I just bought and put together a gaming rig with Gigabyte R9 280 and i5-4590(http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2dJcgs). I am using a HDMI as well, to a LCD TV 40" TCL(http://www.amazon.com/TCL-L40FHDF12TA-40-Inch-2-Year-Wa...).

When I first hooked up my GPU I used the molex to 6 pin and molex to 8 pin adapters, not realizing my PSU had 6 and 8 pin so I didn't need the adapters(lol). This has made the problem a lot less severe, and hadn't seen any issues until a few minutes ago I was watching a video and it appeared again, but went away when I took the video out of full screen and then put it back in full screen.
I'm thinking maybe it is a PSU issue, but not sure(thinking maybe i needed more than 550w?). I am using Catalyst 14.4, but I disabled it from starting up at the same time I changed my molex adapters. I just built my PC 2 days ago, so I am trying to find a fix for this..
I was also having similar pixel issues in Sniper Elite 3 and was running CCC and the Raptr AMD gaming app, but disabled those from starting up with the PC at the same time as changing the molex adapters.I also turned off dynamic backlight and light sensor on my TV. I have used different HDMI cords.
I just had the problem in steam full screen as well.
I have changed the text from the recommended largest size to the smallest through control panel as well. I cannot play videos in the steam store unless it is this way.

BUMP

I uninstalled Catalyst 14.4 and tried 14.7, but it seemed to make things worse. It also said Radeon 7900 series in my Device Manager when I had 14.7 installed, instead of Radeon R9 2xx series which it says now that I went back to 14.4. Is this a problem with my GPU and I need to send it back? AND yes Raptr seems to make it worse as well.
