So I was told to get an asus hd radeon 6670 gddr5 GPU, along with an antec earthwatts 380 PSU. Yesterday I got the units and installed everything ( even though there are like 20 connections I didnt use of the new PSU, I only used 3 ). I wasnt having any problems till now. Suddenly out of nowhere I see green dots coming and going all over my screen. It was getting worse and worse, so I turned off my desktop, waited a little bit, and then turned it back on again. Now I dont see the dots anymore. I noticed this happened after 10 minutes of playing 5 minutes on a game using 1680x1050 resolution ( native settings of my monitor ).
Did the GPU overheat? I didnt change the default settings on the GPU through the "catalyst control center" program that came with it. I installed the drivers from the CD, and then updated them through the asus website in order to have the latest version. What caused this and how can I prevent it from happening again? Is my GPU been affected irreversibly already? 380W PSU wasnt enough?
I have an hp desktop p7-1110: i3-2120 @ 3.30GHZ, 6GB RAM, 1TB hard drive.
