Post by hootis »

not sure if this is the right forum topic or site to talk but recently my 5870 was displaying random colors on the screen when booting but after several failed attempts to fix this i read today on toms hardware that this is a real problem :) or not idk but just after reading this i go to amd.com and Firefox repeatedly crashed due to the 3d on their site this happens with you tube and other sites as well this is on my 4870... is any1 else having these problems
EDIT: this happens litterly 30seonds after finishing reading the article wtf this whole thing was about 2 mins ago, defently not win update (sorry for crap spelling)
Things yet to materialize.

Return the 5870 to the manufacturer and get a replacement.

You should check your entire machine ... something more important must be dying (PSU, motherboard or main memory for instance).
