Hi, I was getting at first place some problems because some white squared just appear and disappear of the screen really quickly, I fix it by opening a window *genius*(overheating). But then, I tries to play again, to see if it was fixed. I opened the game, load my save, and when the sound from the game(from my current load) started to sound(I still see the loading scree) It just crashes and gives me the error of:Application has been blocked from accessing graphic hardware . I have updated drivers and clean installing them.

I have:
Asus GTX 980
Intel i7 6700k(Non-OC)
32Gb Ram DDR4 2133hz
Asus z170-Deluxe
Windows 10 Pro

What worked for me was underclocking it up to 90-95%

I have tried unigen benchmark, something else happens, the screen starts to get black for an instant and goes good again, this also happen sometimes in ccertain parts of the screen, but no of above worked, there is also new white spots randomly appearing. Could be a problem with the graphics card?
 


Same as overclocking. You use the same tools but you lower the clock rates. This is a long shot (so you know). But your gfx card is having the same sorts of symptoms I sometimes see in cards overclocked to far.

I still have warranty, 2 and a half years left of warranty, would changing the graphics card fix it? It would not be a oc card
 

Most factory OC cards have very mild overclocks; and so their life is not shortened by very much. I would not be worried about running a factory OC card. I would guess that a replacement card would solve this for you. The graphics anomalies as soon as you switch modes (during the title screen) is the best clue that it is in fact the GFX card.

Thanks a lot, I cannot put the message because one is already, I underclock it to 95% and it went, Some flickering some times, but just like 1 second and gone por some minutes, I think I will change to another graphics card, I will take the warranty and get my money back and try to get a 980ti. Do you recomend me EVGA?

 


EVGA is a good brand. I own a EVGA 970 gtx. For my main machine I use a ZOTAC 980ti with a factory overclock (the factory overclocks are cherry picked parts).
The only big brand I am a little grumpy with is ASUS. Their x99 motherboard I own should never had made it past QA.
