7950 Articfacting

[Profquast]

Hey everyone,

 

just now my barely one month old hd 7950 form Club 3D started artifacting with random red pixels all over the screen. The weird thing is it's mostly in pictures and youtube videos and not so much in games, although it's still present. It doesn't matter if the card is overclocked or not. Could this be a driver issue or is the card dieing?

What are your drivers? Have you been overclocking, if so, what are your settings and what tools are you using? What are the readings in terms of temperatures when using said programs?

 

Questions need to be answered.

A driver reinstall fixed the gpu load issue and wiggling some cables fixed the red pixels, so crisis averted ;p. I had only overclocked with Catalyst Control Center and no further than 1GHz so far, and this card should go at least a 100mHz further so that shouldn't be an issue.
