[GPU][OC] Graphical errors after smallest change to GPU clock speeds.

Hello there!

I've been using an overclocked GPU for about a year and a half now and am suddenly getting graphical errors. Horizontal, pixelated lines have started appearing on my second monitor out of nowhere. These stop when I return the GPU clocks back to default. Now even if I increase the clock speeds by +1MHz they start up again.

My PC specs:

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Processor: Intel i7-4790k 4Ghz
  • GPU: Radeon R9 270X (OC to 1180MHZ core, 1550MHZ mem.)
  • MoBo: ASUS Z97-A
  • Wireless card: 802.11n Tenda Wireless LAN card
  • RAM: 16gb DDR3
  • Displays: 1. 22" Acer LCD 60hz 223W 2. Generic 20" Alba 1080p Plasma TV

What I've tried:

  • Updating GPU drivers
  • Checking for Windows updates
  • Disabling/Enabling Vsync in global settings
  • Doing a clean install of my graphics drivers.
  • Enabling/disabling gpu and monitors in device manager
  • Installing previous gpu drivers
  • Checking VGA BIOS for updates (up to date)

Programs being used:

  • MSI afterburner 4.3.0 (I used this guide http://ift.tt/2qAmjgZ and kept the overclock within the recommended limits)
  • AI suite 3 (I have a feeling this may be stopping the GPU from getting enough power)
  • Sapphire Trixx 6.4.0 (This causes a black screen as soon as any setting is changed)
  • GPU-Z 2.1.0 (Shows correct OC speed on the graphics card tab but the sensors show really low speeds when any OC is applied. GPU alternates between clock state 3 (150MHZ, 450MHZ and default))

I'd be happy to take any screenshots or provide any additional information or tests to help analyse the error. Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
