OC Fail?

Goldensapling · March 29, 2015

So I have a R9 270 overclocked to Afterburner normal limit, and this happens sometimes. This happened twice today whilst just doing some YouTube browsing. It doesn't affect my second monitor, so I don't know why it would be OC failure. Help?

you when to high with your OC

reset it

go bit by bit and test to be sure the OC is stable

a bad overclock will cause distortion, failures throught, not just one monitor, most likeley its gonna be one of three things:

failing monitor

bad cable

bad port on gpu (unlikely)

follow these steps.

first switch the connections on the GPU side, (connect monitor one where monitor 2 is connected ect.).

if the problem is still showing on the same monitor than the monitor or cable is failing, try a known good cable before deciding the monitor is bad.

if the problem is now in the other monitor then the port and/or GPU is failing. if under warranty then get call them up. if not under warranty you can still try using the other ports granted your monitor supports them. if not then im sorry but your GPU is going to need to bereplaced.
