I'm not sure this is proper section, but i will make it here.

My pc:
EVGA Geforce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0+
Intel Core i5 3350P
Kingston DDR3 2x4GB
SSD GOODRAM Iridium Pro 240GB (with Windows 10)
HDD Western Digital WD5003Azex 500GB
Motherboard MSI B75A-G43

I have texture pop ins (texture is changing to bigger resolution, when i move backwards it changes to lower resolution), sometimes shimmering and jagged edges. Changing detail level doesn't fix it, i have it in games like Titanfall 2, Vindictus, Advanced Warfare, PA Titans.
And the strangest thing is, that when ssd is disconnected, and system is installed on hdd, everything works perfect. When ssd is connected, and system is installed on ssd, everything is not working. SSD is not broken, because beside games it works fine. Installing games on ssd doesn't help.

It's happening in:

  • Darksiders II Remaster (jagged edges and pop ins)
    Insurgency (only shimmering and jagged edges)
    Titanfall 2 (pop ins)
    PA Titans (pop ins and jagged edges)
    Space Engineers (jagged edges and pop ins)
    Starbound (long chunk loading)
    Vindictus (pop ins)
    CoD Advanced Warfare (jagged egdes and pop ins)
    Rise of The Tomb Raider (jagged edges, shimmering, pop ins)
First Assault Online is probably working normally, because all issues (like shimmering and disappearing shadows) are appearing in youtube videos and even in official developers stream.
I believe Ori and the Blind Forest and Witcher 3 is working normally too.
I have not tested more games.

I'm thinking about installing system on hdd and selling ssd.

I don't think it will help, i have Titanfall 2 installed on ssd, so "near" driver, and nothing changed. And i don't know how to install driver on hdd (disk d). Drivers are automatically installing on disk c (so ssd for me).

I think maybe motherboard can't function properly when ssd is installed. As i said, when only hdd is connected, everything is perfect. When ssd is connected too, beside graphical issues, sometimes one fan (probably power supply or drives) sometimes randomly turns off (not if i'm playing games). I have to turn it on via speed fan. The same fan turns off faster than the whole computer if i'm turning pc off (this fan is turning off first, after 2-3 seconds whole computer is turning off)

ohh... your original post said everything except games is working fine. If that is the case then it is most definitely the ssd and I would not plug it back in at all because it is most likely causing some kind of shortage. It could even possibly be the port on yourr motherboard

Port on motherboard is probably fine, because now it's connected on previous hdd sata slot (1). Maybe i should check different power supply slots?
Edit
It has changed nothing, now only black screen before logo lasts for 20-30 seconds (before it lasted 1-2 seconds).

Ok now i have system on hdd, everything is working perfectly, fans are right etc. System is working a bit slower, but it's normal on hdd.
Problem is i had the same ssd before for a week, and there were the same problems. It got broken so i replaced it by warranty, new ssd is working to today, but i have the same problems. Maybe my motherboard is not working properly with ssd?

As i said Goodram Iridium Pro 240GB. Sata port is right because i have my hdd connected to sata 1 now and it's working. Maybe i will leave this ssd for now, if i will change my motherboard maybe it will work.
