What is up with my PC? Pic enclosed.

Just booted it up and went for a 'phone call. Got back and Win 7 was doing some system check for errors. It could not find out what was wrong so I rebooted it, noticed the corruption - it occurs in BIOS - and Win 7 gets so far and bluescreens.

Any ideas? I have few opportunities to test parts.

E6600, 4 gig of some memory, GT8800, Win 7 x64, Asus P5B (?).

Cheers.

Looks like the graphic card has corruption.

I had something similar on an old laptop. It was the begginning of the end for the graphics card.

I think if its vertical lines its the core itself meaning the card is on the way out, or just overheating, or some other issue.

yea is probably the graphics card those sort of lines used to apear if you overclocked the memory on a gfx card to much

AMG · 5 Jan 2010 at 12:57

throught lines was core dots are vram or is it the other way around ?

When it does this, somthing to do with the gpu ain't it? The memory on the card I have heard.

Cheers, but would that cause a BSOD and a reset? Well, I'll have to fins a PCIE card to try out.

Many thanks.

Your get a BSOD is the gpu is dodgy, try to swap it out for a different one.

I got a screen worse than this, the results turns out that my 8800GTX died, it will never output any image again after showing that corrupted screen

simpletom · 5 Jan 2010 at 15:51

Damn, well I got a good run out of it. I guess I'll have to get another
