can you try your igpu  

 

or can you go to a computer store and troubleshoot you hardware replace everything your cpu you gpu you name it and try adding a sound card 

My monitor requires a dedicated gpu, an integrated one won't even display anything 

Balls, that is me all out of ideas. Sorry man.

No worries, seems to be a mystery to everyone at the moment.

Do you have TV then if so then hook it to the TV and see if the problem is gone.

I did try that, it did seem to alleviate stutter and sync up the audio (keep in mind the audio is only a fraction out of sync) though i really hope it's not some sort of placibo effect. but it's looking like i've gotten a dodgy Korean monitor. but sometimes (rarely)  when i boot up my PC, it struggles to even play HD video on youtube. but if you shut it down and switch the power on and off, it plays them again.

Have you tried using the hdmi audio?

Can only connect to my monitor via DVI

On another note, make sure there are not conflicting drivers eg. nvidia and amd drivers installed or older drivers.

Also, this may sound weird but is something pinning your cpu at a high usage even when "idle" a virus of some sort. That last one was just a thought and I have no experience of such a thing although, I pretty sure they exist.  

Cpu usage is normal levels on idle, no viruses on my PC, and no conflicting drivers either.

Do you plug your speakers through the analog input? if so then if you have a USB speaker or headset, try them and maybe they will work.

I only have analogue headphones ...

sound drivers updated ? other then that i dont have a solution

Latest from the gigabyte site

Sorry, the title reminded me of Battlefield 4.

I would say the best bet is to swap out the graphics card to see if that has any effect, I am sure either you or a friend has one lying around. 

If not try reinstalling drivers, games and windows (in that order, if the before has no effect) 

I don't have any spare graphics card's (this is my first PC) and i don't know anyone with a PC.

I have already reinstalled drivers and windows and games..... no effect.

have you tried to use a sound card?

no i haven't, but it's not like i have one on hand to test with. 

Downgrade the GPU Drivers.

Doesn't matter what drivers i use ( i've used a bunch) i've had this issue since i built the PC. but i just can't put up with it any more.

how is sound hooked up?

Via the front speaker jack at the back of the motherboard 

only thing i could say is reinstall windows thats around it

Already did that, made no difference.

Oh and my speakers are Edifier e10's 
And watching flash videos/ any videos are also out of sync by a fraction of a second.

So I'm unsure about what exactly is wrong with my 6 month old PC, Perhaps it's the graphics card, or perhaps it's the monitor causing the issue. But first and foremost the audio is out of sync (using headphones or speakers doesn't matter it's still out of sync) (the video appears to be late) and every game i play micro stutters regardless of the settings or the resolution i use.

My specs are as follows:

Intel i5 4670k (stock clock)  cooled by a  coolermaster hyper 212 evo
 saphire r9 290 (with a tri-x cooler)

8 gigs of 1600 g.skill ram
samsung 840 evo (250 gig)
seagate barracuda (2TB)
antec high currentgamer psu (620 watt)
windows 7
latest amd beta drivers 

And my monitor is the QNIX 2710 (not overclocked) 
 

I was just wondering if it only happened when it was OCd

 

Try run it at 50/30hz see if anything else happens? Maybe its native refresh rate is something weird

At 50 hz it gets these weird green lines over half the screen, at 30hz it's just colours and lines everywhere 

.

I honestly have no idea, what refresh rate is it running at?

It can get up to 110hz but even running at 60hz it frame skips all the time

You could relegate it to being a second monitor for watchign youtube or for productivity

 

I am sure you could sell it but advertise that it is not suitable for gaming as it stutters, but works great for somebody editing documents and just take a bit of a hit

Having read all of the problems i'm having, do think that beyond a shadow of a doubt it's the monitor at fault? 

And if so... do you think there's nothing left to do but buy a name brand monitor and be done with it?

Thats the problem with buying crappy koreon monitors its a gamble that you get one that works well

 

Have you tried over or under clocking the monitor to get it back to its correct refresh rate?

 

Why not try sell it and buy a new monitor, going back to console makes 0 sense as its just a monitor problem

I just really hope it's only a monitor problem, it'd really suck if i bought a new one only to have the same problems......

It really does look like i'll have to buy a new monitor, though i'd really feel bad about selling a monitor that doesn't work right. It might end up haveing to become a $300 reddit browsing screen .........sigh

Well "some" monitors do have an option in the On Screen Display (OSD) to adjust or disable it (like most ASUS monitors). However, if that monitor doesn't have an OSD then I think you might be out of luck unfortunately.

I just tested my set up with the TV in the Lounge room, it's definitely smoother but also seems to stutter a bit, particularly when playing flash video.

@sdhdok, that sounds like some bad pixel overdrive compensation (used to speed up the monitors response time).

Is there anything i can do about it?

no harm asking for warranty from the site where you bought it

 

i believe the mobo does have the juice from the onboard to power the monitor

 

if its Intel of course

I bought it from ebay.

It's not a matter of "juice"  this monitor is incompatible with onboard graphics

hmm you have any DVI cable in the house?

 

try that to rule out cable issues

 

try with your onboard display to rule out GPU problems

 

all else fails

 

your monitor is going out my friend

I already tried the DVI cable (bought a new one)  no dice.

I can't use an onboard gpu with this monitor it requires a dedicated gpu

That sucks this monitor is 5 months old and hasn't worked right since day one ( i bought it from Korea so i'm pretty sure there isn't a warranty) 

have you tried display port?

 

can you reset to factory settings?

It's a single input monitor (only has a DVI port)

It only has controls at the bottom that don't appear on screen.

So i have a Qnix 2710 monitor that seems to have a permanent frame skip no matter what refresh rate it's set at.

Not only does it skip frames every few seconds (in every damn game and even when playing videos) but it's also out of sync with my audio .

I've tried everything from installing new drivers to complete OS reinstalls (i'm running windows 7 if that's relevant)

The only other "monitor" i could test with was my crappy 21 inch TV, and there was no frame skips using that.

I'm using an AMD R9 290 to output video (via dual link DVI) to the monitor.

Please someone help.... I'm at my wit's end and contemplating... (GASP)  going back to console gaming.
