Graphic issues.

So for the past 4 months i've been getting these really weird graphic errors. My computer freezes but I can still talk to people in skype even though the screen is grey; there's little white lines also. My 7950 might be to blame but it's still working as it was when I got it. I have no idea what's wrong or anything. It was overclocked but the issue got worse when I did that; now it's at stock. Any ideas?

Swap out the graphics card, if nothing try the monitor. You may find out what the cause of the issue is, if there is nothing you could need driver updates

The display interface on your card could be the issue, have you tried using say a vga/display port/hdmi/dvi-(i/d)? Also uninstall and re-install your graphics drivers.

A overclock that isn't stable generally causes your screen to artifact rather than to cause issues like blue screen unless its totally dead or overclocked to far.

My 6770 had the same issue for a while until I reinstalled windows, soooooo...

 

... Is a reinstall an option?

Well im using a not so legit version right now. I mean i'd lose all my stuff I have. Maybe, but there's gotta be something doing it. If my driver has corrupted could that cause it?

also are you currently using the 7950 oc'd? have you tried using stock settings

IM SORRY. DON'T HATE ME PLEASE, MY DVI IS BROKEN ;-;-;-;-;-;. I maxxed the sliders when I got it because some guy said it would work, and it did until it grey screen every 10 minutes and I had to restart every time so I made a stable one which worked for a week until it did it again so I put it stock and it only does it if I'm using a game that needs something beefy to run. But CoD ghosts doesnt take a beefy pc to run it xD

DONT MAKE ME MAIL YOU CABLES

lol cod could run on an atari :P

 

so to the problem at hand. the issue could reside in three areas

1) the 7950

2) craptastic vga cable or the dvi convertor

3) the monitor

 

does your motherboard have hdmi out for the onboard graphics? and have you access to a hdmi cable?

I know my cable is on it's way out but I couldn't see why I need to restart my computer if it is. Also it happened on my 6870 too and I have the cable and hdmi thing but I couldn't run games to test that becaue hd 4000 xD

You could partition the drive, move your files over to the second partition, reinstall windows on the first partition, and then move the files back.

My bad i thought you had fixed this or strangled your self with the VGA cable

 

here is a link to copy's of windows http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325/

 

Note : these are legitimate versions which will only give you 30 days to trial them, unless you enter your k3y
