guys....i think ive found the prob.
since my PC was restarting like a mad dog...and since i was as angry as a mad bull..i decided to do it the hard way!
i just kept waving all the wires esp.the one that connects to the card...some blocks started to disappear!and since then my pc looks fine!i don't think its the PSU but the adapter that i got with the card...anyway im not sure yet...ill check out tom morning which is when everything is at its worst and report back.!
pray for me!

Dear buddy,
I have also got the same problem (3 vertical red lines and dots) with palit 4850 sonic and also tried it with intel 965 ry with transcend 800 ram but no use the same lines appear again. Tried different ram, psu, hdd, the error still persists and I tried xfx 7300 gt card in my mobo it works fine. So I found the culprit is the 4850 sonic. Tried every possible way even without hdd and keyboard, mouse but no use.

yes its the cards fault.i suspected that the power converter i got with the card was faulty...got it replaced but no use.
now i have found the prob,it is the power port on the card that is loose. i took it to the service center again and they agreed to replace it(finally!)...ill have to wait till Monday for it!
btw...when those lines appear try to gently(or little hard) press the power port on your GFX card..if then the lines disappear then its the ports fault.
did you ask for replacement?

i too had a prob with my HD4850 sonic.... i used to get the BSOD only when i played games...
i jus ent to the dealer... threw it on his face and gave a few blastings... n viola he coolly took a box of HD4850 sonic, removed the new card from it and put in the old card and gave the new card to me...!!!
i donno what's goin to happen to the person who buys it.... anyway gettin it replaced its the best option.... i also tried my HDD, ram with ohter comps and jus worked fine... and i tot maybe the PSU was insufficient and i also tried it with a corsair HX620... but the problem persisted....
so got it changed...

d00d i am also having the same issue. I got a replacement for my first card last thursday. I plugged it in. For first 10-20 mins there were no problems. I had to shutdown and attend o some work. After that i came back and powered the pc bang the red lines are appearing again. I tried all the possible things told above, still no use. Can you tell me what exactly happened and how it got fixed at ur end My PSU is Corsair VX450.

I have tried that also but still the issue exsist. Since this card is a replacement for the old one I am afraid whether the Tirupati guys will help. Can you tell me where in Kerala do Palit have service centres? I hail from TVM. Btw now I am also not able to install the drivers of my card.
sry dude i don't know abt TVM.
i got mine replaced at the Tirupati service center in EKM.
and i cant see how they wont give you a replacement again.
next time test it with them.
and btw since both the cards are faulty i suggest you check if your SMPS and RAM are ok!.
best of luck!

My SMPS and RAM are working fine... SMPS - Corsair VX450 and RAM - Corsair TwinXMS2 2 x 1gb My friend plugged his 8800GT into mine and its working fine. Anyways thanks for ur reply d00d. I guess will have to travel to EKM. I dont trust this card shipping thing.
