Ok so Ive been having this problem for a few weeks now. When I play games my computer would randomly crash. At first it was a grey screen with light vertical lines across it, but now it is a white screen with vertical lines. What may be causing this? The computer may sometimes crash within a few minutes, but at others after an hour or more. I opened up my computer and cleaned it of any dust and sorts and still get the same problem. Any help would be incredibly appreciated.
I have a powercolor HD 6870.
I have a xion 700w PSU that came with my computer, it has only 1 12v cable but splits into two 6-pin connectors that I plugged in my card. Is there any chance that may be the problem? Ive had the card for about a month now and it never gave me any problems until now.
I am running the most up to date drivers, hasnt needed an update since I bought the card. Havent moved it either.
Ran afterburner to moniter my gpu temps in game, was playing a run through Bastion when i got another crash. Temps were normal: at an average of 44C.
Another thing i noticed was that the memory would jump from its usual 1050 Mhz down to about 150Mhz randomly. Idk if that means anything but i saw it.
