Starting 3 days ago, when I play League of Legends or WoW, I get these flashing black "triangular stretched out lines" on my screen. They rapidly flash about the screen until the program eventually freezes and crashes (not responding). I thought that maybe my (incredibly old) HDD was causing the problem, so I replaced it and did a clean install of Windows. Same issue. PSU is brand new (a month). GPU is a few years old.
Relevant Specs:
OS: Windows 8 Pro
CPU: Intel i7 3770 @3.4GHz
GPU: EVGA GTX 660 @2GB (never goes above 75 degrees C)
PSU: Corsair HX750i
HDD: Seagate 1TB
I've reseated the graphics card and all connections, done a full clean install on the new HDD with both new and old graphic drivers, and have toyed with different computer settings, yet the problem persists. This ONLY happens when the game is maxed out settings, and never when a game is on minimum settings.
After installing the new HDD, I got an error saying that "The graphic driver stopped responding but successfully recovered," an error that I had not received on the old HDD with this problem. The rest of the computer itself still operates normally.
I'm almost certain that I have to replace this card... but before I shell out $300+, I'd like to ask your guys' opinions. Thank you for any help you can provide!
