I went and spent £114 on this card, four weeks later in turn my computer on and what do I find, pinks lines on my screen, I don't really know if it’s the cards it’s self or something else doing it, but it’s a start. I play a game called Planetside (online) and the graphics are poor now, I get weird shades of color and out of place graphics, so I can't see who in front of me half the time.
 
I need help!!!! ;( has anyone else had the same problem?

Is your power supply a high quality 350+ watt? The card could be defective, or you could have a weak power supply that can't handle the Radeon's draw. Try pulling all the power connectors except the mobo and Radeon and see if your pink lines go away.

OP
Well up[censored] the divers made it worse, and I can't see any thing in the bios that’s helping, so the card has a problem, I tried everything under the sun to solve the problem, but nothing, looks like a new card for me, and ideas, I got an MSI mother board, so what about an MSI card.
 
Thanks for the help
