Hello,
This is my first time creating a thread.
So black square artifacts (many 5x5mm black squares, if i try to click on them they disappear) appear on my screen while browsing the web or watching a video f.e. on youtube after about 10 secs. While gaming or watching a movie (i use VLC) it only happens if the squares have already appered before.
Also if i watch a video for a long time on the internet usually the screen freezes and goes black for couple seconds and a box pops up from Catalyst saying: "Display driver AMD has stopped responding and has recovered".
Rarely i get the BSOD with problem regarding Video scheduler, i don't remember exactly....
My specs:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Mobo: Gigabyte z68ap-d3
CPU: i5 2400 3.10 GHZ
GPU: Gigabyte HD6870 1GB (GV-R687OC-1GD)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA3
RAM: DDR3 6 GB 1333 MHZ
PSU: Gigabyte GE-R460-V1 (460W) -> Corsair TX750 v2
After reading through threads like this in the past, i thought maybe my PSU was weak so i got a Corsair tx750, but it didn't solve this problem.
Tried re-installing Windows 7 and the drivers too but that didn't help either.
I ordered my graphic card from a website and i sent it back to them to get a new one, but they tested it and they said it worked perfectly so i couldn't get a new card. While the HD6870 was being tested for a week, i had to use my old graphic card (Geforce 9600 GT) and then i haven't encountered the black square artifact problem...
Please try to help me, i don't know what to try next...
