i need some help...

3 weeks ago i bought a HD 4870, when i play sro i get lines and stuff trough my screen and my pc freezes... i only get that with Sro and Cs:s i dont get this error with Tf2 and cod4 :S

so what could be the problem ?


my pc specs are

Motherboard: P5Q Pro
CPU: Q6600 2,4ghz
RAM: 4gb 800 mhz

Try turning V-Sync on
This should help about those "line things",dunno what can cause your pc to freeze

well i get line's when my pc freezes


and i already send the old back, and got the new card today

but it did the samething :S

Reminds me of the time I had a radeon 9600xt .. I had the same exact problem.. no ATi for me since then. Nvidia = foolproof

freezing usualy happens when your GFX card is getting overheat :p
I remember 1 of my friends who bought this video card or the 50 one , he said it works 80* from the start , no matter idle or not , maybe some drivers are ****ed up?

Its something wrong with your card, this card absolutely pwns i envy you owning it . It pwns 9800gt, even with SLI. I really dont know what to tell you besides send it back and tell them

could it be my ram ?

or my motherboard ?

Heat.

Looking at your hardware, do you have an additional system fan?

My guess is not, and I'm quite sure

hmm yes i do have a case fan...

and even when i put my Graphic card cooler to 100% it still crashes :S

The lines are probably artifacts.
-Overheating
-Not enough power
-Bad drivers
Take your pick.

freezing can be from overheating hardware, used to have freezing and weird glitches from overheating graphics card.
Is the tower on carpet or next to a wall by any chance? could be why its playing up.
