Hello. Installed Sapphire ATI 5670 video card. When used on game black lines appear from a central point. Can still play game. Videos played from that point on dashed interference type lines. Suggestions? thanks

Hello and welcome to the forums
Do a clean reinstall if your VGA driver,here is how:
1_Download and install "Driver Sweeper" from here:
http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/
2_Remove the current driver from add/remove programs and restart and boot to safe mode.
In safe mode and open Driver Sweeper,choose ATI and click remove.
3_Restart and boot normally to windows and install the driver again,after the installation restart the PC and see if it works then or not

Didn't work same problem. Could it be the power supply? (350w). Only occurs under load then need to rebootbut.

"400 Watt or greater power supply recommended (500 Watt for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)"
So it maybe your PSU.

Reduced GPU clock to 700 and it seems to work! A developing problem?
