Hello

Ive got a problem with my GPU...

So today I got a new monitor: BenQ GW2760HS 27''
And when I installed it everything was fine. But after 2-3 hours. The screen went nuts.
It showed vertical lines with 2 colors. Everytime it happend the colors where diffrent.
It didnt do this with my old monitor: Atec NeoView 18.1''

The BenQ is Connected with HDMI.
It only happens when im gaming or try to go to youtube or watch any video.
Please HELP me.

What drivers do you have for your GPU, did you install the Driver Disk that came with the GPU? or did you download a later version?

Try connecting them with DVI instead & see if that makes any difference.

The CD that comes with the 7870 will have outdated drivers on it. So get the latest drivers directly from AMD's website.

It would only be up to date when you updated it and you say that you installed from the cd.
So did you update? Or did you get the latest from amd instead of installing from the cd? Which catalyst version is it displaying?
