Try updating your graphics drivers, I had the same problem in the past with an AMD card and it was fixed by doing that.

numanator :

It's on the 14.6 Beta drivers.

Then roll back to the non-beta

Can't think of anything else it could be.

Awesom3GamerA3G · Jun 17, 2014

I'll switch back to 14.4 again. Never had this kind of problem before.

numanator :

I rolled back to 14.4 and it's still happening. Worried here. I also tried FEZ which not only was poorly cropped, it had an odd artifacting-like effect whenever I alt-tabbed and resumed back. REEEEALLLY hope my card's not fried or anything, I have MSI Afterburner to check CPU and GPU temps and control the fans.

Double check the temps though I doubt it would be overheating right from the start. Return everything to stock clocks (if you overclocked anything) and double check that your GPU is firmly seated and has the power connections it needs.

When you uninstalled the beta drivers did you run a driver sweeper or something similar to get rid of any driver fragments left over? That is also something to try.

numanator :

Going to try to use a driver sweeper to fully uninstall the beta drivers, and then I'll reinstall 14.4 again. Really hope my computer's not screwed up too badly. I was just playing Bioshock on it last weekend, too.

Awesom3GamerA3G · Jun 17, 2014

numanator :

Rolled back and now everything works. Leave it to the drivers to go and screw everything up!

Awesom3GamerA3G · Jun 17, 2014

Wait, it still didn't get fixed. It gets to the title screen and crashes.

numanator · Jun 17, 2014

Out of curiosity, do you have your CPU overclocked? May want to try bringing everything to its default settings (CPU and GPU) and see if that works.

Awesom3GamerA3G · Jun 18, 2014

numanator :

Everything is at stock clocks.

Awesom3GamerA3G · Jun 18, 2014

numanator :

Everything is at stock clocks.

numanator · Jun 18, 2014

Do you have another computer (or a friends computer) that you can test the GPU on? If it has problems on both computers then its a problem with the card. Is it still in the manufacturers warranty period for RMA?
