    Hello ROS's
    i got problem with my asus g73jh-bst7 video card "5870m", the problem is in the colors nothing else .
    i was playing fifa 13 as always and i get a problem on the games color first i I thought that is the game problem, but after close the game the problem still on the desktop ! .
    i formatted the windows , installed last drivers for 5870m, flashed the vBios, and i connect the laptop to my external Screen but the problem still there !
    but when i disabled the Readon 5870m from the device manger and switch to standard VGA the problem is gone , so i believe the problem is in the Video card !!



    then i go to device manger and enable the Display adapter "5870m" i got this problem :

    hmm I had this issue a while back when one of my older laptops started overheating... I think the issue might have been related. Have you tried running some CPU/GPU temp monitors to see if your getting abnormal temps under load?

    I had to send my laptop in for warrenty repairs to fix the issue so you may want to get that going with Asus or whoever your retailer was.

    The HD 5870m GPU is always around 80 on load and around 65 on idle .
    and for sure i just finished repasting the GPU and the CPU right now , so i am sure its not about overheat or over clock .

    this images after repasting , formate windows , driver update , flash the vBios , change monitor :
