Hi,
This all started when I picked up BF1, booted it up and started playing the campaign.
After ~5mins of playing, this starts to happen https://i.imgur.com/QplUErV.jpg before black screening, then I have to force reset the PC from the tower. What's weird is that this was only occurring when the frame limit was set to 120FPS. I did find that underclocking the card by 20% (both memory and core) actually got rid of the artifacting and the black screening.
Picked up Titanfall 2 also, it's doing the same thing there, regardless of the framelimit (60 or 120) and the artifacting looks exactly the same as it was doing in BF1. It's also worth pointing out that in Titanfall 2, the fans are ramping up to 100% and the temperature was hitting as high as 87c. Under clocking in Titanfall 2 makes no difference either
I've even undone all my CPU overclocking, which has been stable for ~3years now, thinking that might have something to do with it. I've also tried an older driver to no avail.
Specs:
CPU: 4930K @ 4.5GHz [1.260v]
MB: ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition
RAM: Corsair 16GB @ 1866Mhz
GPU: MSI R9 290X Lightning at stock (16.12.1 Driver)
Can anyone think why this might be happening?
