Yo, I just bought a new Computer and everything on it seems to be working fine with the exception of my GPU. When I installed the drivers for the card I got a graphical glitch on the login screen after a boot. After logging in I got a few more graphical glitches before the screen went grey. When I logged on again this happened again. And finally a third time I couldn't even log on anymore as the screen was just grey...

For some reason it started working again when I powered on, and I removed the old driver with the display cleaner (something I had seen on another thread) and reinstalled the most current driver. The problem persists with CCC 14.4 and CCC beta 14.7

FML any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some more information btw

Intel 4790k 4.0Ghz

750 W thermaltake "Smart" power supply

Z97P Asus motherboard


Sorry if I sound like a noob btw, next time I'm going to go with a mac. JK

Don't worry I did some more research and it's a known issue that the graphics memory on this card overheats. I just RMA'd it today. Thanks anyways!
