The issue: Strange behaviour with my graphic card for the past 5 months(i think the graphic card is the issue here). Had alot of issues since i bought the card and i simply want to get to the bottom of it all before i decide to RMA it. think i'm up to around 10 different kind of issues since i bought it by now..haha
specs:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600k
Cooler: Intel Standard
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD65
RAM: 4x 4gb Corsair Vengeance
GPU: Sapphire HD 7970 Dual-X
HDD: WE 500gb Sata (few years old)
PSU: Corsair Corsair 650TX
1: A simple thing like just using the computer browsing the net or playing a game, or even accidently giving the desk a slight nudge makes my screens "lose signal" with the computer so i have to replug the cable to the main monitor for it to work again. I don't have to nudge the desk for this to happend, but at occasion i managed to relate such things with some of the "lost signal" i was getting. (happens both screens at the same time)
2: One day my computer crashed/bluescreened around 8 times in the time span of 2-3 hours the moment i opened some kind of game. (updated the drivers after crash 3. and tried different games to make sure it wasnt a faulty installation)
From what i gathered from these it was software related bluescreens, haven't had them since.
NOW! for the fun part.
3: My computer have started actively crashing/losing signal on the monitors when i start my computer (can take several tries before i starts properly) I start the computer, i get into windows and it lost the signal on both monitors, i replugged them which did not work. Instead i got a green screen on my 2nd monitor with graphic tearing across the whole screen in form of lines.
Restarted computer again, shortly after getting into windows same thing happends, this time a brown screen. i tried replugging the cable to be met by a green screen on my main monitor with the same graphic tearing.
Sometimes it crash before i get into windows.

From what i can gather using the pogram "WhoCrashed" this one seem to be related to faulty hardware.
I still get these crashes and problems frequently when the computer have been turned off, so a fresh boot. After a couple of tries it boots properly, and from there it works without any issues what so ever. As in, i used it all day played games, watched a movie, browsed the net and no crashes etc. Had it turned on during the night, and no signs of any issues.
I proceed to turn off the computer and head off, and boot it up when i get home and same issues all over again.
So yeah..i really need some expert help here, i consider myself quite tech savvy, but this is getting ridiculous
Been debating on popping in my old 9800gtx+ to see if i experience the same kind of crashes with that card. But aint even sure that is the problem anymore.

noone around with sufficient computer knowledge that can give me some sunshine upon these annoying issues?
