Odd flickering artifacts, crashes and loss of signal to display.

[Dazzlock]

Hello everyone!

 

I'm always playing battlefield 1 when this occurs, but I haven't done much else on my computer recently. I experience sudden game crashes, sometimes after a few short freezes, and the signal to my display is (usually) lost. When the signal remains I see very odd artifacts and windows menus stop working correctly (see video showing this behavior) even after I completely kill battlefield 1. I have played battlefield 1 a lot before on this system without this happening. It seems to be more frequent as of recently. 

 

Seems to fix itself after a simple reboot, but it reoccurs.

 

System specs:

 

GPU: Msi r9 390

CPU: i5 4690k (not OC)

MOBO: Msi g43 gaming

SSD: Samsung 830 series

HDD: WD Black 1TB

RAM: 2x 4GB HyperX Savage DDR3 1600 MHz

OS: Windows 10 home 64x

that doesn't look good. Overclocked at all? Drop the clocks?

 

maybe try DDU and reinstall drivers

What @mechanicalfluff said, plus if you disabled the pagefile could be it (I did once, everything crashed after a few hours and Windows really did NOT like it)

Haven't done any overclocking or anything like it really. I might just try DDU actually.

give it a shot - see what happens, try to narrow it down as far as you can before declaring a hardware failure  

 

after that, if it's ONLY when the gpu is being hammered, try under clocking it - start with memory, then try BF - followed by the core, try again.

 

if it happens just randomly whenever, try downloading a linux live usb image - see if it happens under linux maybe a weird w10 problem

I had this issue on one of my 1070s. turns out the gpu was overheating without the core overheating. replaced my thermal pads and everything is A.OK

This turned out to be the problem, my GPU reached over 90°C. I took of the side panel and it jumped down to about 70°C which means that my airflow sucks as the temps should increase. Need to do some adjustments on that, but I've had the GPU for 3 years now, would you recommend a thermal pad replacement?
