need more details, system specs, what game are you attempting to play?

 

My problem is that when i play more graphically intensive games my screen goes to a random colour and whatever audio is playing at the time starts to shudder. there is no other way i can get out of this besides turning off my computer. Please help!

I'm having the same problem. Finished my system a few days ago and everything worked fine. Then I overclocked everything and it was stable. Then everything started crashing (red screen of death in graphically intense games). I turned everything back to default speeds and they still crash. Drivers are all up to date (just downloaded them all on Friday). Started to get pretty frustrating now that I can't even play bf4 or bioshock inf for more than 10 minutes without the games crashing and restarting my computer even after I changed my cpu and gpu back to default speeds.

Wanted to update, in case it helps op

 

I read online on other forums that people found a fix to this problem by downloading AMD's beta drivers. I had their latest non-beta drivers so I switched to beta. Unfortunately it didn't fix the red-screen crashes for me.

Then I found on my system that my i7's integrated graphics did not have the appropriate driver. So I updated that from Intel's site. Then I updated my PCI Simple Communications Controller driver from Intel's site, as well, because that had a driver error showing up too when I was exploring my system. After both of those, I haven't seen a red-screen crash yet, but will update if it does and I find a "new fix".

 

On a side note, it was mine was never cause by temps. Never see temps go above 65 on my GPU and 80 on my CPU when stress testing either.

 

EDIT- nope didn't help. Still crashing with a red screen. May just have to wipe the system, reinstall windows, and start from scratch...
