ATI Radeon HD 5750 crashing help
Right so when playing games my pc freezes sometimes the screen goes black sometimes white sometimes beige with vertical lines filling the screen.
I can sometimes get it unfrozen by ctrl-alt-del and go to task manager and shut down the game but most times I have to manually turn it of via the power switch.
The freezes happen when playing a various selection of games, examples include GTA4, Race Driver: Grid, cod4, cod6, F1 2010, Dirt 2 and crysis 2.
My pc has no problems running anything else like iTunes and video converters etc just when gaming.
I can rule out most problems people think it might be:
-it cant be the power supply as my brother has exactly the same power supply and is running a more powerful graphics card (5770) with no problems what so ever.
-it cant be a dodge board as I have changed boards from a micro atx to a normal atx designed for ATI cards
-it cant be the processor as I have changed from a Intel pentium E5200 to a Q6600 and have cooled both with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 heat sink
-I doubt its getting to hot as I have changed from a £30 case to an antec 900 2 gaming case with 6 fans installed (high quality fans)
-I used to use a 9400GT and had no problems with it but it lacked power for performance gaming so upgraded it to the 5750
Im thinking its a problem with the card and was wondering if anyone know's why it does this
Thanks in advance
