Hi all! Thanks for stopping by.
I have a strange problem, during a Diablo 3 session some days ago I suddenly got red dots on my screen, mostly dark areas. I quit the game but still, the red dots remained on my desktop as well. First thought was artifacts as I was running 1150/7800 on both my 780Ti cards so (no cards are above 70 degree during benchmark) I went back to default clock but it didn't remove the artifacts,
Just after a restart the artifacts went away. I didn't care to OC my cards again at this point as I thought it was the OC that made the red dots appear but then some time later during Wargame AirlandBattle session the red dots appeared again on default clock. Same deal, quit the game and the red dots was still there on desktop and then, restarted the game and the dots went away. Then I started to play Battlefield 4 and after 2 days of playing, no red dots at all. Started up wargamr and then the red dots came again. Tried to switch position of the videocard on the PCI-E slot and just running single GPU but yeah, dots came back....
Then i tired to un-install nvidia drivers, doing a Driver Sweep in Safely Mode and then installed 331.93 again. Strange thing, just after installing the 331.93 (where it tells you to restart the computer) the red dots came back not being in a game at all!
Its really strange, I can do a Heaven/Vally benchmark while prime95 is running in the background for hours without these red dots but some games triggers it. I did read that you need to check Anti Aliasing and Anti-Filtering settings for each game in the nVidia control panel and set these at "Controlled by Program" and these were allready set.
Any ideas? Broken GPU? Broken motherboard? Windows8/Driver problems?
This is my hardware.
