A month ago I posted on here about a problem I was having with my computer that was causing graphical issues on a consistent basis.
My post is here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/349546-33-weird-boxes-display-hiccups-assuming-card-advice
Here are some screenshots of the issues I was having:
And in games:
Disabling Aero made it better, but still couldn't play 3D games, and still got crashes consistently. I finally convinced XFX to RMA the card for me, which I did two weeks ago. They e-mailed me today with this message:
I don't know what else it could be. I've reinstalled drivers, tried a different PCI slot, tried different cables, etc. I've been considering ordering a 7970 and just reselling this one, but if it's something else on my PC causing the problem I would still have the issue, plus I don't want to sell someone a busted 5970. Since sending the card back I got by with a temporary card, a 5450...have had no problems with it, other than it sucks.
Any idea what is wrong with my PC to cause these problems?

[DANIEL_E 5/10/2012 6:38:10 PM] We have performed extensive testing on the card you sent in and have not been able to find any issues with it. At this point I am confident that the product is fully functional and the issue you described is not related to the card. We would like to send the card back as it is fully functional. Please let us know if there is anything in particular you would like to have tested before we do so. To give you a little background on our testing process, the card has been put into 4 different systems and a battery of tests have been performed on the card. All ports are tested, both digital and analog, and then if all the ports show video, the card is then tested in a number of benchmarks for stability. We test the card through Crysis, Heaven, Resident Evil 5, The Last Remnant, and 3DMark Vantage to name a few of the tests. If the card fails at any time, then the test is over. If it doesn`t fail then the last test we do on the card is an overnight burn in test that loops a benchmark for 12+ hours. We ran the card in the heaven benchmark overnight to see if it would fail. It went throuh fine for about 16 hours. Thanks, Daniel
