So here is the issue that is bothering me, and through research have concluded what is bothering thousands.

I bought my 7850 a while ago (3 months) and finished building my setup like 1 mont ago and finally started using it like a week ago, today I installed World Of warcraft on it and installed a few drivers on there too because I had never installed the updated drivers and my screen had like faded red horizontal lines which I determined was caused because of the outdated drivers. When i updated my drivers and launched world of warcraft in the login screen, vertical lines appeared, but then my screen went back to normal, then after like 15 minutes of game time, the same thing happened again, only this time it did not return, it stayed like this until I shutdown my computer and turned it back on, when i did, I installed the second bet driver and right when that finished installing, I opened google chrome, went to a youtube video and the video card failed again. I rebooted back up and am awaiting for the next thing to happen, please respond ASAP on a solution if you know one.

Build is:

Asrock Pro3 B75 Mobo

Sapphire Radeon HD 7850

Intel i5 3350p 3.1 ghz

Corsair CX600

Corsair Vengance 8gb (2x4GB) memory RAM

1TB WD Caviar Blue HDD

Disc CD ROM

Try running driver sweeper and install latest drivers again, also check if all your wires and cables aren't loose because loose video wires can cause those red lines you were talking about
