Hey all! Hope all is well and going better than me at the moment - bout to loose the last bit of my hair if i can't fix this little problem i am facing ;p. I have been at it for the past week or so...
Anyway!
Bout 2 months ago i purchased a 5870 - great card, love it. After that 2 months the screen went black and didnt turn on again even after reset (tried friends computer and same thing - loud fan noise aswell) - so i got it returned and replaced on the spot at my store.
New 5870 i put into computer, and different issue - i now get vertical lines after 1minute to 10minutes into play in various of games from Steam games, to MMOs.
This card was in my E6600/P5B CPU/Motherboard while i did upgrade yesterday aswell to a I7 950 and a P6X58D-E Motherboard and i still continue to get the lines.
I have done a couple of re formats of the computer what is running Win 7 Ult 64bit edition.
So i had a look on the forums, websites etc seeing what some fixes might work.
I have tried the various tweaks in the fan speeds, and so forth by downclocking and overclocking and no luck that i see. I have tried various drivers from the 9.1 beta, 10.1 hotfix, 10.10, and currently back to 10.11.
I have contacted Sapphire regarding this and what they said back is my sku - graphic card has the latest VBIOS - shouldn't be a problem with it.
That is annoying coz i cant claim RMA apparently and store i got it from saying its my computer and i have to deal with it or get a RMA from sapphire what i cant get.
In the meantime, is there anything else i can try and do to see if i can fix this problem?
I have tried working on this for the past several days and no luck, any help would be greatly appreciated!!
My current new specs below:
CPU: I7 950
MTB: ASUS P6X58D-E
Pwr: Antec TP-750 (750W) TruePower
RAM: G.SKILL 6GB KIT DDR3 RIPJAWS C8 1600MHZ
GPU: Sapphire HD 5870
OS: Win 7 Ult 64bit
Here are some stats of what i can think of showing you.
