Well, today I've been getting these issues with a few games. I've tried source games (TF2, CSGO, DOTA2) and I also tried Borderlands 2 as well as Crysis 1.
I had some screen stretching going on in DOTA 2. I started playing fine, and then 10-15 minutes into the match I started getting the stretching, and my game would just hide itself completely. I could still hear certain game noises, but the game was hidden and would not allow me to resume play so I'd have to end the task.
In TF2, loading times were exceptionally long. I waited and wait, and then finally when I got in, the game had green tints to every model as well as artifacts. I closed TF2 down then reopened, and the menus were all blue instead of normal colors.
I tried Borderlands 2 several times, and the game would immediately start me off with black dots everywhere on screen. They weren't huge, but they were everywhere. As soon as I got to a Skag, I shot my rockets at him, and wham, my game locks up completely. I get a black scree, and then I was booted back to my desk with the game hidden like before with just some environmental sound from Borderlands 2. I tried several times, and it resulted in the same exact thing.
Crysis, well, it just didn't work. Let's leave it at that. :l
Anyway, I'm running Windows 8 Enterprise Eval. I'm on day 45 of my eval, and I've never once experienced this problem or anything related. I've always been able to play my games just fine until today.
I reinstalled the drivers several times. I updated drivers several times. I ran driver sweeper to get any residual files. I even reverted back to older drivers. The issue still persists... :l
Specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 (I have mine OC'd to 3.8, but I put it back to 3.2 and the issue persisted)
MSI 560 Ti
12 GB RAM
Windows 8 eval (day 45)
My friend and I are thinking it's a memory issue that's causing the game to have a huge usage resulting in these stretches and crashes.
I'm thinking of RMAing the card out come Monday. What say everyone?
