Hi friends,
i5 2500
Intel DH67BL
Sapphire Radeon HD 6870
Corsair 1X4GB DDR3
Cooler Master Elite 430
Logitech MK200
BenQ G2222HDL
APC Back UPS 600
LG 22X
Seagate 1 TB 7200

Bought the above and installed OS XP SP2 yesterday. Once I installed all the drivers, now when I thought all is well, am seeing frequent issues as below:

1. Screen goes blank very frequently, it may be during software installation(s) or even when idle at times or the same happens when i try to right click anytime at times.
Also some lines appear for a jilt of a second during this time and again after 5 sec, everything becomes normal. I have installed to SP3 and have the latest ATI 11.6 driver but still the same thing happens.

I checked the GPU Temp in GPU-Z, and it states as below.


Date , GPU Core Clock [MHz] , GPU Memory Clock [MHz] , GPU Temperature [°C] , Fan Speed [%] , GPU Load [%] , Fan Speed [RPM] , GPU Temp. #1 [°C] , GPU Temp. #2 [°C] , GPU Temp. #3 [°C] , VDDC [V] ,

PFA my brand new config I bought yesterday:

i5 2500
Intel DH67BL
Sapphire Radeon HD 6870
Corsair 1X4GB DDR3
Cooler Master Elite 430
Logitech MK200
BenQ G2222HDL
APC Back UPS 600
LG 22X
Seagate 1 TB 7200


I used ATI 6870 with latest driver installed. However i experience really annoying problems that my screen would suddenly freeze or black out and after a few seconds it'll respond again, but it will bring me out to my desktop and a message like "VPU Recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands". then ask me if i wanna report the issue to ATI etc.. Many a time there will be gray bars for a jilt of a sec across the screen when this happens when the monitor goes black, sometimes the monitor just stays black.

this card is brand new, can any expert please help me friends? I haven't installed any game and this happens when am just browsing or when I try to navigate within or even when idle! when I checked the GPU-Z, the highest recorded temp was 53c and the lowest was 45c.

Please help

My friend wants to buy a GPU for 6k and we are not sure whether to but a gts 450 or a 5750.His psu is FSP Saga II 400W.
Did not start a new thread as I thought asking here will be enough

@sunny

I think it would be better if your friend had a Fsp Saga II 500w

For Gpu, even the 6770 Hd is available for 6k exact which is reccomended over Nvidia Gtx 4xx series.

@ thetechfreak He has bought a new pc just 15 days before.He had decided first to get a 6670 but later we have shifted to 5750 to450.Will the psu not be able to handle that card.
5770 sells for 6.7k in my city.
We ant the budget by 07k.
Between the other two which one would be better

i dont think its wise to get a gpu with a P4 processor. huge bottleneck. save up for new processor and mobo first.

get this first -


Component | Make | Price Processor |AMD Phenom II x4 840|4800
Motherboard |Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H|4000
RAM |G.Skill F3-10666CL9S-2GBNQ|1100
PSU |FSP Saga II 500W|2000
| Total |11900

add a gpu later :)

^^thanks buddy for the link and the advice.honestly,i didnt expect such a blazing fast reply from the members,hence sorry for the delay.
Coming back to the point,the PSU is a 250W unit and the cpu specs can be seen as posted in the link above.the target performance should be comparable to the likes of laptops like DV6-6017tx/6121tx and should be reliable.the maximum my parents are willing to spend on this 5 year machine are 20000.

A complete system overhaul is recommended in lines of what Jas has suggested. Or better wait some time for prices to come down and get a Llano based system.

Yeah, damn good config by Jas. If budget is constrained to 20k, the 6850 may be replaced with a 6770.
