R7970 Lightning grey/blue screen with vertical lines crash

Hi there,
Hoping to get some help from MSI regarding this issue
I've had this R7970 Lighting for about a year now and up until now did not have issues with it. Yesterday I was trying out how far I could OC with stock voltages using MSI afterburner and the screen suddenly went grey with vertical stripes in a ordered fashion (dark grey, light grey, with a pattern). The computer seemed to have completely locked up and required a hard power off (reset switch didn't work)
Over the next 24 hours I've installed multiple drivers (some people online have issues with the newer AMD drivers) from 12.4 to 13.4 to no avail (I did proper cleaning using Driver Sweeper and CCleaner in between each). I did a complete reformatting and reinstall of win7 (UEFI) to no avail.
The issue can now be triggered easily by launching any 3D program (crash immediately upon display of 3D material) or just by booting and running a few standard programs like browsing around windows explorer and launching CCC.
Is my card dead? Should I RMA or is this a software/BIOS issue?
Thanks in advance.

if it happened when you had the issue happen while pushing the clocks up you have probably damaged the GPU internally from a frequancy it couldn't handle!
if it doesn't now work at stock clocks for the R7970 lightning then i would say you need to RMA the card as the GPU is shot...

grey screen no apple followed by blue screen with vertical lines. Graphics and logic board replaced <6 months ago. What to do? I held down shift, it gets HOT HOT and makes noises. (for safety mode) followed by a blank grey screen and blue screen. Then tried the other way (sorry, I think it's command alt delete? I don't remember) and it turned from grey (no apple symbol) to blue blank. Then third time, grey followed by blue with vertical lines, not blocky clear lines that you can see if you are close to it.
Thanks for any help!

You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.

Blank Blue Screen with diagonal lines

My new ACD 23 display is occassionally showing a blue screen with diagonal lines running through it. When I reboot, it comes up fine. I am using the monitor with a PC. It usually happens in the morning after it has been in sleep mode and I start the days work.
Any ideas as to what this could be?
Thanks,

Only your OEM DVD has AHT, and not if you have installed a newer OS or reformatted.
Swap graphic card. You have a 3-4 yr old system.
Don't rely on fsck or Apple First Aid either.

HT6114 Since updating my mbp it has started freezing on a bright blue screen with verticle lines.

Hello, II have just used teh software update and it updated my macbook pro - I think I am now using Maverik, 0SX 10.9.2
My computer keeps crashing with a bright blue screen and verticle lines. One time it crashed so it looked like my desktop was a split screen. I reboot and it starts up OK but then it happens again. I have run disc utility which says I there are no problems. Does anyone know what is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks

Might be a hardware issue. (graphics card)
Run the Apple Hardware Test

Hi,
The latest dmps show that the crash is probably caused by : atikmpag.sys which is driver for ATI Graphic Card, I would suggest you update to the latest graphic crad driveror just reinstall as a test, you can manually look for the driver in the manufacture
website.
And this is the requirements to run World of Tanks

I can't restore my iPod touch. It is now frozen with a white screen with vertical lines and I cannot restart it.

While trying to update my iPod touch OS, an error was encountered and iTunes suggested restoring my iPod. The restoration failed and my iPod's screen is a white with tiny grey vertical lines. I have not been able to restart the iPod. Sleep/Wake didn't do it, nor did pressing Sleep/Wake and home simultaneously go it. Any ideas?

- Let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- The connect to computer and restore if necessary and if yu cn.

My desktop is only loading to a grey/blue screen with the apple symbol and the "working" symbol....help!???!!

Help, my niece played with my keyboard and now my mac only loads to the blue/grey screen with the apple and a working symbol...help please!

The following support article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running 10.7 or later) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

White screen with vertical lines when opening.

