Exactly. Pwede na iparma bro.

Naa koy favor dawaton bro. Pwede nimo tan-awon pilay Asic Quality sa imo gpu? You can get that by right-clicking the vc icon sa upper left corner sa gpu-z. Thanks.

ok mga sir i need ur help hehe, murag nakakuha jud kog defective graphics card or maybe lahi? bear with me mga master coz it is a long read...

Akong gpu sometimes pag startup naay white horizontal lines sa POST ug windows logo then dili sya maka boot into windows, then naay error recovery options mugawas like startup repair...pag iselect nako ang repair it will attempt to repair and then screen turns black then mu freeze sya dha lang kutob, so wala ko choice ireset nalang. After reseting, it MAY boot up without the lines and naay options to boot up in safe mode, start windows normally etc. etc. so i select normally and it really bootsup into windows just like it should be... OR the problem persists and reseting it again and again hoping that it will proceed creates another problem, ang motherboard muproduce ug 1 long beep and 3 short beeps and then screen displays nothing...reseting it again or turning it off/on will recreate those series of sequences hoping na maka lusot sya to windows.

My motherboard is an Asus H61M-E and upon troubleshooting the beep codes searching it online, it says i have a video card error or vram problem. Cleaning the gold plate sa gpu with an eraser and reseating the gpu sa mobo making sure it is really in place did nothing, the problem still persist intermittently.

Usahay pud naay error mugawas but inside windows interface na, the error is a "gpu driver version kernel error and it has recovered" something like that, katong mugawas sa notification area lower right corner of screen sa clock area...mugawas na sya na notification intermittently pag mag open ko ug apps then screen goes black then mubalik npud, also pag mag open ko ug 3d apps like say games while mugawas na sya intermittently, naay small artifacts mugawas pud but rarely ni sya nahitabo (twice lang ata) usually kausa ra mu notify ang error msg then wala na ok na dayun. Take note akong drivers are updated to the latest versions and gi reformat ko na sab ang OS hoping that it is my os ang corrupted.

On the positive side pud, pag maka boot into windows na sya, wala gyud sya problema smooth kaau ang performance, I can play latest games at max settings without any problems or fps slowdowns/hiccups...paspas kaau. Temperatures pud is reasonable 34-35 idle 60-78max pag under 99% load..so matingala gyud ko nganu ani man.

Im leaning towards defective gpu card and i.RMA ko unta ni siya but ask lang ko ninyu mga master coz basin pag abot dd2 dili mugawas ang problema.

My rig setup is this:

> intel i5 2320 @ stock clock (2years old never been oced)
> Asus H61M-E (1week old)
> 8gb crucial rams (3 months old)
> Palit GTX 680 Jetstream 2GB (8months old)
> 1TB 7200rpm WD HDD (2 months old)
> FSP Raider 650w 80+ silver (2 months old)

________________________________
recap:
> with horizontal lines @ startup (POST and windows logo)
> Asus motherboard produces 1 long beep 3 short beeps (signifies gpu card problem)
> "driver version kernel error" @ windows interface
> produce small and very few artifacts while running 3d apps (this rarely happened only twice)
All of this problems are INTERMITTENT, usahay naa usahay wala..

so thats it mga sir, pasensya taas taas gyud akong thread hehe gihatag ko lang ang tnan infos



these are the white lines...
i hope naa makatabang nako or basin naay similar nakasugat ani na probs.

Thanks in advance mga sir!

TS wla sad diay nimo sulayi ug ibot imong VC then onboard graphics lang imo gi gamit? sulayi daw TS kung ok cya w/ the built in graphics, kung ok man gali so wala jud laing pasanginlan imo jud VC ang naay problema.

Mas taas sya, mas gamay ug leak sa mga components so mas nindot. I thought lang nga basin niubos na ug ayo iyang Asic quality considering nga naa syay issue. Taas pa na sa akoa (79.8 ). Not sure lang how reliable it is.
