Objects in-game disappearing/flashing, camera bouncing

[RainBowCake]

Hi, I've been recently having some issues where certain elements of games flicker in and out of existence, stretch, or are moved up  for a few seconds. Here are some videos which allow you to see this issue better:

 

GTA Online

World of Warcraft 1

World of Warcraft 2

Furmark Test

 

Some screenshots of the issue

 

Userbenchmark with all overclocks off

 

I've tried disabling all of my overclocks, updating my graphics drivers, and changing in-game settings. These issues seem to have came up once I disabled my overclock on my CPU about a day or two ago. I used to clock it at 4.0Ghz, however I disabled it to be 3.7Ghz with 4.3Ghz turbo. I also recently was playing around with my memory overclock, which was changed from 2933Mhz to 3200Mhz on 3000Mhz RAM.  However, once I saw these problems I clocked it back to 2933Mhz. I also tried putting everything's clock back to what it was when it was working, and I kept getting the same problems. It seems like the issues have to do with 3D, however I could be wrong. Both games I tested were on different drives. WoW was on the 970 EVO and GTA was on the SP.

 

Also, about a week ago I started noticing that when I load into World of Warcraft for the first time that day, I get extremely low FPS (around 10-20) for about a minute, until it went back up to around 90 or so. This issue didn't seem to persist for very long though.

 

Does anybody know what could be causing this?

This looks kind of like a bad GPU. It almost looks like the GPU memory is trying to run at too high of a speed, and thus you are getting this artifacting. If you have access to another GPU to through in, or another system to put the GPU in, try it and see if the issues persist. If they persist on the same system with a different graphics card, it would be another issue, same if the GPU functions normal in another system. Just in case, try running memtest to check that your system memory is fine, though I suspect it was just a coincidence that these issues started when overclocking your CPU and ram.

Hi, I used OCCT to test my system memory and my video memory. I got no errors after testing both of those. Then, I ran a 3D test and within 1 minute I got more than 1.3 million errors. https://imgur.com/a/ljzvgO4 What could this mean? I ran the test without any overclock on my graphics card. I do not have another card or system to test this in. Thanks for the reply

What about GPU's temperatures and CPU's also? Anyway you can try re apply thermal paste to your GPU. Also remember to load BIOS default values just in case that you forgot something when you were "playing" with your memory.

Temps are good, hovering around 70-72C for my card after a Furmark burn-in and 68-70C for my CPU after the Furmark CPU burner. I will try loading my BIOS at default settings.

 

Edit: I just tried setting my BIOS back to "Optimized Defaults" and I'm still getting the weird artifacts.

[RainBowCake]

Update: After setting my BIOS settings to their Optimized Defaults, I launched WoW to see what would happen. Initially, on one of my characters the little tassels on sword were flipping around, along with some other 3D physics objects that were suppose to interact with gravity and movement within game were spazzing out. When I started recording, it caught me off guard when the entire screen started freaking out, to a much greater extent than before. Usually, certain objects within the game would flicker or move or artifact, but this time is seemed like the entire screen was freaking out. As soon as I stopped recording, the entire-screen artifacts went away. I recorded two videos, one using OBS and one on my phone and uploaded them both. Let me know what you think. Maybe the extra CPU usage triggered it? I will try running prime95 and World of Warcraft at the same time and see what happens.

Temps are looking fine, how old is your PSU? Videos are weird. Is it possible to try another PSU just to exclude the possibility that something is wrong with it? And one other thing, you need to test it with other games to have an overall view, make a few installations and give it a try.

PSU is probably just over a year old, just tested it a couple of months ago as well and there were no problems. Minecraft generally didn't have any problems, even with intense shaders. That's the only other game I was able to test it with.

I was playing a game today and my computer froze up. What's weird is that the music I was playing stopped as well even though it was playing through a DAC connected to the motherboard (It should have kept playing even if the graphics card failed is what I'm thinking). When I tried to turn it back on, I got to the Windows login screen, but it was frozen as well. I thought it was my peripherals, so i disconnected and reconnected my mouse and keyboard and neither of them appeared to wake up my screen and bring me to my user login. I shut off my computer, disconnected it from everything, held down the power button for a minute or two, plugged it back in, and this time it brung up the AORUS logo as well as a "Please wait" and a Windows loading balls animation. Then, it froze. I waited for like 5 minutes and nothing happened. I restarted again, but this time i spammed the "delete" key to get into the BIOS. One of the Windows loading balls appeared and it froze again. I tried again and it was frozen. I tried reseating my gpu, storage devices, etc. to no avail.

Stick GPU in oven as last resort or do you think it's possible that it's something else? Thank's for your response.

About the "oven" method ...

 

Pay attention to the video and why is bad to "bake".

Best thing to do is test your GPU on another rig, and also try a spare one on yours, ask a friend or family to borrow one.
