Defective Card?
I have a visiontek Radeon HD4870 512mb. Ive had it over a month and every since ive had it i have had "ati display drivers have stopped responding but recovered" messages but now im getting black screens when i play games. My monitor will lose signal and then a few seconds later my computer reboots. Sometimes in games all the colors drain and the game and desktop are left in all gray.
I have tried numerous different ati drivers, have stopped overclocking my video card awhile ago, and logged my GPU temps with GPU-z. Never seen it go over 75c after hours of gaming(could sensors be wrong?).
Most of the time if i get a black screen or driver crash its in the first 5 mins of booting up the game. If i dont get it in the first 5 mins then i usually don't get it later on no matter how long i play, but the gray screen can happen anytime during games.
I am beyond stumped. I have made this same post on numerous different sites and have gotten no help. Even from the visiontek support forums and AMD forums.
