Hi, so I just recently built a new PC using my old motherboard and CPU along with new hardware such as a PSU, and GPU, but I have a feeling my graphics card is faulty. I mostly play League of Legends and have been getting weird graphical bugs on the map and sometimes the entire game conks out and gives me a black screen then brings me back into game. It has also happened when I play Hitman: Absolution. It seems to occur most when something happens in game such as doors opening to an entirely different scene.
Sorry if the problem isn't that descriptive, but any possible solutions?
System: CPU: AMD FX 4100
GPU: MSI AMD Radeon R9 280x
PSU: Corsair RM850
Mobo: Asus M5A78L-M

Yeah kitty, I think you're right, I did get that often whilst playing Hitman: Absolution, haven't played it since fixing the vertical sync thing on League of Legends though... also I can't printscreen it because it the gpu artifacts don't appear when I do. Hopefully they bring out a driver update soon, overclockers said that they are trying to.
