BIOS spelling errors and bad screen colors

[Borat]

Hey yall.

I'm in safe mode right now because I have a problem. Just today my computer wouldn't boot in normal mode. It started when I was playing a game and my screen all of a sudden started flickering. Like it would divide in half and if I were to move my mouse all the way to the right it would appear on the left (lol wtf)!

Hard rested the rig after the aforementioned and now I can't even boot into normal mode because I can't get past login screen w/o the display turning baby blue.

Also, the bios letters are messed up. Like the voltages would have special characters in them.

I took out the video card and used onboard hd3000 to get display. The bios errors and bad screen colors went away but I can't get into normal windows still because I think the HD 6970 drivers are not compatible with the INTEGRATED HD3000 series (atihdw76.sys bsod to be specific).

So I'm basically shot in both feet.

I want to know if it could be anything else but the hd6970 (i'm rma-ing it) to blame because I highly doubt it's the mobo. I would also want to know what the hell would cause spelling errors in bios.

GPU: HD6970
Mobo: 790GX

The spelling thing means each a cheap BIOS cheap motherboard.

What mobo is that 790 on ? upgrade the BIOS might fix the spelling errors or incoroporate office into the BIOS>

Spelling errors is usually a sign of poor education. Take your bios to school or get a private tutor.

Can you boot into safe mode?

Can you boot into safe mode?

"Hey yall.

I'm in safe mode right now because I have a problem."

OP: While in safe mode, uninstall the AMD drivers. This should allow you to boot back into normal mode. Assuming it is an incompatibility between the current drivers and the integrated video.

LOL! I blame it on tapatalk. OP, this will work. You will be able to boot back into normal mode and install the integrated video drivers.

I have had something like this happen to one of my old video cards. I think it was a 7800GT. I had all kinds of weird graphical artifacts on the screen. I exchanged the card and everything was fine.

It also happened to an even older card. A ti-4800. I overclocked the hell out of that card though and destroyed it. It was doing the same graphical artifacting thing though before it died.

Did you overclock the card at all?
