Graphical Issues On Start Up
Hi guys. I have a feeling my GPU is dead but thought i'd double check all bases. My GPU was working fine last night and has been for about 2 years or so now. This morning when i turned my PC on, i noticed i saw random artifacts on the screen and, when it got to Windows login, i noticed vertical red lines on the middle of the screen. I reset my PC and switched to onboard graphics and uninstalled my AMD driver and installed the latest.
When i switched back to the AMD GPU, i was browsing normally and all of a sudden my screen changed to like a black and white static page which i couldn't click out of. I'm currently using my Intel integrated graphics which there is no issue with.
Is my GPU dead? Its a AMD HD 7970 Lightning.
Many thanks for any help
Anthony
