Hello, I am a first time poster long time lurker on this site. I have never resorted to posting for solving my PC issues, I usually find the answer with a simple Google search. My problem this time? I don't even know the source of the problem...
I am a PC gaming enthusiast, I am not by any means uneducated in this (though I am always learning more!). However, I am upgrading from an XFX 7770 HD Radeon (1GB Edition) to an ASUS 7850 HD Radeon (2GB, OC)
Primary reason for upgrade was 7770 was getting old, and starting to run slow. I was also invested in a performance upgrade that I expected from the higher tier of the 7K family.
So, I recieved the card, cleaned out my PC, removed the old card, uninstalled the drivers, restarted, installed new drivers, restarted again. It crashed once during the uninstall of the old drivers. I didn't think much of it, just thought it to be a driver conflict...
Then, I go on to my normal testing. Runs CSGO great. Runs MineCraft great. Then, I get on to my web browser to read more about my card. It crashes every time on the GPU Tweak Event site, and I presume it will crash on YouTube or any other multimedia... Please let me know what you guys need to know to help me fix it.
BTW: Crashes are either BSOD, or strange grey/light blue lines going vertically on the screen.
