After playing pretty minor online game that doesn't push the system hard at all I get some pixelation mainly on the top and bottom right of the monitor. I also get a white streaks diagonally across the screen pretty often. I have the AMD system monitor up and the machine isn't being pushed hard, this shouldn't be happening. Has anybody had the same issue?
Thanks in advance for any help!
 
That would almost always point to some type of video memory error either defective memory or it just being pushed to hard. First things first, put the video back to stock and see what happens.

Video is at stock that's a factory overclocked ASUS DCII card.

try lowering the ram clocks. if that fixes it, time for an RMA.

if that doesn't fix it....probably still time for an RMA (once you rule out other components)

what sort of cable are you connecting your monitor with? try a few different cables.

U bet. First thing I noticed.....was the overclocking. I did not post cause I am not a gamer and so, felt not qualified.
 
Just to reiterate the graphics card is at stock and so it the computer both have never been overclocked by me, the graphics card is an ASUS DCII factory OC. I took out the 280x and put in an RD 6950 and I’m getting the same problems but not as bad. At first I thought changing the card fixed the problem but some of the symptoms reappeared but quite a bit lower rate. I also installed the most current drivers but still get the same issues, any thoughts?
I’ll try the other cable when I get home today and see if that makes a difference.
Could system memory cause these types of issues?
 
try a different power supply. current psu might not be supplying proper voltages to the video cards.

what is your current PSU?
 
This is the PS I'm using I doubt its being maxed out and I don't have a replacement to match it.

Are you watching your temps, if so what are they at while gaming? I use real temp

Are you running your system off a UPS? If so, make sure to check if there are any known issues between your power supply and the UPS (some UPS models are known not to play well with certain active PFC power supplies and vice versa).

Also, have you tried to remove the video drivers and reinstall them after a reboot? It might also be a good idea to drop back to an older driver revision.
 
Not using a UPS. I used the drivers that came on the disk I then replaced them with more current drivers with very little to no change. I put in my older card and it did seem marginally better but still have the same issue. I don't have an extra DVI-D cable so i as unable to try my other one yesterday. I'll try looking at the temps today when I get home.
