Hi There,
Im wondering if you could help me with a problem I first encountered back in March after I recently purchased a new machine. The graphics card I bought was a Powercolor AMD 6870 as budget was an issue and I figured I could always upgrade later.
The problem I had was that whilst playing certain games (Day-Z and Payday in particular) the screens I had connected (2 X LG Flatrons) would, what I can only describe as "fritz" and the screen would move and go out of sync. This was always cured by a system reset but after a while became really annoying.
The strange part is that this only happened on certain games (sometimes I work from home and run apps such as MS office, Chrome and Adobe CS all day without this happening) and even then the fault appeared to be intermittent.
I tried to explain what happened to my friends who are quite techy, but describing it is difficult, made even more so by the fact that when you use the print screen function the image appears normal. I tried all sorts to identify the problem, I used HDMonitor which told me that temps and voltage were fine, I went down to one monitor and then onto the other monitor in isolation but it was very difficult to trigger the glitch.
Whats even stranger is when this happens and I reboot, this tends not to happen again regardless of the game Im playing.
Eventually I gave up and as mentioned previously upgraded to a GTX680 which, since installing, I have not encountered that glitch.
Despite me solving the problem by throwing money at it, I wondered if anyone else had experienced the same problem as I just cant seem to understand why it would do it and its bugging me
