6950 2Go : green and yellow dots after a few minutes of play

Hi,
I bought a radeon hd 6950 a few days ago. I didn't have any problem playing GTA 4 with my old graphic card but now I have some issues with the 6950. After a few minutes of play, some green and yellow dots (or crosses) randomly appear onscreen.
I have uninstalled my previous driver before installing the 6950. I have the catalyst 11.4 installed. Msi live update doesn't find any newer bios and the fan works. Do you know what the problem could be ?
Edit : here are my specs :
CPU phenom 2 x4 965BE 3.4ghz
motherboard gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3 bios F10 (latest)
Memory 2x4 GB CORSAIR DDR3 PC3-12800
video card MSI R6950-2PM2D2GD5
hard drive Western Digital 500 Go 32 Mo 7200 tr/min - SATA II - Caviar Black
A PCI express wifi card
OS Windows seven 64
PSU Corsair TX V2 650W +12V~53A, +5V~30A, +3.3V~30A

I play GTA 4 on steam. I checked the cache in case and it's ok.
It might be a problem with GTA4 now that you name it. I turned the game off as soon as the artifacts appeared for fear that it would damage my expensive device. The artifacts always appeared 4 minutes after I loaded my savegame. That's why I thought of a memory overload or a heat issue. However I eventually noticed that the game follows a weather scheme, and that it always rains 4 minutes after I load my savegame.
So I googled rain+GTA 4 and I found other people with similar issues. So it might be software related after all.

I'm sorry if I annoyed you or whatever. Don't be to hard on me though : I wasted a whole day running benchmarks and I have a mute-out-of-rage girlfriend in the kitchen.
Thank you and have a good day.
edit: wasn't this issue fixed by 10.12a ati drivers ?

    There are no updates currently available beyond v10.8.4 for Mountain Lion.
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
    If that doesn't help, the startup disk may need repairing.
    Turn the Mac off, wait about ten seconds then startup while holding down the Command + R keys. Let go of the keys when you see the spinning progress indicator.
    From there you should be able to access the utilities in recovery mode to verify and repair the disk if necesssary, or reinstal OS.

  • Video turns blurry after a few minutes of playing

    while watching movies, at first it clear then turns blurry, that you can't even see the picture though the sound is clear, why is that?

    Need much more information than this. What kind of movie? Is it from iTunes or a legitimate provider of movies? Or is it something else?

  • I have just upgraded to IOS 7 and for some reason iMessage and face time will not work. It asks me for my Apple ID username and password and when I enter then it tries to sign in and then after a few minutes comes up with cannot activate try connection ?

    I have just upgraded my iPad to iOS 7 and now FaceTime and iMessage will not allow me to sign in. I enter my appl I'd and password but after a few minutes I get a message to say cannot activate try network connection then try again no matter how many times you do this it will not sign in. Any thoughts ?
    Thanks neil

    try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. The servers may still be having a hard time keeping up, so you may just need to wait a little while and try again.

  • 1st Gen IPod Touch Volume Controls won't come up after a few minutes

    I've got a first gen IPod touch and ever since I upgraded to the OS 3 family I've had a problem where after a few minutes of playing a video, if I tap the screen to bring up the volume controls, nothing happens. If I tap the screen in the first few minutes, the controls come up fine but after a few minutes a screen tap does nothing. Returning to the home screen and re-launching the video player didn't work either. I was turning the unit off and back on to correct the problem but after reading that a new "feature" of OS 3 pertained to volume control and headphone detection I tried a new tactic. When the volume controls would not display, I unplugged my headphones (the video paused when I did this) and plugged the headphones back in and the volume controls display auto-magically and would appear on with a screen tap for a few minutes then I was back in the same situation. Is there anyway a setting could be created to disable headphone detection and the "features" that it brings? The headphones work fine when the volume controls won't display so it doesn't feel like a headphone problem. Thanks.

    Except for your keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from your computer & repair disk & permissions from your Tiger DVD.
    Repairing permissions from the Tiger DVD
    Boot up from your Tiger Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    If Disk First aid is able to complete the repair now click on the "Repair permissions" button.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer.

  • Green and purple dots on screen (fixed!)

    So I had green and purple dots all over the screen of my iMac (10.5.6, intel 24"). The dots would disappear briefly when windows were dragged over them. Green dots appeared on black backgrounds and purple dots appeared on lighter backgrounds (e.g. "about this mac" was really bad). I didn't find the solution anywhere and several people reported needing to replace their hardware. With the help of a technician at Apple, we figure out the fix (in my case).
    Here's what didn't work:
    - shutting off the machine and unpowering for 15 seconds
    - resetting the PRAM
    Here's what DID work:
    - go to Utilities
    - go to Disk Utility
    - select Macintosh HD
    - press "verify disk permission" (and wait a long long time)
    - press "repair disk permission" (and wait a long long time)
    - reboot
    This fixed it. Apparently errors on disk impact bits in displaying certain things. Who knew.
    Anyway, I hope this helps someone else.
    Nate

    OK. Thanks.
    I noticed that when I ran the verify/repair permissions again, it found some, repaired it, and the dots went away again. That would indicate a hardware problem.

  • The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari.  I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows.  Does anyone know how to get those buttons back

    The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari.  I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows between different applications.  Does anyone know how to get those buttons back?  I guess I could just switch betwen appliations, but I am used to doing it the other way.

    You're welcome 
    You had Safari in full screen mode.

    Hi aaliyafrommarkham,
    In order to troubleshoot this, I would recommend that you start with an SMC reset. Information on this procedure can be found here:

  • Stack Charge Oscillating Green and Yellow

    Hi,
    I ave managed to stack charge it until it doesn't reboot any more on PlayBook start screen. But I've left it for a day on wall power and with the LED oscillating green (and yellow I think).
    I have still not seen the green chargin icon. Just the red one. What's my next step?

    Still no luck. I'm in dire need of proper stack chargin instrucions.
    I can only seem to get either red LED, then red battery then boot and and die.
    Or red LED, then red battery and then oscillating green (and yellow) LED.
    (I have left the oscillating green (and yellow) over night and longer, but no luck.
    Any suggestions or advice will be much appreciated. 

  • Green and purple dots iMac 27

    I have seen posts on this -- green and purple dots appearing on screen for iMac 27 -- -solution was to upgrade firmware but the upgrades suggested were for different graphics cards than i have -- -
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB
    Is there a firmware update for this graphics card to address this issue?
    Thanks - rberger25

    Wish-to-God - as an avid Mac aficionade since 1984 - that they'd do the same with MY 27" mid-2010 i5, too - or at least SOLVE THIS COMMON PROBLEM??!!
    Mine, too, seems precipitated by going to sleep: I let mine run continally ('cept the display), and each morning now (for weeks, it seems) I'm greeted by an alert stating my OS X encountered a problem, and needed to restart.
    Today - for the first time - I faced a dark blue screen, with only my cursor appearing .. outlined in white.
    As nothing would allow me to access the computer, I had to manually restart from this "freeze" - twice.
    Same ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB as rberger25 noted above.
    MY AppleCare has been expired for probably six months now - and the nearest Apple store is 200 miles from me...
    Despite three iPhone 4S's, two iPad 4 Retina's, a MacBookPro Retina 15", a couple of Apple TV's, a new Airport Extreme, and another two iMac 24's in my present "stable", I seriously doubt Apple will give me the time of day with regard to this specific malady... although support has always been superb and responsive to queries regarding those items still under active AppleCare warranties (unfailingly purchased with each new device).
    Just seems a shame to be so easily "forgotten" when it comes to a significant, widespread, common problem with such an expensive device....
