Hey everyone, I recently upgraded my computer; and I'm having some problems with some of the new/old components.
Firstly I have 8GB of patriot 2133Mhz RAM, and when I try to set the timings & frequency in the bios to overclock it, it keeps setting back to 1866Mhz (I'm using a MSI Gaming 970 AMD motherboard), I have tried lots of things including setting different timings to what my RAM manufacturer recommends, using the AMD & Intel version of XMP & setting different voltages & frequency's. None have worked so far & I can't seem to find a solution so If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
Secondly my desktop has been having strange glitches recently, they are small anomalies that appear in the same place & are exactly the same size everytime I see them; I added 2 MSI Gaming R9 270X's in crossfire to my system with a 750W PSU & since then these problems have been occurring. I have tried upgrading to the beta drivers & down grading to the older ones, which again hasn't worked. Another thing is everytime I try to screenshot them to add them to this forum post I get an image that doesn't contain the glitches. I am looking for advice on anything I can do to solve this problem, anything would help.
Crossfire has been causing me alot of problems recently, so I think I'll sell the 2 cards and by a single one in the near future, so if anyone can recommend a card for around £300 it would be appreciated; but until then I would like to try and solve the problem.
Thanks for any help that you provide.
