So I just got a 7870 a couple days ago and have been having some problems I want to find the source of. So, as seen in the pictures attached to this post at random times (This has happened twice now) The screen will go into a weird array of colors which will not stop until I reset the computer. I have checked the cables and, as it happens on both monitors, can't be the source.
I would immediately attribute it to a faulty graphics card and send it back immediately but here's the thing, this only happens on the monitor designated as monitor 1 in Windows. When both monitors are connected it only happens on monitor 1, and when I unplug the monitor set as 1 the secondary monitor becomes monitor 1 and it happens on that monitor.
I want to figure this out as soon as possible so I can send it back soon, but I can't tell if it's a GPU, driver, or windows problem.
Thanks,
