I was playing on Ziba tower in BF3..And on the top of a door frame was flickering in and out..That's the only weird thing i have noticed so far..

[trevorsom13]

any more ideas?... im full out.

[OneGun]

any more ideas?... im full out.

My 7950s run perfect..I don't have idle or full load issues as i just checked...

 

Did you use the AMD uninstall utility before installing new drivers?Are you running your monitor OCed?

[trevorsom13]

yes, and no. 

[trevorsom13]

perhaps the issue is somewhere else.

sorry for quoting, but, i was noticing that the gpus are running different bios, is that a problem?

Have you tried uninstalling all the drivers, then installing the non beta ones first? Try doing that, test the current stable drivers and see if there is any issues, then move on to the next step, uninstall the stable drivers and install the beta drivers, test them again, if the same error appears then you'll have to try and wait for a stable release. Don't forget to send a bug report if so.

did that, sent the report, however, just noticed a windows update for dot NET 4.5 that i havent installed.  I remember that being part of the driver, perhaps that was the problem, i will report back when done.

ya, ive done all that. Im fresh out of ideas at this point.

[Nit3Rid3R]

Well then there's not really much I would fiddle about with it, the drivers are still in Beta, so it isn't going to be working for everyone, it may just be a windows issue itself. 

 

The best way to find out is doing a fresh install onto a blank hard drive, while unplugging your current one, if the issue doesn't happen there, well...then that is that I guess? 

 

Also, does this happen to every game? Or just some games? 

[trevorsom13]

update.... it is not only in games that this happens, when i opened gpu z to take another look, it happened! So it appears that it happens whenever the gpu is accessed.

[Nit3Rid3R]

Hmm, do you have another computer lying around to test? I would try sticking that card into another computer, and see if it still runs at 99%, if so, then it might be the cards issue. Have you ruled out that is it afterbuners issue? 

[trevorsom13]

the thing is, it works perfectly in 13.6 beta 2, and no, this is my only desktop.

EDIT: i should also mention that temps do go up when this happens, so its not just a sensor error.
