So, yesterday I did a last test run of my HD7850:

> Reinstalling (into case)
> Swapping out cables
> Trying a different port on the card
> Trying a different port on my monitor
> Starting through safe mode uninstalling the card, then restarting normally
> Even uninstalling programs I felt may be interfering with the card

Problem persisted.

A brief explanation of what takes place (in case some of you have experienced this before):

1. PC starts up
2. Loads up past POST
3. Loads "Loading Windows" screen
4. Takes longer that normally booting into Windows
5. Eventually loads "Welcome" screen, but, horizontal pixelated lines across certain areas of the screen.
5. Cuts to a 'Windows Blue/Black' screen, not BSOD
6. Idles

I remove the card, use onboard (on CPU) graphics chip:

1. Windows booting is normal
2. Loading into Windows is normal
3. Everything works

I inserted my old 8800GT, and it worked for around 10 mins before crapping out. Baring in mind, the card was screaming.
I did not expect it to work, thb.

My best deduction so far is:

The PCI-E slot is faulty
The card is faulty

I intend to bring it in to work tomorrow to have it checked. That is my last resort.

technically a slot cant actually go faulty its just a piece of plastic with metal connectors, sometimes dust might go in there or due to mobo flexing the board might develop hairline cracks and the copper connections inside the mobo breaks down.

Getting on a plane tomorrow as it's my sisters wedding this weekend. I'll be in the Middelburg/Pretoria area until next week Tuesday, then coming back to Cape Town. The plans then are simple; Wednesday is Forza 6 day, so there will be Forza played from early in the morning to very late at night. Thursday is braai day, so we start the braai at 8 in the morning, have a good breakfast braai then we are going to a braai on the beach. The weekend will be spent with a house full of girls coming to visit, so there will be plenty of wine and plenty of dancing.

[MENTION=9789]DieGrootHammer[/MENTION] en [MENTION=2530]Wyvern[/MENTION] Ahh wow dit lyk amazing! Sou dit gelove het. Trek ongelukkig oor 'n week en baby is due in so 4 weeke. So dink dis dalk 'n goeie idee om so naby aan die hospitaal te wees as moontlik !
