Pixelation before display stops & turns off :/ :/

[SilenT_LobsteR]

<sub>Hey folks, 

Pretty puzzled as to whats causing this issue so thought i'd reach out to see if anyone has had similar problems. 

Basically i've suspected my CPU or Motherboard to be on the way out for quite awhile but it's been doing the job and i'm upgrading when 4790K is released, if i'd try and overclock or adjust fan profiles in BIOS sometimes it wouldn't boot into Windows it would ask me to reset all the settings to default before it could continue. That was the first problem.</sub>

<sub>About a week ago the computer would display Asus' load up screen but keyboard wouldn't turn on so couldn't access BIOS or anything, needed to restart several times before keyboard would light up and the Asus screen would go away and go into Windows. 

Now is the biggest problem, on boot the Asus' screen has these weird pixelations on it, see picture below</sub>

 

_{It wouldn't have any problems booting past this though and would get to the first Windows 7 screen where the balls come together, then it goes to the next "Welcome" screen, has massive pixelation and from there all displays turn off. NOTE: Computer still stays on when this happens and it appears to still go into Windows but no display is output.} 

 

 

 

_{I tried doing a fresh install onto a different SSD and booted fine around 2-3 times before having the same problem again. Removed GPU and used onboard graphics but still same issue.}

<sub>Also booting into Safe Mode seems to work no problems and no pixelation is on the screen... No idea why Safe Mode works but normal Windows doesn't...

Soooo basically just wondering whether it's the CPU or Motherboard that's the problem, I don't care too much about this because i've been waiting to buy a 4790K since they were annouced so that'll fix the issue but if i can RMA either the Motherboard or CPU i may as well I guess. 

Specs: 
Motherboard: Asus F1A75M-Pro
CPU: AMD A8-3870K 
RAM: 8 GB Corsair Pro 1866
GPU: R9 290 
Windows 7 64bit</sub>


Anymore questions just ask =) 

Cheers

Tried to update bios?

It might be a driver issue.

A driver issue doesn't happen BEFORE YOU GO TO WINDOWS, so there's something more close to the hardware going wrong.

Either a broken GPU or maybe a corrupted BIOS.

I suggest clearing CMOS first, then trying a different GPU if it isn't fixed, then try a BIOS update

I'll try updating the BIOS, it's the only thing at the moment I haven't tried so we'll see how that goes.
