Locale ID 2057 - Grey screen of death aswell
I have been having the grey screen of death ( also some other random colours with stripes, but the grey screen with coloured stripes is the most frequent) since May of this year. (I built the system in May)
Solutions that I have tried and failed:
1.) Install latest ati drivers
2.) Test my RAM with MemTest and Windiag
3.) Flash my motherboard bios to the latest version
4.) Installed all latest gigabyte drivers and chipsets
5.) RMA'ing my card, but "Overclockers" said its not faulty
One solution that did work, was to put another Grahics Card, a ASUS GeForce GT220. This card worked fine in my system. But its not good enough for games!
What I did now, was reinstall windows. My plan was to not install anything apart from internet security( Commodo is what I am using), a few non essential programs and of course windows update.
I did not install anything to do with ATI. Now I was on youtube, the sound of my hardrive started making noise, as if I was running some sort of virus scan, which I was not. Then my screen went black for a couple of seconds then windows recovered. I got the following error message from action centre:
