I returned my PC to PCS a few weeks ago with a loss of signal, which was diagnosed as a dead GPU. just over a week ago, I got my computer back with a new HD7970 installed.
for the first few days, everything seemed to be going well, but then I started experiencing display issues again. without warning, I would get vertical lines of alternating colour on my screen, like this:
each time the lines appear, they are different colours. I am also getting all white/all black screens as well, which as with the lines, appear without warning, and can either appear a few seconds after I turn my computer on, while I am gaming, or with the system just idling.
the only thing I can do when this happens, is reset my system, losing everything I was working on up until the point of it crashing.
right now, it is happening about 2-3 times a day and I don't know if it is driver related, or another hardware issue.
what is the most likely cause?
I am using the latest AMD drivers.
