Problems with Graphics Card

[wazza300]

yh that's bad

in the bios for the pcie or peg you'll see auto or gen2/gen3

gen 2 will set it to pcie-2,worth a try I suppose

I get the same green lines when I boot into the Bios

The motherboard dvi works fine

 

[wazza300]

the gpu could be faulty again idk

even so id try gen2 mode and see if the lines disappear in bios

seems like a mb bios bug to me then,if it only does it in hdmi

 

[Marc with a C]

I changed to GEN2 mode, no luck! I can't have had two faulty GPU's so something must be making them fail??? Am I gonna have to RMA another GPU and the Motherboard?

 

[wazza300]

is it only hdmi it wont display correctly?

it works with drivers installed on dvi port?

its hard to say if its gpu or mb,something daft like a bios bug idk

might be worth contacting gigabyte uk and tell them the issue/model of gpu,they might give you custom bios to try

 

[Marc with a C]

The dvi and HDMI are having the same problems. I tried contacting Gigabyte before when my HDD and SSD were faulty and they only have an email support system and they are rubbish at getting back to me.

Does anybody else have any suggestions as to what is causing the problem, could I have connected the psu cables incorrectly? If it is a motherboard problem, would a different gpu have the same problem? Please help

Hmm I've seen those lines before on an old Gainward graphics card, turned out to be the memory on the GPU itself. Core problems usually look different.

What do you suggest, return the card and look at a different card all together? It has happened twice now, so it just doesn't seem to like my mobo.

 

[Neil79]

Or something in your system is corrupting each card, but to be honest it can happen, get two cards both faulty. Your only option really is to return it, note all the screenshots, games it happened in, what you did etc

Well the first time it happened i was playing videos on youtube and the second gpu went while I was on the desktop??? Neither while I was gaming so I wasn't putting the cards under any stress! Has anybody experienced similar issue?
