Hello community, once again.
So 2 weeks ago I built a new computer, everything was going perfectly until, recently, I've discovered some weird horizontal lines moving vertically on my monitor. This only happens when I'm, for example, playing Battlefield 3 and I'm inside a room or a dark spot with a black background, it also happens if I have set a dark wallpaper for my Windows background. It happens with every game I have, I've tried turning V-Sync On, but it stays the same. Could this be a problem with my monitor? I have a Samsung SyncMaster B2230, bought it 2 years ago, so it's not that old. I hope someone is able to help me with this. As I said, my PC is brand new. I also have, at least 1 lag spike, when I start a game on Steam (it only happens with games on Steam such as Payday 2, I run Crysis 3 on Origin at Ultra Settings with no lag spikes whatsoever, same goes for Battlefield 4 Beta). Sorry for the long post, I just hope that someone can help me figure this out, I have my GPU drivers up to date as well.
NOTE: I'm using a VGA to DVI adapter that came with the GPU, as I didn't have the opportunity to buy the DVI version of the same monitor (they didn't sell it here). Could that be the problem?
Here's my rig:
-Intel Core i7 4770K CPU (stock settings, haven't overclocked yet);
-be quiet! Dark Rock 2 CPU Cooler;
-Asus Z87 Sabertooth Motherboard;
-EVGA Geforce GTX 780 GPU (stock settings as well);
-Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB RAM @1600MHz;
-Corsair AX 860 80+ Platinum PSU;
-Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB SSD (Windows only, I'm using Windows 8);
-Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB HDD (all my games are installed in this drive).
EDIT: I'm not sure if this is a repost, for some reason I can't find my previous post about this on the forums.
