Hello,
For past few weeks, I have been having trouble on and off with my display.
I have a HD 6850 1 GB DDR5 - Sapphire, and my PSU is Corsair TX 650W.
My display becomes a solid color (sometimes blue, sometimes black, sometimes other color) with vertical lines. The PC freezes and I have to restart my PC using the reset button/switch.
On rebooting, I usually get shaky lines and patches on the screen..sometimes white, sometimes pink and green/blue.
This seems to happen randomly. Not only when playing games, but sometimes while surfing too.
Not sure whether my gfx card has gone bad, or whether my PSU is not being able to provide enough power. I switched back to my old HD 4670, and no problem.
I ran HWMonitor for temps, and my Gfx card does not seem to reach very high temps - it used to reach 90s, but I suppose that's normal for GPUs. Problem is, I cannot check the temp at the point of crash.
Something I noticed in HWMonitor was that in motherboard section, under -12V section, it shows -7.74V. Could that be a problem?
Thanks for you help and inputs, guys.
