Hi guys,
I have been having troubles recently involving artifacting.
I play Elder Scrolls Online quite frequently, and this is when these troubles began. I installed RadeonPro, and used SweetFX in conjunction with Elder Scrolls Online. I thought this was my issue, alas, it was not.
A week after installing/using SweetFX, I began getting artifacting, flashing, random blue boxes popping up (small boxes), the text boxes were flashing -- it was bad. At first, I thought my graphics card was dying -- however, my laptop is about 5-6 months old (purchased late October, last year.)
This is my laptop:

Except mine has no BlueRay, and 8GB RAM rather than 12.
So, after having these problems in Elder Scrolls Online, I tried several other games. It seemed the more graphically intense, the more extreme the problems were. Dialing down the graphics reduced the issues.
Then, I decided to start from the bottom and work up. First thing I tried, using a recovery point. (I know, I know..) But believe it or not -- it worked........for a week. Then, randomly, it began happening again. I immediately recovered to the same point. (A point prior to installing RadeonPro, and I never reinstalled RadeonPro -- so that is seemingly not the cause.) Problem solved..again. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it begins happening again.
Anyone ever heard of anything like this? Strikes me as extremely odd. The strangest part is that it happens just like this: Playing the game at night. All is well. Turn off the computer. Later on the next day, turn the computer on, start the game, and it starts artifacting once again.
Any insight would be very appreciated..thanks in advance guys!
