I bought a EVGA SSC 660ti some months back. Since then it has been causing problems and I think its due to windows 8 being a bad person. I can only play games it minimal settings ( I only play hardware-easy games anyway like league of legends, Diablo 3, dota....). This is weird because im sure that my PC can run these games at max details. Whenever i switch the settings to max my screen goes crazy( i can only explain it like that). Blue lines, blue dots, shapes, black screens and many different things flash around and then I either get a windows 8 error message in pink with blue lines or my PC is done for the day. I dont know whats causing this. Here is my full spec sheet:

CPU: Amd fx-4100
CPU cooling: Antec Kühler h2o 920
Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5
RAM: 12 GB corsair vengeance at 1600
PSU: corsair AX750
HDD: WD Black 500GB
GPU: EVGA SSC 660ti
Case: Antec One ( Ill upgrade soon -_-)
Monitor: Asus 24 normal LCD


All my drivers are the newest drivers from the websites. Please help me.

Yeaaaaaahhhhh that sounds like a hardware problem rather than anything else. Best thing is to stick a mate's graphics card in to see if the same issues happen, but I'd just sent it back and get a replacement.
