I've got another topic on trying to fix this issue however it's been persistent and nothing in that topic has fixed the issue.
I have bought a new graphics card from overclockers: MSI ATI Radeon HD 6850 Cyclone Power Edition.
I installed it using an anti-static wrist band and was extremely careful, if the issue is a hardware one then it is through no reasonable fault of my own.
I have updated the graphics card drivers, my bios, my chipset drivers ,reinstalled the os and removed my cpu overclock.
The temperature is fine, (sits at about 32-36C, runs at about 55C), my power is fine (650W corsair PSU), my voltages are all fine.
Nothing in the event log seems to be particularly suspicious although I do get the re-occurrence of event ID 11:
Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application. The system administrator should review the list of libraries to ensure they are related to trusted applications.
The problem:
My display keeps crashing.
Generally it's stable if I'm just browsing the desktop (it still crashes sometimes though)
If I go to play a game it crashes about half the time. If I actually get onto the game I can be playing for an hour straight and it may still not crash, although often it will at some point, if it hasn't crashed after about an hour and a half it probably won't crash, and then I can even play other games and it'll almost definitely be completely stable.
Loading a save can cause the crash or just opening the game. Minimising and maximising often causes a crash.
When I actually get onto the game it's very smooth with no problems.
Sometimes running certain applications (most notably cpu-z when it's starting) it can crash, but most of the time for the same applications it'll be fine.
It can run msi kombustor benchmark fine (it's worked every time i've tried) but seems to crash in heaven benchmark (it's crashed every time i've tried).
I don't get a BSOD, the display just dies in one of three ways:
- Lines of colours will appear on the screen, they can be anything from light pink to dark grey, always the same colour in each individual crash but in different shades.
- The screen will go blank/black
- The screen will go white (this is the rarest, it's only happened 2 or three times)
It doesn't seem to crash in safe-mode.
I also just took the card out and put it back in but the crashes are still happening just as much.
Anyway, I've tried everything, what should I do? what could be causing the problem? Anything is appreciated.
