Did this start happening after you updated the drivers? If so, try one or two version back.

cowboydude99 :

no, i already had the problem before i updated the Drivers
also a question : can it help if i unclock my video card cuz i have it overclocked right now to : GPU 900 mhz and Memoryclock 1250 mhz

Not sure about that... give it a try.

I have a question for you.
You say when you start up your computer... does this happen during POST (bios screen) or after Windows loads?

Arcanekitten · Sep 25, 2014

cowboydude99 :

no i doesnt happen with the bios screen it happens after windows loads.
but in the bios screen with your motherboard brand (gigabyte) it will display like pixels that are normal white but now gray, and after or before the bios screen it will display alot of random devices whats that??
also in that screen sometimes like with the bios screen some gray device names are blue instead of gray but not complete words but just a couple

That sounds like a hardware problem. Is that a new GPU?

cowboydude99 · Sep 25, 2014

Yeah, sounds like a bad gpu...

When you OC the GPU, did you increase the voltage? Maybe you damaged it?

Arcanekitten · Sep 25, 2014

well its about 1 year old and no i dint increase the voltage on my own how do i check if my voltage is increased ?

You should never have visual glitches in the bios...

By seeing these problems in the bios it rules out driver problems, and all software problems.

Have you contacted the manufacturer's support yet? If not, you should. Maybe there are some bios updates for your GPU or motherboard.

From the info, I'd suggest getting an RMA or new card... or if it isn't too bothersome, just keep using it until you're ready to upgrade.

Just some other things I'd suggest. To rule out a bad port on the GPU, remove one of the monitors. See what happens in the bios. If you still have problems, try the other monitor.

If you still have problems, try new cables.

Still have problems, RMA/upgrade.

well i was already was thinking to upgrade to a 290 tri-x , so if that will work i will go for that.
if i have any problems i will post them.
thanks for the help and the effort

cowboydude99 · Sep 26, 2014

Avoid the 290. The GTX 970 is cheaper and better.

The 290 is $420 on NewEgg.
The GTX 970 is $350.

Arcanekitten · Sep 26, 2014

well i live in europe and in europe the 290 is cheaper that the gtx 970 about 25$ so yeah..
290 :329,49$ Gtx 970 : 354,89$

smeezekitty · Sep 26, 2014

Well the 970 will match a 290X

Arcanekitten · Sep 26, 2014

well ok but i am on a budget so yeah :/

cowboydude99 · Oct 3, 2014

For $25 I'd go for the 970... specifically if you're the type of person that will regret not buying it.

I've done this and then decided to sell the cheaper one to upgrade to the better one.

Both cards are good...

hi guys coming back on this i still have my hd7850 1gb but i noticed that during this vertical weird thing when i hit the case or any thing that causes the case to vibrate the vertical lines fade away but shortly after it comes back but when you just give a kick to your case the verticale lines stop (sometimes when it stops the mouse curser bugs and it will be bigger or mixed into parts) whats this also my video card or my motherboard?

smeezekitty · Oct 18, 2014

Sounds like a bad solder joint on the card

Arcanekitten · Oct 18, 2014

and that is ??!
sorry i pretty noob on those things

smeezekitty · Oct 18, 2014

One of the solder connections (little drops of melted metal) that connect the components together may have broken loose.

Some people have had luck with reflowing but if you still have a warranty then don't do that.

Arcanekitten · Oct 18, 2014

is there any ways to check that ?
without checking every solder connectioners

smeezekitty · Oct 18, 2014

The crudest method to reflow is just to bake it in the oven. On the plus side, it doesn't require any specialized equipment

Before going to buy new one please try to format your pc because as you are saying its showing blue screen and vertical screen sometimes it happens due virus or windows damage files.

Arcanekitten · Oct 31, 2014

James0007 :

when i am upgrading my pc i alreaedy had planned to reinstall my windows again and also format/scan my pc files
btw i already have a 4 anti virus scanners running at this time cuz 2 failed last month :/
