Hey there, I'm sure you've heard this one before! However I've been searching for months without any working methods, for my friend atleast.
The crash itself is just a grey screen with some vertical lines(no specific color) sound does not stop and keeps running, so for example if a skype conversation is running- you can still talk and hear what other people are saying. Only option is a hard reboot.
So the problem occurs after 30-60 minutes of playing time on full load on all "newer" games, problem also occurs on Heaven Benchmark after about 20-25 minutes. The temperatures all seem stable and low.
My friends' specs:
GPU:Club 3D Radeon PokerSeries HD 7870 Joker Card XT(brand new! out of the box)
RAM: 8 GB(2x4)
PSU: Corsair CX600(which we also just switched, this computer originally had an astonishing 450w unbranded PSU!)
Motherboard: Unknown(as I don't have the computer with me right here), but it is an ASUS MB that comes with an Acer Predator g3610
CPU: Intel Core i5-2320
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
This problem originally started after he wanted to upgrade his graphics card from a GTX 550 ti(which worked perfectly fine), he then got my old 7850 which I think was faulty from the box. Alright, so after that he decided to order a whole new card, that was working from the beginning but crashes became more frequent as time went on.
I've tried everything hardware related and I really can't tell what the problem is, if anyone got a solution I would really appreciate it!
PS: Not my picture, but it's the exact same issue my friend is having!
