When i overcklock and start Assassins Creed 4, it shows green squares on some places over the menu and then the monitor goes black and says no signal. Everything is fine when i don't overcklock.
Can you please give any suggestions what might be the cause?

My PC:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20Hz 3.20GHz
RAM: 8 GB
Video card: Ati Radeon 7970 HD
Display: 1080p full HD

look at your gpu. some cards are already factory over clocked. if yours is you may be pushing the card over it stable limits. if it not a over clock card start with the gpu core speed bump it up 1hz slowly. most time gpu cores there set preatry close to there stable speed. the gpu ram you may be able to tweek it. if the gpu is not over clocked then it may be a weak or bad power supply in your rig.

Then don't overclock.

If you really need more fps, buy a stronger more modern card in the first place.

One possibility is that your psu might not be up to delivering the extra power that a higher oc demands.
Exactly what make/model do you have?

Im sure this card is not factory overclocked. How do i know if my power supply is bad? It should be fine because it was changed to a higher wattage one when i bought a new card. I don't know the model of my psu. Do i have to open my case to see that? (Im a girl, don't know much about things like that)
