Hey everyone,
After replacing my Radeon 6450 with a Radeon 7970, my homebuilt desktop is having multiple issues. First, a random coloured screen with vertical lines or just a plain black screen occurs when I am gaming. There is no blue screen and the sound continues but in order to fix the issue, I must manually restart my machine. Second, the USB on my machine fails once in a while and I must disconnect and reconnect the devices in order for it to work again. But the random coloured screen pop ups and needing to restart the machine is really getting on my nerve. I have run tests for all my components except the motherboard and it all passes. I suspect the Power Supply the most as it is a generic 700w but I think the motherboard or the graphics could be the issue as well.
