I have a XFX Radeon HD 7850 Black Edition and I am experiencing all types of problems with it. Randomly, it will crash my computer and show stripes and bars. When I boot it up on the BIOS, it will show different colored lines. I have tried countless different drivers and I cannot get it to function. I strongly believe that it is not a heating issue before anyone suggest that. I am currently in the process of requesting an RMA but would like to know if there is a way to fix it before I do that.

If this helps, when I start my computer, it will show the "Windows is Starting" splash screen and then it will not go to that blue screen before displaying the desktop, it just goes black for about five seconds and skips right to the desktop. It does not do that when the driver is not installed.

Thanks.
