Hi,

Wondering if i could get some help, Just turned on my spare computer this morning and it was running fine for the first hour but all a sudden the screen started to change color everything went a reddish/pink color while browsing the web then pixels started turning white. I have just restarted the computer and now all i get is these white boxes and it wont boot into windows now i just get a blue screen. I have taken out the card and put a spare one in and it's fine with that card so i now it's definitely my 4870 again.

This has happened a few times over the year before today but most the time it went away after about a minute and just corrected itself, Last time it happened was a month ago and i decided to do a flash a new bios on it to see if that fixes it which it did and it also reduced the temperatures went from 60c to 70c.

Anything i can do now or would you suggest to get rid of it ?
Iv attached some pictures of what it's doing at the moment.

Edit: forgot to mention that iv had it for 5 years now in the spare computer and that has a 500w PSU only a cheap Psu made my CIT, but been fine for 4 years in there.

Looks rather like memory artifacting. Possibly a sign for replacement.

going from 60c to 70c would mean an increase in temps right?

does not look like a gpu fail, but more like a monitor fail to me.

but if it is a gpu failure it could be memory errors. probably solders cracking which is why it would go away after a while.
try playing some games to see if it goes away when the card hits a good temperature

if you have another monitor try it out if it still does it then it's the card. Looks to me like memory.

Thanks.

Sorry it went from 70c to 60c, Had to head out as i typed that out...lol.
Just tried a different monitor one of my old dells but it's even worse on that they line are going horizontal during boot up, then when it comes to loading windows it just goes black or i get blue screen.
Cant boot into at all so cant even try and a game to increase temperatures : (

Suppose no way of fixing it then ?
I have just been offered a GT610 for £20 new, so i might buy that and put that in since no one really uses it that much anymore...Not for gaming anyway.
