I've rigoursly searched for post that specificllay details my situatuion. Couldn't find one. So I'm posting it here:
My computer - SOMETIMES - displays little discolored squares in the startup menu and in the space above a open window or application. When I scroll my mouse, they flicker and change place somewhere on the startup or window. And, when I open CCC, the infamous pink bars of card faliure/bad driver installation appear. I've reinstalled the drivers - currently running on the 12.1, and the problem came back when I brought my computer back from sleep while I was out.
I decided to open my case up, take the card out, and put it back in...
When I turned the computer on, the bars in the startup menu were gone. However, CCC still had pink slits when opened. My computer said it was installing some updates and when it finished it asked to restart the comp. So I did that.
Now CCC is fine. And so is the startup.
At no point, before or after the problem, have any of my games displayed the pink bars or like discoloured squares...
The problem seems to come and go.
Could it be only when my computer goes to sleep?
It's really quite odd.
Are my cards dying?
This is my setup:
6970 x2
1050W PSU
8 GB RAM
i5 2500k (o'ced to 4.5 ghz with corsair water cooling)
