    GPU horizontal lines at login then freezes


    Hi,
    I am stumped here,need help to troubleshoot and finally arrive at a conclusion that what has to be done.

    Few weeks back during gaming I encountered horizontal lines ,immediately after that my computer froze and there's the start,problem still persists.

    Steps I took

    Reseated my card,removed dust(normal cleaning).

    Bought power supply tester Amazon.com: PC Computer 20/24 Pin Power Supply Tester With PSU ATX SATA HDD Connectors: Computers & Accessories
    but it seems to show that
    PSU graphic supply is working.

    Installed fresh windows again but still issue remains

    Did memory testing with windows memory diagnostic.


    Now if I unistall my graphic card drivers,card runs as VGA adapter with no issues (limited functionality can't run games) but as soon as I install drivers the next boot immediately at login horizontal lines appear and then followed by freezing.

    I ran my display on igpu ,everything seems to work fine all graphics n little bit of games n stuff.

    Now I am confused and need help ,should I think that my graphic card is dead or before coming to that conclusion I should apply thermal paste n try that option.
    I am also not sure somewhat power issue might be causing it but as stated above it was tested with at instrument and works fine. (Or do I need to check something else as well).

    It's definitely time for your GPU to be replaced because your HD 7850 is dead. Your PC will turn itself off when the PSU cannot give enough juice to power up the whole system.

What causes this and how can I fix it? Changing settings in ATI's Catalyst Control Center did nothing. It seems to only affect some shows sometimes, but it will be for the full 30 minutes, etc. P.S. The image has to be viewed at full size to see the lines. ...
This normally happens when I first start using the computer for the day. Sometimes when it happens there is a sound to it when it freezes but not always. Once the computer is going good for around 15-20mins then it no longer happens until the next reboot.
