    Before I begin, I'd like to thank everyone for the helpful guides on this forum!

    Anywho on to my problem, I installed a Eurocom 7970m into my m17x r3 a week ago and everything has been running fine. Unfortunately today during a long Battlefield 3 session, my screen became a solid peach color with white lines and since I couldn't do anything, I had to hold down the power button. After starting up the computer again, I ran hwinfo and pressed sensors and I received a solid dark blue screen and had to shut down again.

    After several minutes of browsing or after launching a game, the screen does the same thing, it's very odd. Any suggestions on what the issue could be?

    Thanks in advance!
