Hi

I think there may be a problem with my GPU. I have just finished my first build. Whenever I am using my GPU over the on board graphics the screen has black borders around it and then goes completely black a few minutes after logging on. I checked in my motherboard program (Asrock a-tuning) and in the bios and the GPU is showing up. I was also able to install drivers. Is there a problem with my GPU? Everything works fine when using on board graphics

This my GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202080
and this is my mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157374

Amd has this thing called "overscan.". Not sure what it really does, but depending on the size of your monitor it seems this happens. Go into the catalyst control, find overscann and adjust.
