Well, last night I was using MSI Afterburner, doing really minimal overclocking to my GTX 980. No Vcore upping, just minimal memory/gpu frequency adjustments. Wasn't getting any artifacts etc during any of my tests. I set up 3 different overclocks in profiles in msi, each progressively stronger then the last, but none of them tough on the card and all of them stable.
Anyways, when I was done last night, I reset my card to default settings, shut off MSI (it didn't have autostart ticked) and shut down the PC.
When I booted today, BIOS was perfect, passed it, hit Windows screen and pixelated (medium sized white blocks all over the screen). I had to shut it down manually, booted again, did the same thing. Shut it down the second time, booted perfectly the 3rd time like nothing was wrong.
Since then it's been working perfect, overclocking good, staying cool, gaming good, stressed it with furmark, heaven, 3dmark, no issues out of it what so ever.
Do you guys thing I should send it back to MSI for an RMA or is it safe to keep using? As I didn't even adjust vcore at all on it. I gave it +5 to the line load and that was it.
I would appreciate any and all replies. Thanks!
