Hi all:)

I have a built a new computer about 2 months ago and ive had this issue with playing world of warcraft ever since.

i am not sure what causes this but whenever i play it can be fine and suddenly it starts to flicker all over the screen going all black/white/grey and blinks and flickers really bad whenever i move my camera view.

in order for it to work again i have to exit the game and restart it.

its really annoying as this happends alot during 1 day, i dont have any problems on any other games or when im using my computer.

whenever this issue is happening the graphic heat is around 65 celsius, is this to much?

My computer specc is this:

If VGA, use DVI/HDMI or a quality vga cable

Is the BIOS of the mainboard up to date? Never flash in Windows, update directly in BIOS/UEFI itself.

try other video cable

do you use adapter from DVI to VGA?

up to date drivers installed for the R9 270x from AMD.com?

test with another monitor/TV

which monitor are you using?
