Hi there everyone!
I'm here to get a bit of advice on my black screen of death problem, I am 90% sure it is linked to my Radeon HD 6870 card but after tinkering I got it to work for about 4 days... Basically my computer is 3 years old so is the card and have had no problems like this before, then out of the blue Im' getting black screen after windows logo. So after reading around I tried safe-mode which worked and once I disabled/uninstalled my card/drivers I could run windows again albeit with no graphics, at that point I was half-sure my card was bust but wasn't ready to buy new one yet. I read it could be a PSU problem so I checked my power supply in the bios but all was normal so after reinstalling windows+ all updates I finally installed the driver for my card, reboot annd nope still the same.. But then.. restarted computer again and it worked as normal... Was able to update to latest video card drivers and play games, which would have been nice but it only lasted 4 days, now I'm back to square one, it just seems weird that it would work and then not again. Opinions? should I just get new card or is there something more sinister afoot!
