Textures flickering,disappearing

Go to solution Solved by VulcanAndroid,

I know right and it was the cpu after all that caused the flickering, now everything works just fine!

But I got a bit worser OC results from 4.7ghz to 4.5ghz

Gotta take the good with the bad. At least you can game without flickering.

Recently my pc started acting strange by flickering all over the place in windows 10,in all games(textures are flickering and disappearing),I have tried changing the motherboard,reinstalling OS,changed hard drives,disabled overclock on cpu and downgraded GPU's drivers with DDU but the problem is still there even in safe mode,I have tried using the integrated gpu as primary display by enabling it in bios and it didn't fixed the issue

PC specs:

Motherboard:Asus z170p-d3

Ram:G.skill 16gb ddr3 1333mhz

Cpu:i5 6600k @4.7ghz

PSU:Seasonic G-650w gold

GPU:MSI R9 390 at stock speed

But the way the tempatures while gaming are 60°c on cpu and 75°c on gpu so unlikely it's caused by the tempatures.

The talos principle(happening in all games)

Any help will be appreciated!

Umm actually no,but I did disabled it from bios and made the integrated gpu as primary and the dvi-d cable was connected to the integrated gpu

Just to complete ly rule it out. remove the GPU entirely and see if it makes any difference.

The only thing we have to fear is... Stupidity...

Ok so just now i removed the gpu  completely as you told me and connected the integrated gpu, and it didn't solved the issue.

There are ui glitches all over the place and insane flickering in games same as before.

So definitely it's not a gpu problem.

Alright. Only in games or on the windows desktop as well? Also, have you checked you CPU? Its possible that due to the fragile nature of Skylake processors you could have a damaged chip.

Windows desktop as well,what do you mean by saying fragile nature of skylake processors?and which way I need to check the cpu?.

Here within the past couple months there have been reports of skylake chips "bending" and even breaking under the pressure of the heat sink. I don't know if the problem you are experiencing is a result of this or not, but it is a possibility.

To my knowledge the only 2 possible culprits left are the motherboard or the CPU.

Last time I took the cpu out like was 2 days ago it wasn't bent and the issue started around one week ago and I swapped the motherboard for the same model so it can't be the motherboard.

I have found something interesting when I run Intel processor diagnostic tool,the cpu has failing at floating point test take a look.

I know this issue, on my PC it happens when my CPU starts throttling.

I reapplied thermal paste to prevent the CPU from heating it, and that fixed it.

I see but the only thing is that I have applied a new thermal paste like two days ago and my cpu never throtteles.

Should be fine.

My CPU reaches 55/60 degrees, starts throttling at 65 and becomes unusably slow at 75. I've set it to do that in BIOS.

But the way does this problem (http://m.imgur.com/R647aIp) indicates that I need to RMA the cpu and it's the cause of the flickering?

It does appear that way. If Intel's CPU diagnostic tool is saying there is a failure I'd say its time to return the chip.

Yeah

Strange, I've never seen a CPU partially fail. Usually it's "if works", or "it doesn't work"

I've never seen "it works kinda" with CPU's

True.

You should RMA the chip while you still have warranty.

I already did ,the shop I bought from took it for testing under warranty,they will contact me on Sunday,I hope they will find that something is wrong with it and they will replace it.
