for the past one week i have been trying to resolve this issue...but dont know what went wrong..
my monitor just shows a red screen and then goes black and just blinks the signal light....even if we restart the system,the blinking LED with
black screen continues...then i have to remove pc from power ,wait for 5 minutes then everything goes fine..
whats interesting is that even if the computer is at idle this happens .I checked the gpu aswell as cpu temperatures and they are at 52 and 45..
if i switch to integrated graphics everthing goes fine..
i updated my CC to latest and no change..
I am pretty sure that my psu can handle the card.
Pls help:(

Recently I installed a 4550 at Windows 7 and the font was blurred. I removed the driver and the font ok. I hadn't the time for testing several previous drivers, but you can do that. Test your pc without any driver and then test it with some older ones. It might be a driverproblem.

could from your monitor, check your monitor setting.
what about if you run auto setting and check your refresh rate

+1 looks RAM'ish. Maybe a down clock? see if that help's?

I'd PERSONALLY remove the card, clean it, Re-Seat the heat sink with fresh TIM, and go from there, can't hurt to rule out what YOU yourself can fix, IF it saves You from the RMA process.

Hi

It is not recommended to disable XD technology in motherboard bios as it may leave the system open to buffer overflow attacks [set this to enabled]

Note: XD tech only effects intel; the AMD chip uses a different NX tech

nb: "bad vram..is there any way to fix it? :-?" no, it will continue to degrade

Hi

what about PCI compliance test pattern?

I would not worry about this to much; should be fine to leave it as is; [as far as I am aware] it was designed to oporate with an Oscilloscope to diagnose faults
