1st time it happened was while playing a game
2nd time was playing starcraft 2
3-5th time was watching video or was idle...
Problem:
-Color Strips pop out on screen
-Monitor has no signal
-GPU fan is running loudly (like its running 100% speed) - D1601 light is on (overhating) but gpu temp was at 40-45 (idle)(65% fan speed)
What i've tried so far:
-Switch PCI slots
-Switch Ram slots
-Replaced DVI cables
-Replaced Monitors
-Replaced 6pin connectors
-Replaced HDD sata wires
-cmos bat reset
-cmos pin reset
-cleaned the fan
-reapplied thermal paste couple of times
-while able to login to windows:
* reinstalled ati drivers - cleaned registry and drivers
* event viewer seems to have nothing on it
* been to many forums but cant find a fix
more info:
