Can someone please help me with my problem? What is the difference between Omega and Catalyst 15.4 ? I just want to install the newest driver for my AMD Radeon HD 7850 Series. Also, when I installed my old driver again, it talked about no signature for a kernel driver file and an audio driver file. Is that bad? Driver installed anyway, and seems to be working for now. I think my GPU died on me, or is dying. It crashed during a game. Whole PC did. Restart gave a bluescreen with some .sys file broken. So I went safe-mode, and used Display Driver Uninstaller, now I can go normal start again. Thing is, I see stripes. They are in the background, though strangely enough not on the website at all. But on the grey of the browser menu, and on my desktop, and on the menu for safe mode etc. And on the startup screen. I fear my graphics card is dead or fried, not sure how to tell. Should I make a system restore, or install the drivers again? Was it a mistake that I installed the driver again after installing it once already (because of the no-signature I restarted into the mode where signature is overridden) and all. If I have to get a new Graphics Card, any recommendations? Should be Vista-Compatible. Are there any better ones out there than my HD 7850? I am not experienced with coolant, so it should be one that runs cool by itself. This one never seemed to have heat problems until now, if this is a heat related problem at all. Here's some error logs I could dig up. (in german :x) I made some images of my graphics card, which I opened to look if it fried up or anything. But I am not sure if it is meant to look this way or not on the inside. Spoilered images to prevent this to be too big of a post. Allright, this should be enough for any expert to tell me what's wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.
