Highly probable its a driver fault. Go to the 10.5 Radeon drivers, and let us know. Make absolutely sure that 10.5 is actually the driver being used once installed. Use GPU-Z, CCC to verify the versions.

10.4, best one, no errors, 10.8 is stable but honestly, 10.4 is the best this year.

is the card getting enough power? What psu are you running it on?

Corsair 650TX is mentioned in his signature if you paid attention which is more than enough :)
 
Paid attention still couldnt make out with all the colors! The yellow being the hardesst to read. :(
 
I'd say avoid all the BIOS flashing hassles if you are not familiar with it and get it RMA'd from Rashi. If by any chance, the card works on their system without the symptoms, you will have to do a detailed diagnosing of your other system components and do a BIOS flash if needed.

Haha well said! :lol:
 
Sorry Guyz,

As I told I cant start my pc without a external gpu since mine doesnt hav onboard...

Anyways,

I have sent the card to Rashi for RMA....

Dont know when I will get back..whenever I call them up...the same reply..." sir 4-5 days more...its under processing "

drangon hunter sir-

Please understand that when starting a query in the technical section, please refrain from taking the name of the seller.

Though not necessary while troubleshooting your issue, you may say it was bought recently and a used one from someone on TE (most regular members would know the person anyways).

But without ascertaining the exact nature of the problem at your end and the cause, mentioning name in the very first post is highly undesairable imho.

It may malign his/her reputation or at least cast a shadow of doubt on him/her having sold a faulty product in the minds of others, even if such a doubt may or may not exist at your end.

Coming to the issue at hand,

- As mentioned by many already, ATI 5xxx cards and driver issues with win7 are not uncommon.

Most have found an older version, depsnding on model, to work better than the latest version iirc.

I have heard of grey screen. Can you please post a picture of the violet screen?

- Please check if your motherboard BIOS is up to date too.

- Also do check if the card is seated properly in the slot and the power connectors are properly inserted.

(The card should slot in freely and flush with the back of the case, without having to be pushed to hard.

One may need to loosen the mobo screws and tighten after re-alignment if mobo is too close or too far from the back of the case.

While pushing in the PCIe power connector, it's usually better to grab the bunch of wires that exit the connector instead of the connector itself.)

Can you please post a picture of your case internals with the side panel removed? :)

MY XFX HD5850 was having a similar issue, it was showing gray striped screen in games, first thought of it as a software issue, turned out to be hardware issue caused when I ran kombustor maxed out to stress the card, rma'd the card and everything is absolutely fine. In my case rma took 3 weeks(akshay enterprises, not rashi). Hopefully you'll have no issues after the rma, and never run any power viruses like furmark, xfx cards lack the build quality to run furmark stable.in this kind of high ambient.
 
I had heard-
- Furmark doesn't work very well with ATi cards ( or was it Nvidia?). :ashamed:
- if run for too long, it may actually damage the card
- It's more like an overstress test than a stress test.
Some review had reported different TDPs for the cards tested, one with 3D Mark and one with Furmark, the latter being significantly higher iirc.

So is it safe or proper to use Furmark for testing graphics cards for an end-user?

I am so chicken, i still use RTHDRIBL for most entry-levela nd midrange graphics cards, that too in windowed mode as i use 1920x1200 for desktop use (unless the card is really beefy enough to handle that). :ashamed:

Furmark is a power virus and nothing else, in every game there's different stages of processing the data that puts a modest stress on gpus, enter furmark, furmak only stresses the gpu using the computation stage, which draws more power through the vrms than even crysis ever will, so there's a chance that it might damage the card, specially the vrms, know that furmark does not stress the vrams, if you have a nVidia card look into memory load and consumption in furmark you'll be surprized, its way lower than games(max 125mb), so even you stress the card with furmark it can fail in games due to memory stress, the best way to stress GPU is to play games, games like crysis, metro 2033, mafia 2(just found that it pushes my mem temps to 90c), starcraft 2 is best for gpu tests, just fire up the games and play for about 30mins, if its rock stable then your card is ok, and know this indian climates are not suitable for oc'ing(unless you live in the northern hill regions), with 35c ambient even stock cards can fail.

Thank you tkin sir. :)

But very difficult to read that.

Can you please use proper punctuation/formatting?

Also do post any link/s to the source of your information. :)
