Desktop screen suddenly turns white while running

[eudorajjj]

Hi guys, I bought a new mbx and ram a fortnight ago. The reason why I decided to change my mbx and rams is because of the fault I have been experiencing. Apparently after changing both parts I have bought, the problem still exist.

My screen turns white while I was running YouTube. When I want to access to my football manager game, it hangs. I was wondering if the fault lies on the graphics card. My graphics card is 3 years old now. Previously whEn my mbx is still warranty, the technicians told me is my Mbx failure and I manage to get a warranty exchange. So that time when the problem surfaced again, I was quick to assume that it could be my Mbx giving me this fault again. So I decided to buy a new mbx. But now I facing the same old problem again. Guys, I really need some help here as I am spending too many worthless money here and there already. Could it be my graphics card or rather OS issue? Thank you so much for your help and advise. I really appreciate you guys could help me

By the way guys, my mbx model is Asus p8z77-v lx

Remove the graphic card and use the onboard video. If this problem goes away, it's either your graphic card or driver issue.

Thank you sir, I will try doing that now

 

[eudorajjj]

Sorry for asking this, what if the problem is the driver issue? How can I go about doing it?

 

[peterchan75]

No need to say sorry. It could be the graphic driver is corrupted. Download the latest driver from graphic card manufacturer's website.

Likely your 3 year old vga card is going up lorry.

Thanks all for your generous feedback. I have tried taking out my graphics card and using the one on board. I run Youtube for 15 min and it works well. I currently trying to install the new drivers for it and see if the problem remains. However, I got some issue here. I am not very sure which links I should download or specifically which one I should install. Could someone assist on that aspect? Really sorry about that. Below are the spec of my current desktop:

Processor
i5-3470
Mainboard
ASUS P8z77-V LX
Graphics Card
SAPPHIRE HD 5850 Xtreme 1GB GDDR5
Memory
Kingston PC 12800/1600MHZ DDR3 CL10 VALUE RAM 4GB
Display
LG 23"
Storage
WESTERN DIGITAL 465GB
Casing
Cooler Master
PSU
Andyson 530W
OS
Windows 7 HOME 32bits

However, my OS I still have not activate yet as I directly borrow it from some other people. Should I get a proper OS of my own with my very own activation number?

try this...AMD Catalyst 13.10 BETA2 (13.200.11.0 September 20) Download

HD5850 is a 2-generation ago card, so high chance is the card going up lorry.

Thank you guys for your valuable input. I really appreciate that help a lot.

Assuming I want to get a new graphics card, any brands or models to recommend? By the way, the type of games I play are not very high-end. I usually play Football manager and NBA 2k.

In addition to that, I have another 4gb ram with me. But i didn't use that as most sources suggested that it does not operates well in 32bit system. Is that true? Should I get a 64 bit OS instead?

Thank you.

It's a fixed limitation in 32-bit OS. You'll get at most 3.5GB-ish max of usable RAM no matter the amount you have installed. The only way forward to use all available RAM is to move on to 64-bit.

Went from 3.31GB to 7.98GB usable RAM on my school laptop with 8GB installed after switching to 64-bit

Your budget??

Those games just need a 7750 or 7770. Green camp is gtx650 or gtx650ti will do.

Range from $122 to $190

 

[eudorajjj]

Your budget??

Maybe at the range of $150++

Hi people, for graphics card I am thinking of getting ASUS one. For GTX 650, there's O.C DDR 5, TOP DDR5, TI O.C DDR5 and TI BOOST DCII. I would like to know what's the difference among these few? If I getting one for my desktop, any advise? Thanks guys!
