hi, i need help figuring out why i get these green screens with faint and wide white lines on my screen. my tech level of knowledge is average but this baffles me. i have added two new pieces of hardware i suspect may be cause this however to i broke my back and was in the hospital for two months. so not sure if it could be hardware or software.
so far this has only happened when im away from the computer. has not froze up and did this while playing a game or watchin a movie yet. I do have to note that my one pcie 1x is unusable cause it blocks cards due to the north bridge being so close and my x4 slot is being used for a ssd.
1. so i have 3 pcie x16/8 slots thats normaly for graphics but on the third slot i instaled a creative labs recon3d sound card into it even though the card only occupies the first little bit of the slot and the slot is i think ment for a pcie x8 card. this is the card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102041
2. also only 2 memory banks work on my motherboard wich is a gigbyte x58-ds socket 1366. this has never caused an issue but i bought new memory 2x 4gb gskill sniper. i do have my computer slihtly overclocked but not alot. and i have had it overclocked the same for years. the memory can run faster but im only running it at 1333 abouts.
one thing bout the memory that makes me wonder is on the package and on neweggs website it says this
Compatible with Intel LGA1155 and AMD Llano/AM3+ platforms
Intel XMP support for 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core Processors
so again more uncertainty. if someone could help me to resolve this issue it would be much appreciated.
oh and my graphics card wih is plugged into the first slot is a radeon 7850. i do have all the up to date drivers for sound card and have removed the drivers of the onboard sound
