    Gray lines appear on my screen randomly


    So when I hover my cursor over text or something else, some things will display a small rectangle telling you what it is. For example, if you hover over the name of a youtube video, after about a second, It will show the full text or title of the video in the small rectangle. This is normal. However, once in a while, it happens randomly when I move my cursor away and it disappears, a gray line stays there but disappears if I scroll or refresh. It mostly happens on chrome so I don't know if its my computer or just something with chrome. And its not that bad, just a little annoying and I don't

It mostly happens on chrome so I don't know if its my computer or just something with chrome. And its not that bad, just a little annoying and I don't know how to get rid of it. So far it has only happened on youtube and spotify (on chrome) from what I can remember.

    "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.

    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:
