Hello,

Since a couple of days my video card has shown strange stripes on screen. At first happened only a single time ATI reset my drivers and everything was fine. Next day it happened every 5 minutes and now it directly start when booting the computer and the whole system crashes when windows starts.

I was wondering if this is a common problem with ATI or that is was just bad luck. And can this be fixed or not?

Its a HD3870 from MSI.

Thanks in advantage.

I think I would begin by
-- uninstalling the ATi drivers, re-boot,
-- use driversweeper to completely uninstall the ATi drivers, re-boot, and
-- re-install the ATi drivers.
If that doesn't solve the problem try using another monitor to see if it shows the orange stripes; if it does not, your monitor may be failing.

The problem is cannot with my HD3870 get into windows... it completely crashes and doest respond to anything.
When I switch the video card with another one it works fine.

So it definitely is my HD3870 my question is if its a burned GPU or something else. I would like to prevent this from happening if I buy a new card.
