Radeon 4850 - Driver issues

[Aelexe]

I'll try cut the story short, my computer experiences random graphic glitches in games after a seemingly unpredictable amount of play time, the glitches persist in any game I attempt to play until I restart my computer.

Also errored once and went to a blue screen which mentioned something about a driver time out failure.

Also occasionally during games my computer experiences slightly freezes and a tooltip appears stating something about the driver recovering or something...

I've tried multiple drivers and both versions of Vista and Windows 7.

^Examples of what it looks like. Note if there's any color it wasn't visible when I took the pictures.

Anyone got any ideas what's up? Faulty graphics card? Really bad luck at picking drivers?

Sorry about the badly written post, I've been half copy pasting it to multiple forums in order to try get some help.

After watching your image links and whatever you have mentioned above, it seems to me memory problem. What and how much of ram do you have? Did you tried increasing your ram modules? However I don't think it could be graphics card issues but drivers may be the one which can also have kind of problems. May be you are having missing or corrupted drivers. Try installing the latest one and see if the problem persists.

Also can you provide us the complete message that appears on your screen to understand the problem in a better way?

Here's a link for reference of whats in my computer, and I have all the most up to date drivers.

Do you think my ram could be causing this then?

I suspect that the problem is from the driver. For more information on the above issue, you need to check out the following link. May be because your power requirement is much high than your PSU could provide. I would say its your temperature it is abit too hot even at idle it is really hot and your PSU sounds like a generic brand too so i would consider its not giving the card enough power.
