My video card has been causing a problem with my computer where the red light at the back of the video card will go on and my screen will go blank dark which forces me to hard restart my computer. It will happen randomly when I am in a game and the screen will go blank and the red light goes on.
My specs:
CPU - Intel Core i5 760
RAM - Ripjaws 4gb
Motherboard - MSI P55A-G55
Video Card: ATI Radeon 4850 HD
Power Supply: 850w
I cleaned the fan, I have an external home use fan on it with my case open and it keeps on happening. I touched the card after it happens and its not hot at all.. The heatsink is working and I did a stress test on my video card and the max temp it goes is 71 degrees Celsius, which is pretty normal someone told me.
Is it still under warranty?
If not I would remove the heatsink and redo the thermal paste, something on the card is getting hot, if that does nothing replace the card.
