Hi guys,
I'm having a few issues with my 280x Windforce rev 2 and was looking for a bit of advice.
First problem: When changing resolution or booting up the screen flashes (normal resolution flash) but has a line shoot down the screen. In windows the line is just white but when booting the line is green. It always shows in the same place as well.
Second Problem: I get random screen tearing and flashing textures when playing battlefield hardline. This happens occasionally, it can take a few hours worth of gaming but I find once it starts it doesn't go.
Third issue: When the PC is connected via HDMI to my monitor I get 3 beeps (From mobo speaker, graphics error). The computer still works after these beeps though. EDIT - Turns out this only beeps when connected to my TV and not my monitor. Monitor via HDMI works ok.
Fourth Issue: Random FPS drop down to about 10FPS when playing Hardline. Sometimes it's fine for hours and it usually corrects itself after a bit.
Other games don't seem to suffer as much CS:GO / DOTA 2 but I do get odd textures occasionally on CS:GO. Just black on the floor instead of normal sand (dust 2)
Things I've tried:
*Different monitor
*Different HDMI
*Various Drivers
*Downclocking GPU (factory OC)
*Restoring BIOS to default
*Disabling overlays
*Ran FURMARK
*Ran OCCT
*Ran Heaven / Uniengine (doesn't artifcat)
*Different PCI-E port
*Temps are fine, GPU never peaks past 68
I'm out of ideas... I can RMA it but I don't want them to say "Nope, it's fine!"
Tried running VMT too but I can't seem to work out how to take the 1gb video memory limit off

Any help appreciated
