Ok I had a second to run home, just ran it twice. Both time got some colors popping up, at the very end got some very large green colors popping up before it crashed.

I uninstalled Precision X and restarted before I ran this test. I don't have any other sort of overclocking program such as afterburner. I never attempted to OC the GPU, ever.

Well there you go. Precision X is overclocking software. Now that it is gone, your card should not have anomalies. If it has issues at stock...well....it shouldn't.

Since your GPU is apparently still having issues, as a last resort you can run your CPU and RAM at stock settings. I'm 99.9% sure that the RAM or CPU would not cause graphical artifacts, that is nearly always a GPU overclocking issue.

Failing that, you could reinstall windows from scratch. Maybe the installation is borked......

I tried underclocking as previously mentioned. With -30 MHz on the GPU Clock Offset everything works fine...??

The GPU can't handle the factory overclock, plain and simple. Green flashes in Heaven are a direct result of overclocks that are too high.

Either be happy with a slightly detuned 680 SOC, or try to RMA.

Now, blackened might be mad at you because you seem to have reinstalled Precision X to set a negative offset, but hey, at least you found the problem.

It's not the CPU, it's not the RAM, it's not the PSU, it's not the motherboard. It's the overclock. But honestly, -30 on that card is still really high, so if I were you, I'd just accept it and be happy. You still got a good deal.

Yeah we talked on the phone and i went thru all the trouble shooting with him.

Im sorry it has to be down clocked i was running SLI and this card was my #2 and i did not have this issue in SLI.. Must be getting stressed alot harder as a single card..

However 20-30mhz is like 1/2 a fps not a big deal... There is also flashing the Msi lightings Bios onto the card and unlocking full voltage control..

You have my # if u have any issues feel free to call and ill help u the best i can.
