hey guys, so basically I bought a brand new HD 7850oc by gigabyte.
Installed it in my system, formatted my HDD and installed a fresh Windows 7 64bit.
anyway, everything was okay, tested my games and they all looked and felt great.
I used GPU-Z to check the specification and it is Core clock 975/ Memory clock 1200.
on desktop it was running on 300/150 if i remember correctly and in games at its max.
temperature was 28c and it games after 2-3 hours about 31c. well it was great.
in the 2nd day though, i faced a crash while on desktop, after restart I checked GPU-z and on idle or in desktop core clock was at 975 and memory clock at 1200 and temperature on idel was at 55-57.
i didnt think much of it but as soon as i opened up chrome my computer crashed, after restart the same thing happened. total of 3 time.
I removed the VGA and im using the onboard now. its all good.
what do you think the issue is? I'm thinking its my processor but everything is pointing at the GPU. maybe its faulty or something.
System Specs:
AMD Phenomx3 8450 2.1ghz
GA-MA78G-DS3H
6GB DDR2 1033mhz
1x 250GB HDD
3x 500GB HDD
1x 1TB HDD
600w psu
Gigabyte 7850oc - GV-R785OC-2GD
I know my bios is fine and i dont need an update since it was working perfectly.
Core Temp says my CPU temp is 72c which i think is high. But no crashes since i removed the HD7850.
