    Please help identifying if video card or PSU is faulty

    Well, started having problems again. After some days with the computer working flawlessy with the new PSU (Corsair TX650), I've got the same problem. This time I could take a picture with my cell phone of that is happening, while driving on iRacing (a great racing simulator). Uploaded...

    Successor or potential successors to LCDs?

    Well, the colors on Galaxy SII are quite artificial since they are forced to be stronger than it should, but it's due to Samsung implementation of Android, and not due to a display fault. Some expert guys could get the display configuration files, and prove this fact. Nevertheless, a very...

    Well, I did that as first measure. I was already running latest drivers, and as I described, downloaded them all again and reinstalled to ensure there was no corrupt file.

    Please help identifying if video card or PSU is faulty

    Took off the 4850, installed the intel hd drivers and did some 3dmark 06 runs.... 100% stable. Put the 4850 back, tried 3dmark 06, couldn't finish the first test. Sometimes, after locking (almost all times with those squares), the driver could recover the computer from freeze, and show on...

    Please help identifying if video card or PSU is faulty

    Nice idea, will try that, but I know that the on-board video do not demand so much energy from PSU as the discrete card by far, so I don't know if it will stress the PSU enough to ensure it's ok.

    Please help identifying if video card or PSU is faulty

    Hi all, I've been running my PC after an upgrade for 2 months (changed CPU, mobo and memory, but kept the video card, psu and hdd). Today it started to show an error and lockups: After some minutes running a 3d application, it appears on screen some artifacts in shape of squares on a...
