Something's Wrong

So lately my video card has been doing strange things. 1st it was the weird line artifacts on chrome and now the drivers have just been repeatedly crashing. I re installed the drivers and that problem appears to be gone now. Now i'm having a slightly worse problem where my screen freezes and then goes black. When that happens my video card fans spin to 100% and i have to restart my PC to fix it. This has happened twice now. I've tried a few different drivers and it hasn't helped much. 

 

Is my video card dying? :(

I am with brownninja97, RMA it, it is showing signs of death,

Did you do a complete uninstall of the drivers I.E. ran Driver Sweeper? If that doesn't help try reseating the card in the PCIe slot and check the power cables. And if you have any overclocking programs  installed, uninstall them.

 

If nothing of this works, the card is dying and you should RMA it if possible.

Nothing bad seems to have happened since wiping the drivers and reseating the card. When the problems did occur they weren't consistent and i don't know what triggers them so i will keep my eye out for now.

Sometimes the card wouldn't respond after entering it's low power state as the monitor wouldn't turn back on after i moved the mouse. It will now occasionally just restart the PC. Sounds like i'm defiantly going to have to RMA

Are you using HDMI cables? if so where did you get them from. Some cheap HDMI's cant properly carry the "flag" that the pc wants the monitor to wake up.

You could also try re-installing your OS.

Might want to check your Bios on the card...MSI AfterBurner can tell you the version....Google how to update Bios and good luck.  Also check here for specific issues with the 7870..good luck.
