Hello, i recently upgraded my PC, i was planning to buy a GTX 760 but something came up and
the money for the new card went there. So my specs are the following:

MOBO: Asus Sabertooth Z87
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670k
RAM: Vengeance Pro 16GB(2x8GB) 1866MHz
GPU: Sapphire HD 7770 1GB OC Edition
OS: Windows 7 Professional

Nothing is OCed yet because since the day i build it problems occured. Screen goes black and
after a few seconds is back up. Other times coloured squares appeas , screen freezes , goes
black and after a few secs is back up. Many times after the black screens i'm unable to click on
certain desktop areas. Also in games (mostly League of Legends) strange shapes appear
sometimes for a split second.Last ,but not least, i encountered a BSOD 0x1A error (aka Memory
Management Error) and after that ran Memtest86 for 10hours and no error came up.

Note: My BIOS is already updated to 1405 since i was aware that 1007 has problems and bugs.And i run the last drivers for my graphics card.

Thanks anyway,any suggestions or info would be helpful.
Sorry for any mistakes but English in not my native language

Too much FPS can cause stuttering. This is why V-Sync is preferred. The reason V-Sync isn't liked is that if you drop under 60 FPS, it drops down into the next factor of 60 (So 30 frames, then 20, then 15 etc etc).

At least the main issue has been fixed.

I used to disable V-Sync because usually it was killing my fps.So now if i enable V-Sync and put benchmark fps limit it will be fine again?or should i leave with an fps limit?
Yeap main issue had been fixed,thanks for that ! :D So it was the driver messing up the graphics card, i guess?

Yeah. The reason you probably got low FPS was because of the drivers screwing up. Now that the card is working properly, you are getting extreme amount of frames. 60 is fine, and will save you power and will stop it getting to hot.

Benchmark FPS limit means that there is no V-Sync, as in you are measuring the max and average frames for a benchmark. Just leave it on standard V-SYNC, and it should stick to 60 frames per second.

Alternatively, you can download overclocking software like MSI afterburner, and set up an FPS limiter, which doesn't work quite like V-sync.
