ati hd 4890 heating problem

[Mussels]

a weak/failing PSU can cause restarts and crashes, but it CANNOT cause consistent artifacting like those stripes.


I would replace the PSU no matter what, but its very likely one of the parts i listed will need replacing as well.


You're asking for advice from the experts, then ignoring the advice.

as per u mentioned about using different monitor
i dont have any extra
and i dont always run my pc on gpu
somtimes i got work to do n i cant afford restarts
so switch it to default display i.e onboard graphic
and at that time i dont see any lines
my monitor works perfectly

Is the onboard GPU connected to a different port at the back of the monitor or do you pull out the cable form the dedicated GPU and attach it to the onboard GPU out?

i remove 2x6pin(75watts) cable from gpu
the extra power which is required to run the GPU

i hope you also remove it from the motherboard, or we might have found the source of why its damaged

Just to add, despite being in the PCI-E slot, it is still getting power, just nowhere near enough which could potentially damage the card.

ok so you cleaned out the drivers and installed the motherboard drivers from intel then the Video card drivers from AMD?
