Hello
Symptoms
I have had the HD6850 for 3 years and for the last 3 months or so I have experienced black screening during gaming. Recently, searching for a solution, I removed my graphics card, used an air duster to remove all the dust, removed thermal paste and then applied a new layer (after carefully watching videos and using appropriate methods). Since I have done that my graphics card has been seriously failing when I try and run 3D applications, mainly games (apart from hearthstone for some reason) I do not know how to describe what happens to my screen so here is a link to a video of what's going on demonstrated using OCCT. If a higher resolution video would be useful I will happily provide one. A diagnosis/reason as to why it's going wrong would be ideal if that's possible.
Specs
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Graphics card: Sapphire HD 6850, here is a link to its amazon page
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 PRO Motherboard
CPU: AMD HDZ965FBGMBOX Phenom II X4 965
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-600CXV2UK Builder Series 600W Power Supply
RAM: Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB
Monitor in case it's useful: BenQ GL2450HM 1920x1080 monitor
My setup is not new, most of it I have had for 2-3 years. Let me know of any additional information I can provide you with, I will get back to you asap. If my graphics card is beyond saving recommendations of a replacement would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help!
