I just bought a Sapphire R7 260x video card, it has been 2 days and i got my first Blue screen ( i was watching youtube on full screen)

It shows that my ATIKMDAG.sys was causing the trouble. I did uninstall the driver and install it again and so far didnt have any trouble.

My pc specs:
MB: Asus M5A97 EVO
CPU: AMD Phenom II 2.7 GHz, 3.2 GHz turbo core
RAM: Vengence Corsair 4GB ddr3
Power: Sentey 650w plus 80 Solid power SDP650SS.

Like i said no problem but that 1 blue screen, is there any chance my RAM or CPU/MB/Power / are too old? i bought them at 2012.

I saw that lots of people with the R7 260x got blue screens or black monitors, should i flash my bios to a newer version? or just leave it there?

Oh and when i turn on the computer i see some white lines on the botom, i dont know if my graphics are broken or what.

Download MSI AfterBurner and install it then open it and overclock the memory clock and core clock by 5MHz and 10 MHz. Don\t overclock too much else you card will be fried or will cause blue lines or tearing on the screen. Just overclock a little and try running the game and see if it helps. Also try underclocking instead of increasing the core and memory clock reduce it and see if it helps. But to me that seems like a bad graphic card.
