andrewdonshik Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 So, recently, my graphics card died. Ever since, the computer will occasionally freeze up while playing a game, be it dota or minecraft. Now, this isn't any freeze. Artifacts will appear on the screen, and random noise will play through the speakers. I originally attributed this to my integrated graphics, and since I was going to buy it anyway, I bought myself a xfx radeon 6670. However, nothing has changed. I can verify it is not overheating, because it happens even when I blow a house fan into the computer. I replaced the PSU, and the graphics, and this was even happening when I had a different CPU and mobo. Does anyone know a way to fix this? I can provide a video if necessary. Quote
okamikk Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 check for dust, and also try direct cooling on your graphics card(e.g water cooling) Quote
Torezu Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 This is usually a sign that DirectX or a graphics card driver is out of date. This can often be the case even when you installed the drivers that came with the card. I suggest a review of the current and available versions of your driver package, and any old versions that may still be resident on your computer. Quote
