Hi there. I'll keep it short. My screen gets colorful vertical lines while I'm playing heavy games on ultra like Shadow of Mordor, FC4, AC Unity etc.

Things I've done:


  • Tried using different displays of different resolutions
  • Tested every component of the PC
  • Tried using different power cables
  • Updated all drivers

Note:


  • I've UPS backup but it's a home UPS, not personalized one for my PC
  • Problem occurs even on WAPDA but I still get WAPDA through the UPS
  • Click on “My PC Specs” for the specifications of my PC
  • Happens only on heavy games

Here is a picture of my display when the problem occurs to make it more understandable. I've to restart my PC to make it functional again.

It seems your GPU is faulty. If your card is in warranty you might need to claim it.

I sent my PC back to the shop from where I bought it. They sent my PC to the Sapphire team due to my GPU's brand and they tested it completely.

They said my components aren't faulty at all so I don't think this should be the problem. And my GPU is still in warranty.

Are you using beta or stable release of updated driver?
Also have you tried reinstalling display driver?

i don't think so ups can cause that problem. try removing your card and use your pc without GPU. if it still shows lines then it's your led if not then it's your GPU.

It only shows lines when I'm gaming, it never showed lines while I'm watching movies, surfing the internet, Photoshopping or doing regular activities, only happens while gaming. And I'm afraid that it might be the GPU's fault because mostly gaming consumes GPU power.

I will also try to get rid off UPS for testing purposes. What do you think?

My GPU is in warranty. I think I'll have to claim it. Thanks everyone and I will mark this thread as SOLVED after replacing the GPU and see if the problem is fixed.

More input is still welcome.

The thing is if I claim my warranty, and I get a new GPU and still the problem occurs, then it'll be of no use. I will remove the UPS and do some testing to make it sure that the GPU is causing the problem.

The warranty still has few months left so I got some pretty much time on my hands. I don't wanna rush it. :)

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
