Issue with friends PC

[PCBudgetSolutions]

I built her a pc a few months ago. Sadly she lives very far away so I have to diagnose it from here. She is getting "screen fluttering" which I assume is flickering. She was playing wow and it started to act up. I'm gonna have her take a video, not sure if it's just wow or not. Only check her settings and try a new driver and check her connections. She's using beta 13.2.

Her specs :

I7-3770

ASrock H77

2x8gb ddr3 1600

sapphire hd 7950 x

Xfx 550w 80+ bronze

Rosewill case

Xt3 cm cpu cooler.

Samsung 840 ssd

Seagate 1tb hd

Tell her to drop the 7950 down to stock clocks.

COuld just be the beta drivers, or even the cable isnt in the monitor properly, always a good thing to check, and you made HER. a PC you say? hmm could you say introduce me ;)

She's 53.

 

But I am going to test both of these when she wakes up

Nothing is overclocked.

Have you tried using radeon pro, its pretty awesome software to help with AMD GPU's.

 

Also my guess is that it's the beta drivers fault. (make FC3 do crazy things for me.)

I agree but I find it strange that I don't believe anything has changed in the 2 months she's been playing.  But first I'll have her check connection then update drivers.  I'll have her uninstall CCC reboot then reinstall.

She's like my second mom.  She sent me a 2,000 dollar check to build her 2 PC's despite only knowing each other over wow for 4 years now.

I had her uninstall all AMD software, rebooted, install the newest drivers 13.4, rebooted.  Now under CCC and MSI after burner her core clock was reading 460/825.  GPU-Z was reading it properly, but I had her change it in MSI afterburner, and I had her hit reset and it stayed the same.  Despite the card not having adjustable voltage even when unlocked in MSI Afterburner, it read 1.244V.  Now chances are the card is locked at 1.25V, but weird how my vapor-x is at 1.125 with a cap of 1.3V.  She uses a Sapphire HD 7950 Dual X (2x6 pins).  She's gonna test it tonight and see if it's a wow only issue.

Alot of people have gotten voltage locked sapphire 7950's.
