Graphics card :/

[Bamitz]

So a few weeks ago my graphics card messed up it corrupted my windows and so i reinstalled window then it happened again so I took my graphics card out and it worked so I taught it was the graphics card so i plugged it into a different system and it worked so I taught it was the motherboard is there anyway I can find out without buying anything? When it happens the system does boot on for about 5 - 10 mins then has a green and yellow lines across it thanks for reading My motherboard is a MSI FM2-A55M-E33 AMD FM2 Micro ATX Motherboard and my graphics card is a MSI 7850 Radeon HD 7850 1 GB PCI-E #35842 I've had the system since 2014 jan I was on windows 10 at the time of the first crash and when the others happend i was on 7.

The green & Yellow lines are a sure sign that the Graphics Card is dying. Have you overclocked it?

[Bamitz]

I don't think my graphics card was over-clocked because when i formatted my hard-drive it would of got rid of the over-clocking right? Sorry about no periods just woke up and have had no school in ages. Plus thanks for fast replies guys

[Bamitz]

definitely sounds like your card could be dying. Any sort of graphical glitch is the most likely the card .... or power to the card. If its working fine in another PC then there could be damage to the PCI slot or power issues being delivered to the card. Try putting the card in another PCI lane and see if that produces different results.

[Bamitz]

But i've put it in a difrrent system and it's working perfectly

[Shh]

The load may be different, the PSU might be different, the temps might be different. All in all @Tetters seems to be on the mark.

Poor person problems only 1 pci slot

Can't anyone help i think it must be the motherboard.

 if the card works well in another PC then it comes down to either the drivers (unlikely) or there is an issue with the PCI lane or motherboard. Have you tried another GPU in your PC? If not, give this a go as if that card artifacts or screws up, then its definitely a hardware issue with the motherboard in some way. Try a different card, that will help rule out motherboard / PCI issues for starters.

Problem is that i don't have a another one ,due to being poor, so i don't realy wanna pay anything if i would pay something it would be another motherboard. P.s both from uk yes

[Bamitz]

Update i have changed the motherboard cpu and ram still the same I have tried to use 4 bits of ram 4x2 my usual is 8x1 so i think it might be something to do with power because it works with 2 ram slots?
