Having problems with amd drivers or something

[Hussean]

Hello everybody I have a problem. I have been having a problem with my amd a8 6600k apu and I don't know what the problem is. I have been seeing some horizontal dashes on my screen for about a day or two counting today and I don't know what the problem is and I can't fix it no matter what I do including doing a complete system restore, system wipe and reinstalling windows and a number of different things and the problem still persist. I was using windows 7 and I see that whenever use windows 7 basis the problem seems to be minimal and goes away partially. I wiped my system and did a complete system refresh and the problem was gone until a little while ago. I think the problem is with the amd omega driver or amd drivers on a whole. I will post a picture of the problem and I would like some help and suggestions on how to remove the drivers because from what I understand the drivers are hard to remove. I am currently running windows 8.1 pro from windows 7 ultimate. I really need some fast replies because this problem is driving me crazy. BTW I don't seem to have this problem on start up.

Looks like the GPU is artifacting. Nothing you can do about it.

try increasing the GPU voltage and downclocking the core or mem

I've fixed screen weirdness and lines with just a simple driver update, but sometimes it's just a bad GPU. You could return the APU, or tweak around with the settings, more voltage, even less clock, trying to get it stable.

Do you think I would have the same problem if I bought a new gpu instead of using the one on the cpu. I hate this problem.

Nope, it would be fine.

It only happens when I use a browser and it started with google chrome and I can't return it since I bought it off amazon and I don't live in the us so... more time and trouble than it is worth.

Why since I am only using the cpu and not the igpu

[zappian]

GPU is artifcating , restart pc thats all you can do.

 

Mine artifacts too but it doesnt bother me.

Too lazy for RMA.

Yep

Yep

I don't understand you. Should I buy a gpu like the nvidia gtx 750 no more amd products and not us IGPU on the APU. This bothers me alot since I surf the web alot and I seem to only have the problem while using chrome and in windows and no where else I hardly see the problem outside of chrome firefox and opera however I see different problems i see no problems using IE aside from some words being messed up and jumbled. It was going fine until I updated to the latest drivers after a clean windows 8.1 pro install. Here are snippets of two programs and the second one is google chrome and the second one is amd's raptr app.
