Eventually my pc would restart and when it would reboot the resolution would be all messed up and the drivers for the card would have to be re-installed in order for things to go back to normal. I was worried but surely it couldnt be my 4 month old graphics card that was causing problems. Thought it was just a software issue so i downloaded the latest drivers and installed them. Worked fine for like a day or two and then i began to get artifacts and lines all over the...Read more
