So I built a PC for my brother and its having problems. I'm trying to narrow down the cause. After 4-6 hours of playing league of legends his computer gets a Gray Screen With Vertical Lines. He can still talk to friends on Skype and hear the game but has to restart in-order it see screen.
+ I have updated windows 7 fully, and used ez driver installer provide on the driver disc to update drivers for motherboard, and the driver updater for the video card as well.
+ All fans are work and temps dont get high at all.
+ I have currently swapped his GPU with the one from my my personal computer. So far he has played 2 hours of league of legends with my videocard and I have played 2 hours of Planetside 2 with his videocard so far neither computer has had the issue but I plan on testing it at least 6 hours befor I swap them back.
+ I have looked into other solutions online and they range from bad GPU, Changing the resolution settings, modifying bios to add more voltage to cpu, and updating drivers. I would like some suggestions from people instead of searching more forums for partially related issues. So Please any troubleshooting and diagnostics ideas will help.
+ Also I have rma'ed a different mother board already it was getting no video feed at all and could not access bios or os. Replacing it fixed that issue and now I have to deal with another one not sure if they are related.
