• Computer screen messes up after prolonged gaming
    5 replies, posted
My screen will go black after playing games for a bit. But not completely black, sometimes it will have white/blue lines going up and down all across the screen and I can't do anything. I just crashed to dark/gray lines going up and down across the screen. I'm going to assume it's my GPU, I have a 5850. I know ATI isn't the best driver coder around, so it might be that. But it also might be overheating of my GPU. What would be a good fan speed to set to in CCC if that is the issue? Thanks for the help.
Well aperantly you already know the answer. Update drivers, clean out dust, and get better cooling.
Sounds like overheating to me. A pic will help

Ugh, i get a somewhat the same problem with my 5770 on Windows 7, it appears to be a driver problem and ATI claims to be working on it.
