Just put in my new blueray drive and now when i turn the pc on im getting some red dots and my screen flickers black every so often. I tried going into safe mode and its alright.

Ok this is weird i uninstalled my graphics drivers and started it up and its fine. I then put them back on and now i got the same problem.

anyone?

Tried installing some older drivers like 10.10 or something? The latest 10.12 caused BSODs with my 5770. I went back to 10.10 and not a problem.

I fixed it now, all i had to do was swap the wire at the back for my monitor into the other socket :rolleyes:

My problem has come back, instead of restarting the pc myself i waited. Then the screen went black and reapperaed with a message saying your graphics drivers has recovered from an error successfully.
Just checked gpuz is my graphics card too hot, also is my core speed and memory speed too high?

From what I can see, your temps and clocks seem fine. Maybe try increasing your fanspeed higher to about 55%, and see if problem still persists. I'm not sure if your gpu is overheating, but could well be.
