 Posted: Tue, 9th Oct 2012 21:02 Post subject: A question about driver/ gpu problem :? |
|
 |
So i just got a call from home, that while my brother was playing Diablo 3, red lines appeared out of nowhere, and my pc froze and only a restart would fix it.After that my mother was on my pc checking stuff on Mozilla and the red lines appeared again, shortly after that white screen and my pc froze again.I'm currently out of town until Friday, but the suspence is killing me.I think either my gpu is dying(not showed any signs tbh, not overclocked as well) or is a video driver issue.I'm not so familliar with the problem, and i'm not gonna see it until Friday when i come back home, so that's all the info i got.
I think the drivers are crashing, and i'm gonna try and install them cleanly, or my gpu is going down but again i'm saying that it has not shown any signs....
I was at my pc the last weekend and it was running flawlessly...so really i don't know how the gpu would've died with like 5 minutes Diablo 3...which is making me think is a drivers problem or could it be the memory 
I just can't wait to get back home and check on that lol..
Oh and also the red lines don't appear when they boot the pc, and when they put the windows password, everything works fine there when they tested today.So this is another point in drivers issue ?
So any suggestions or similar experiences
Thanks in advance

Reseat card, run with the PC cover removed and see if fan is working, feel if it's pushing hot air (when you stress the card), test it with GPU-Z's built-in stress tool while you check temps with GPU-Z. If it keeps crashing, uninstall, run drivesweeper, reinstall latest drivers, try again. If it still crashes/show anomalies it's probably a buggered card.

Being basically the same GPU and PCB layout as 8800GT, it might be dead. You should consider a possible budget for a new card. Sorry I have to bring you such bad news.
