Weird artifact when i oc?
Weird artifact when i oc?
Hey guys, I realized overclocking here is causing some strange issues. Here are my details:
Processor: AMD FX™-8350 Eight-Core Processor
Video Card: MSI r9 390x 8g
RAM: 8.1 GB
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 (build 10586), 64-bit
PSU: EVGA 850w g2
Old CD drive
Hyper 212 evo cpu cooler
MOBO: Asus M5 A99FX PRO R2.0
Now these grid-like grey diamonds keep appearing. Even when I set the MSI gaming app to default OC (110MHz), it still happens. Plus, it starts at my core clock settings. I can't even push my card a bit without it crashing. Any advice? Thanks!
I usually try this method first. Turn off the computer, take out and put back the card. Temperature changes can make the card shift slightly, causing weak contact with a slot pin or allowing dust to bridge some pins. A more intense approach involves loosening the motherboard without taking it off—keep it flat on the floor (a standard tower should be on its side)—insert the card, verify it’s square, then secure all screws before putting the computer back upright. This can aid in preventing issues from heavy cards sagging. If the card is still under warranty, you may need to file an RMA.

Dust or other conductive substances might also form small bridges between pins.
