    is this a gpu problem?

    right, ive had a problem for overa month now where my pc would randomly die producing many grey lines on the screen, it then started bsod twio times and then bk to the lines, this was infrequent and happened radomly like 1 every 5 days or somethin silly like that.
    Now i havent had a problem for awhile like a week or two but it came bk last night while i played age 3 with my mates over skype, game crashed sounds went for 1 second then screen went bright orange however the sound came bk and i was still talkin to my mates and hearun them over skype but couldnt do anythin due to the orange display.


    Any ideas what this is? im thinkin gpu but i checked right at the time of problem if it wass hot and it was feelin lik 50/60C so not hot at all.

    Sounds maybe like the gpu ram. Have you tried underclocking at all?

    try running ATItool or furmark for 20-30 minutes if you dont get any problems I would update to the 10.1 or 10.1 hotfix drivers but then again 10.2 should be out soon so maybe wait for them
