Just built a bran new computer for the first time and it worked perfectly for about 5 or 6 hours straight then I started getting this error: "Display driver AMD stopped responding and has recovered" Well I've been reading forums for the past three days on it, tried so many different fixes and it just keeps getting worse and worse. My computer would get all pixelated, freeze, go to a black screen and then I'd get that error. This happened infrequently at first then got to the point where it was happening every 2-5 seconds and then eventually I'd blue screen before windows 7 would even load. I did a fresh install of windows 7 and the pixels were still happening in the bios and all during the installation. They go away occasionally when I reboot. Before installing the new drivers from AMD my computer looks like this when it's pixelated http://imgur.com/FQIza . sometimes The pixels aren't there but follow my mouse cursor. then after installing the drivers immediate crash with that error about the display drivers. http://imgur.com/nAYPL . STOP: 0x0000116 or somethign like that and it has to do with the display so I'm guessing windows couldn't automatically fix it without restarting this time.
So my question is can you figure out if it is indeed a hardware problem and which part it is that I should send in to get replaced?

I've reinstalled the drivers from amd multiply times. . Different versions too to no avail. Even used guides on how to completely uninstall drivers too but nothing has helped. The computer worked perfectly like I said for the first five or six hours so idk then it just started coming up with this error and it got so bad I couldn't even try any fixes anymore. I also did three clean installs of windows 7

look for the latest firmware update for your ssd drive.. also from the sound of it you might of just got a bad video card it happens more often then not .. but depending on where you got it you should be able to exchange it i bought a sapphire 6850 once and had to return it because it was getting pixilization issues and blocking..
got a new one and none of those issues appeared

I would recommend a Corsair TX 550M. Modular psu's are more expensive though than non modular ones. It is out of stock at newegg but there is a 650M.

More Watt than needed though...
But good quality psu's
