So, I posted this a while back:

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-3172977/screen-flashing-fragmenting.html

However, today, I was simply listening to some music etc when all of a sudden my computer black-screened and restarted itself. Not thinking much of it, I went to reopen the game I was playing to find that I was getting around 1 FPS on the loading menu.

So, after searching around for a while, I was settled it wasn't the game: So I took to DxDiag having remembered the issue posted about above. This time, when I clicked onto display a Microsoft Basic Driver appeared, and nothing referred to my graphics card itself.

Please, please, tell me that this isn't my graphic's card's death. The issue above went away for a while after I uninstalled and reinstalled my graphics drivers, but then came back soon after.

I'd appreciate hugely any help or advice anyone can provide. Thank you.

Would there be a way to test that? You see, I've had no problems with it until now, and the glitches and fragmentation normally occur when i'm simply on my desktop, rather than in game. I've never actually noticed them in game, which would be the flag for there not being enough voltage surely?

I've tried reinstalling graphics drivers once again. The card has displayed again in DxDiag, however, I'm still getting the fragmentation. It didn't occur at first but It's began again now (About 4/5 hours later.)

A few thing you can try, Barrow a PSU from a friend or family member and try in your computer. Take your video card and install it into another computer to see if it does the same thing. Third buy a cheap PSU tester, I normally dont like these because they dont put a load on the PSU to give you load voltage, they will just tell you what voltage the unit puts out without a load on it. They also dont give you an amp reading ether, unless your buying a very expensive unit.


When a computer is not getting the right voltage it can do some real weird stuff.

You definitely don't think it's anything to do with the drivers? It seems really weird that it would fix and unfix itself depending on whether I had certain drivers installed.

Could it be that they aren't uninstalling properly or there's multiple versions installed and that's causing an issue or something?

It's still happening and I still haven't found any way around this, nor have I found anyone with similar troubles. If anyone can explain this It'd be so, so helpful.
