Often, typically while playing games (this seldom happens on the desktop), my screen will begin to glitch like this. Then my computer will crash. It sucks, and is driving me nuts.
*scenario a* I can usually alt tab out of the game to the desktop to prevent a crash.
I have tried swapping the card into a different PCIexpress slot.
I have also used the other set of PSU cords (12v?).
Sometimes after the computer crashes, it will not post boot.
Sometimes if the screen begins to flicker and I feel a crash about to come, I can reach into my tower and wiggle the card a little bit. Sometimes this will delay/stop the crash from happening. Sometimes it does nothing.
*scenario b* And... SOMETIMES (maybe once or twice) the card has recovered from a crash similar to the one in the video above.
The screen will also flicker like that shortly after booting (while displaying the windows splash screen)
In GPU-Z it shows that my GPU Core Clock, GPU Memory Clock, and VDDC all spike at the same time. Here are screen shots of GPU-Z after scenario a: one, two, three, and four. Here are screen shots of GPU-Z after scenario b: one and two.
I have searched around quite a bit, and haven't been able to find any similar issues.
Here are my computer specs:
