Random weird arifacts?

Hey guys,

 

So I was playing some payday 2 (It's an awesome game). It's not a demanding game by any stretch, and my temps were fairly low since I had V-Sync on. Anyways, in the middle of it there were a bunch of grey squares in a diagonal pattern all across my screen. I don't know what that is, and it wasn't only for Payday 2 so it wasn't a graphical error. I alt-tabbed and my desktop was the same.

 

It's not my PSU, I have an overkill PSU. It's not my GPU, I tried it in a different system. I doubt it's my CPU.

 

I restarted, kept playing and it never happened again since.

 

 

 

What should I think of this?

Did you try turning it off and turning it back on again?

As I said in the OP, yes

revert back to stock clocks if you are on OC

 

you said not only PayDay2

 

so which games have the same artifacts?

 

does it happen with Unigine?

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible. 

Quote whom you're replying to, and set option to follow your topics. Or Else we can't see your reply.

Try running memtest86, see if there is a dead sector on the memory.

I'll try that once I get my USB drive from Amazon