My laptop has recently started showing a white screen with different colored vertical lines across it when opening the lid. It doesn't happen all the time but often enough to be concerning. If you close the lid and open again 95% of the time everything is good - with another try or two we can always get it back. There aren't any flickers or anything like that while using it. It sounds to me like a potential connection or short in the wiring. Am I on the right track? Thanks Donny

well i went to the apple store and went to the genius bar, they didn't tell me what caused my problem or what happened but they replaced my iphone! hopefully this doesn't happen again

Help: iMac won't boot past Grey logo screen with spinning lines

My fiance's iMac (intel based) running snow leopard (upgraded from Leopard a couple months ago) will not boot past the logo and spinning lines. This started after at attempting to restart after installing updates to Safari and iTunes.
When booting in verbose mode I get these lines:
Launchctl: Dubious permissions on file (skipping): /Library/LaunchDaemons
Launchctl: Dubious permissions on file (skipping): /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
Launchctl: Dubious permissions on file (skipping): /etc/mach_inid.d
AppleYukon2: Marvel Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8055 Singleport Copper SA
AppleYukon2: RxRingSize <= 1024, TxRingSize 256. RXMAXLE 1024, TXMAXLE 768, STMAXLE 3328
Then it just stops and does nothing.
I've unplugged everything except the apple keyboard and mouse. Ethernet is not connected.
She doesn't seem to have the original disc that came with the computer, but I do have the Snow Leopard upgrade disc.
What do I do? It won't boot in Safe Mode either, freezes at the same spot.
I'm not a particularly savvy Mac user as I recently embraced them when we moved in together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Repairing permission is not the first answer. Should try to run fsck and reset the PRAM
Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line.
Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
At the command-line prompt type:
/sbin/fsck -fy
Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OKIf fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
When fsck reports that your volume is OK, typerebootat the prompt and then press Return.
Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.

Our IPAD was dropped and now has a blue screen with little line pattern on the very left side (like a margin) - any chance for it's recovery?

Any solutions for this? Won't turn off - letting the battery die at this point to see if a restart will help. Any ways to save at this point? Thanks in advance for any tips or help!

Nevermind!!! We figured out how to fix it! Home button + OFF button for 30 seconds - restarted and we are down to 8 lives!!! YAY!

Blue screen, verticla balck lines, frozen, won't boot

My sister's G4, probably about 7 years old and using latest os x 10.4 froze yesterday. She was using Vuescan for some photographic work when it froze. Force quit did not work, nor did holding the power button down. She unplugged it when nothing had changed overnight. When it restarts it goes to a blue screen with vertical black lines. She has 10.5 ready to install so put that disc in, but it stays at the blue screen/vertical lines state. I've been reading about the PRAm battery, which has never been changed, and the machine spends most of it's time switched off, although plugged in. She's tried Safe Mode boot up and single user boot up. Any suggestions? To make matters better, we're in different countries, so I can't actually see what's on the screen.

Ditech,
When it restarts it goes to a blue screen with vertical black lines
That sounds like a graphics card problem. Have her remove the card and try reseating it. I've also seen certain cards burn up with bad onboard fans. Flames and smoke.
Just had a case like that but the fan was making a hellish noise. The computer kept freezing and shutting down.
She has 10.5 ready to install so put that disc in,
Make sure the G4 meets the minimum requirements:

IMac 21.5" boots to white screen with vertical blue lines/bars then locks up

iMac 21.5" (mid 2010) Intel Core i3 4GB RAM with Radeon HD 4670 boots to white screen with vertical blue lines/bars:
Then it locks up after a few minutes, at which point the screen changes to white with these blue symbol things all over the screen:
If boot to Safe Mode, it still has the white screen with blue lines/bars, but eventually loads the login screen and I can successfully login and get to the desktop, but even that has the bars/lines.
Eventually, after enough restarts or hard shutdowns it will boot normally with no video/display issues. I've run disk checks, did the SMC and PRAM resets, checked logs (that I know of), and have even taken it completely apart, cleaned it out, reseated everything, put it all back together, but no change. I've read a few other posts about similar issues (but not quite the same video issue as this) where people had the logic boars replaced or reinstalled OSX, but that didn't always fix it. Any ideas? Has anyone seen this issue before? Thank you.

Is this a dead disk?
Very well could be.
If you can not startup from the Hardware Test, in Safe Mode or from > OS X Recovery as discribed in the Support article's.
Dig out the original Install Disc set that came with the iMac and do one of the following.
1. Attempt to Repair the Hard Drive.
Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
Click the First Aid tab.
Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
Select your Mac OS X volume.
Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
2. Run the Hardware Test from the second Install Disc.
1. Insert Disc 2 and Startup holding the D key.
2. Select the Extended Hardware Test.
Then if you still can not get anything going, you need to contact your Local Apple Store or AASP and make a Service appointment.
