Purchased a brand new 760 GTX over the weekend, things ran smoothly the first night after installation. Turned on my computer this morning, things were fine until I went to play a youtube video and i got some cyan squares checkered across my screen and the display crashed. Held the power button and restarted the computer, went past the bios, got to the "Windows has recovered from a crash", ran windows as normal, and it blue screened with lines all over the display. Every time I turn the comp on, i see lines on the bios screen and the recovery screen as well...

Just want to know if someone else has had this issue and if it was a hardware or driver issue, thanks.

I would try booting off of on-board video if you have it then manually download newest drivers from Nvidia web-page. Install then restart to bios and try enabling it again. Might as well exhaust your resources before returning it.

True, but corruption on the BIOS screen is likely a bad card. Although it may be a dodgy cable. I thought my old 8800 GTS was dying, but it turned out to be a bad DVI cable. Try another cable if you can just to make sure lol.

Had my GTX 680 for 8 months. Suddenly started crashing on High - Mid performances.

Turned out to be faulty GPU. Sent it back to the shop for testing.

Try another cable if the same thing happens, use your warranty.

Wouldn't it make more sense to try another cable before the whole nightmare of RMA?
