I installed a new video card in a build I just completed yesterday. For the first 4-5 hours everything ran just fine. Then I started getting a blue screen with vertical lines (not the BSOD). This happens at random times but usually withing few minutes. Just sitting there, browsing the web, watching a video, ect. It blue screens.
I've worked the issue down the drive set, which is AMD Catalyst. I've used three different versions, one that it came with, the newest 13.12 and v 13.1. All of them result in blue screen with vertical lines.
When it does blue screen I have to hold in the power button to do a hard reset. About 75% of the time when its booting up, the video card doesnt kick in. I again have to hard reset it. Without the catalyst drivers it seems stable.
Am I thinking right that its the actual video card that bad?
