  1. Video card imminent death....suggestions for a mid-range replacement?

    Well, bro was using his comp for hours this morning doing various things and all seems well...no issues at all, but it's done this once or twice in the past on and off, so it's possible it could come back....this time was the worst so far though. However, as it stands right now...all is well! :)
  2. Video card imminent death....suggestions for a mid-range replacement?

    Go for it man....installed the drivers, minus CCC....bro's got it hooked back up and using it now, about to watch some long (~45mins) Youtube vids...we'll see what happens by tomorrow.
  3. Video card imminent death....suggestions for a mid-range replacement?

    Sorry for another Double-Post, but you don't think I should install CCC EliteRetard? I'm tempted to put it all back on driver-wise and try it regardless, as without CCC it's harder to set up dual displays, etc...(sometimes he hooks his desktop up to the flatscreen TV to watch movies, etc.)
  4. Video card imminent death....suggestions for a mid-range replacement?

    Yup, you're remembering wrong, haha! The shroud is mounted to the heatsink by like 8 or so screws and to take the shroud off, I would have to take the heatsink off first. I took the card out and carefully cleaned any extraneous dust out with toothpicks as I have no canned air atm. I also used...
  5. Video card imminent death....suggestions for a mid-range replacement?

    I'm running the usual malware scans and running updates for everything atm to make sure nothing else would be causing the issue first (I had read somewhere this issue can sometimes be caused by something to do with the MS .NET 4 Framework and the Catalyst Control Center. When I come back in...
  6. Video card imminent death....suggestions for a mid-range replacement?

    Oh, he won't be doing any overclocking, lol...he's not THAT computer-savvy, haha! I've checked his machine, his current card is actually a HD4870, NOT a HD4850. The heatsink looks quite capable at a glance, and seems to cover anything - RAM, GPU, etc. I'll do some testing to see if I can figure...
  7. Video card imminent death....suggestions for a mid-range replacement?

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys...I'll check his current card first tonight, maybe try and give it a proper cleaning as I do have some paste laying around. As for the 270, I'll look into it more deeply. The store I prefer online is NCIX as I've had nothing but exemplary service from them...
  8. Video card imminent death....suggestions for a mid-range replacement?

    Sorry for the double-post, but to comment on your post SPBHM - I've tried updating Flash and the Vid drivers, but I didn't try disabling hardware acceleration. The card worked fine with Flash before, so it would make no sense to me for problems to arise between the two now unless something was...
  9. Video card imminent death....suggestions for a mid-range replacement?

    Thanks Arkaign! Your thoughts pretty much agreed with what I've been thinking. I probably won't bother trying the canned air trick as I doubt it's really worth it at this point. Bro bought the machine used from a close friend of both of us and has had it since about mid last year, but our...
  10. Video card imminent death....suggestions for a mid-range replacement?

    Hi all....learned this morning that my brother's older HD4850 is on it's way out...I can hear the fan dying and it BSODs even when playing Youtube videos. I know it's not just the drivers as I've used a removal / cleaning tool to completely remove them and update them to the latest possible and...
  11. Does anyone still get the AMD 7xxx bug where your monitor doesn't wake up from sleep?

    Unfortunately it's an older monitor and I don't have the funds to upgrade at the moment, so I'm stick with the bug for now...thanks anyway though!
  12. Does anyone still get the AMD 7xxx bug where your monitor doesn't wake up from sleep?

    Hi Richie, thanks for the suggestion - my monitor is VGA into the card through a DVI adapter...I've actually tried unplugging and plugging it back in and it doesn't help for me, I still have to hard reset :( I have no overclocking of any type on my machine, all stock speeds for everything...
  13. Does anyone still get the AMD 7xxx bug where your monitor doesn't wake up from sleep?

    Agreed - I changed the Link state to off and it seemed to help a bit, but after a day or two, it was back to (usually) locking to the point I have to do a hard restart....very frustrating. I have sleep turned off for now, but that relies on me constantly remembering to turn off my monitor every...
  14. Does anyone still get the AMD 7xxx bug where your monitor doesn't wake up from sleep?

    Same issue here. I've been having it for months with different Catalyst driver versions with my HD7850. It seemed (mostly) gone with the last driver update, but with 13.12, it's back and worse (I used to be able to Ctrl-Alt-Del out of it, but now I have to hard restart...) Does the Link State...
  15. ASUS Radeon HD7850 Monitor Sleep Issue

    I usually do as well, but there are those times you have to rush off somewhere and you forget! :P I didn't remember there were separate settings in CCC aside from Windows, maybe I'll take a look at that, but I doubt I'll find a fix....a quick Google search showed a lot of people with this issue...
