Hello,

Just finished a new build, my first in almost 10 years. Having issues with - I assume - my video card. Everything boots up and runs fine until I open up a game, within minutes I have orange vertical bars on my screen and it crashes. Just need to know where to begin troubleshooting this before I just take the card out and return it. This is my build:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper D92
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate ATX LGA1150
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: HIS Radeon R9 280 3GB IceQ OC Video Card
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 300R Windowed ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair CX 600
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

Thank you for your help
