Hello, I just got xfx radeon hd 5770 yesterday and I installed it and everything works fine. Today I was on the youtube watching vid and I put it to full screen. After a couple of minutes my monitor did a wierd thing that had tan/brownish vertical lines, I couldn't click anywhere so I restarted my comp and everything seems fine now.

I was wondering if that was a sign of something bad or anything. I also did update all the drives for the gpu when I 1st installed it.

my comp specs are:

OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

motherboard: Intel® Desktop Board DG33FB

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz, 2394 Mhz, 4 Core(s)

Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 6.00 GB



Also it has not happen when I'm playing a game.

I'm having the same problems with my xfx5770. Looked around the web (google problems with HD 5770) and many people are having the same exact issues and not just with the XFX's. would be nice if ATI had some better drivers sooner than later. I don't know how anybody tested these cards with the available driver. in my valve games it works fine but then on 2D mode i get the lines, pixles and rebooting all the time. i'm on Vista 32bit but W7 seems no better. Very disappointing.

Ok, an update to my situation. I went the XFX support technician and told them about my problem and they gave meh a link to a driver download, even though I was sure that I downloaded the right driver in the first place. I installed it anyways and the good thing is that the you-tube full-screen crash has had not happen (I will say if it does again) but, When I was playing BF2 I minimized the screen on the main menu and went to do stuff while the game was still running. When I came back I maximized it back and I click once and the same thing happen like the youtube thing. I told XFX support technician about that as well and they gave me a link to a driver sweeper and now I am about to do that. Hopefully it works.

Here is the link to the driver that they gave me http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticl [...] river.aspx



p.s That sucks for you GaryC I get annoyed if it happens once or twice, but all the time I would be like :fou:
Also its never during a game. Wish they took there time and make sure the the driver was working well.

thanks for the info, i'll wait a couple days to see if CCC 9.11 comes out and then try it again.. it seems to happen in waves it will be good for hours doing anything i want games, 2D stuff, and whatnot, then it will do lines and checkers for no reason just looking at the desktop. I did just set the fan speed to 45% on the overdrive settings, fingers crossed, i am not running it over-clocked at all, i just want stability for now. I can play half-life2 E2 and Portal all day no problem on the highest settings.. and then it freaks out doing easy stuff.. it is running cool 35-45deg ish, but i'm wondering if it's something with the power throttling down when idle?
