Hi. I recently purchased a new PSU and GFX card...Corsair CX600M and MSI Radeon R280 X card.
It worked fine for a month or two, then all of a sudden my entire screen went a weird fuzzy multicolour. When i restarted it, after the post screen i get the 8 blue dots/dashes at the top left of the screen, then a strip no wider than a few millimeters goes across the whole of the top of the screen in some kinda rainbow multicolour static.
After re-installing windows i thought i had fixed the problem, only for it to keep re-occurring again and again. I can usually get into windows after by doing a system restore but there is still something very wrong with my system.
I have tried MEMtest and the windows diagnostic for the RAM. all tests have passed. I have performed repeated stress tests on the GFX card and the CPU and they pass them (no crashes).
I have done a diagnostic on my SSD and the corsair app says its fine.
I am really at a loss as to what to do and have been battling with these problems for the last few weeks. My FPS is no-where near what it used to be in games, and my system has become sluggish.
If anyone has any ideas on how i can diagnose this problem i would be extremely grateful as this is really bugging me now...
Thanks in advance.
