    Gray circle on screen at all times


    Here's an example of what it looks like on my screen. It's not a monitor issue to my knowledge because it appears on the screenshot and it's below the cursor. Does anyone know what this is?

    :)

    "Gray Screen of Death"

    Thanks for your informative post!

    I had solved my 2D & gray screen issue using advice posted by erocker (see below)
    Mainly it involves creating a profile and putting higher 2D clocks:

    Gray circle that locks up computer

    I have a Dell 2n1 laptop, suddenly there is this gray circle that won't allow me to use cursor. It closes screens and locks up my computer. I have tried troubleshooting, reinstalling touchscreen, turning off touchscreen to no avail. Any other suggestions?
    It continues to get worse. It has taken more than 10 redirections to get this message typed!

    "Gray Screen of Death"

    Great post! I have a Sapphire HD 5750 sitting on the shelf going to waste due to the gray screen crash. I run dual monitors and mine crashes randomly in 2D and is guaranteed to gray screen playing any kind of video.

    A few months ago I tried this method to no avail. The clocks stayed up just fine but it didn't help my crashing problem.

    This post has motivated me to maybe find a reference HD 5750 bios of another brand and try flashing.

    I've never flashed a video card, any suggestions or links where I might find a bios and flash utility?

    Thanks again for the great post.
