Hi everyone, I'm having a big problem with my video card.
Whenever I play a video on youtube or a game in facebook for example, at some point the screen freezes and then appears a message telling me that the display driver stopped responding and then recovered (I think it's called TDR). Also, when I try to play Tropico 4 with all the graphic settings at maximum, after some time I can see some weird graphics, strange squares all over the floor, and then another TDR.
Sometimes a TDR occurs, others I get a BSOD with the code 0x116.
I tried reinstalling the drivers, used different versions, got rid of any malware, optimized the computer, cleaned the registry, and some other things but none of them seemed to help.
Also I checked for memmory errors, and no one was found,
Before having this problem, I remember I opened the computer to clean every part, and I also changed the video card to another slot cause it was overheating(It was almost at the bottom of the mobo and I put it close to the CPU).
I've been trying to solve this for weeks. I've seen a lot of threads here and on another forums but none of them was helpful, so... is there any solluition for this, or it's time to upgrade my card?
Btw, here are my specs:
MSI K9A2 Platinum v1
AMD Phenom 9550 x4
2x1GB DDR2 OCZ Platinum 800Mhz
2x2GB DDR2 Corsair Xms2 800Mhz
Sapphire HD4850 512MB DDR3 (First version)
WDC WD5000AAKS-22A7B0 (500 GB HDD)
PSU: Satellite SL-8600 EPS (By the time my father bought the computer, he didn't know anything about other PSUs, but he says this PSU is ok)
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
UPDATE: While I was writing this, I got another BSOD, this time the code shown was 0x3B.
Thanks for reading!
