Hello, I recently bought ASUS Radeon HD 7850 and I'd like to ask for some opinions and information.
So first I uninstaled old drivers plug in new card and install new drivers. I went playing a game and after few minutes my whole screen when grey with some weird lines. I restarted the PC and there was some graphical snowflakes that started to appear over the screen untill it was barely anything wisible, and it eneded up with a blue lined picture, same as grey one before only this time it was light blue.
I then returned my old card and everything worked fine as before, then tried HD 7850 again and same thing accured. First I thought I installed drivers wrong or something. But this time it didn't even let me install the drivers as snowflakes started to appear while downloading the new driver and then it all ended up with the blue-lined picture, I can upload one if anyone wants to see how it looked like. Also this graphical glitches only acures AFTER the "loading windows" screen. When it should of show up the Account Login screen. Either it shows up and completly bugs out after I log in or it does it right away before I even login in to my account.
Anyways, it seems like GPU might of come with defection OR perhaps my motherboard or isn't supporting it or my PSU isn't strong enough?
Here are my system specifications:
Motherboard: MSI X58 Pro-E (MS-7522)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Memory: 18GB RAM
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 5870
Monitor: AOC - Generic PnP Monitor 1680x1050 resolution
Computer Case CoolerMaster Intros HAF 922 Mid-Tower Chassis
Power Supply Unit - 550W (LC5550 v2.2)
I've read on offical site that 500W PSU is recommanded or higher, it's a bit on edge but still I think it could be enough or is it? I don't have any other PC's to test it on there as well so, I'm also thinking to just ship it back to the store and they can test it themselfs, but I wanna be sure first if it wasn't actually my PC components not compatible with the GPU. Any help you guys could provide I'd really appreciate it. If any more info needed just let me know.
Cheers
P.S. Here's the link of where I bought the card from http://www.enaa.com/oddelki/racunalnistvo/izd_206_etav3evrqtxv_asus_graficna_kartica_hd_7850__2gb#
