It's a long story but I'll try to keep it short and hopefully you'll all understand my gibberish. This has to do with my video card, the R9 290X Lightning from MSI.
This all started about 4 weeks ago, when I picked up BF1 and noticed that this was happening https://imgur.com/QplUErV - followed by black screening. I noticed that underclocking by ~20% solved the issue, although just in BF1, as I later found out in Titanfall 2 it would black screen regardless.
Fast forward: I filed a direct RMA with MSI. Sent it off and within a day or two MSI shipped a replacement card back to me, a refurb, which I've had in my possession since the 13th.
Card has been great up until today, no problems what so ever. Only until today, after I experienced a BSOD during a BF1 MP match, which I presumed was to do with my overclock on the CPU as I had upped my multiplier a notch and vcore and tested it under p95 (which seemed to be fine for an hour), so I just knocked it back down. Booted right back into windows, jumped back into the game, 5minutes later and the artifacting kicks in, as I saw on my previous card.
Is this a coincidence, could my PSU be involved?
I'm absolutely stumped
My system specs:
4930K @ 4.4GHz (1.310vcore) - Stable for 2 years now (it was at 4.5 when I experienced the BSOD in BF1)
Rampage IV Black Edition
16GB Corsair Dominator 1866MHz
MSI R9 290X Lightning (Stock)
SuperFlower Leadex 1000W Gold
