ezz all
system spec is
xp sp3,amd athlon ii x4 640, 4gb ram on an asus m4a78lt and 450w psu .not a beast by any means but only really gets used for audio apps and a bit of occasional gaming
anyway, I installed a radeon hd5450 a couple of days ago, the card ran fine for a few days and then crashed, pixelated screen and vertical blue lines.
Ive tried uninstalling all the drivers (all up to date), catalyst control, removing the card, rebooting, reinstalling the card. When doing this the display is still pixelated, blue vertical lines appear again through the windows logo and it then goes black and wont go to the desktop.
it runs fine on the bog standard card that came with the machine so its not the cables or monitor. Im pretty sure its not over heating as the machine was only on for about 10 minutes when it happened, and like i said it worked fine for a couple days previously
ive tried looking at solutions for device driver infinite loop & at12dvag issues, mostly they talk about uninstalling/replacing drivers/catalyst control which hasnt made any difference
is it likely the card is faulty or have i missed something really obvious ?
