i got a problem with my pc and i think it's the gpu. when i watch a video on youtube my screen makes weird horizontal gray black lines with a black background. the lines are moving a bit.i had this problem for 1 week and then it stopped and just worked normally but since last saturday it's doing the weird stuff again.
i tried: other monitor
different drivers: 13.12, 14.1, 14.2, 14.3
different gpu: r9 270 and hd 4600 (i7 4770k), with the hd 4600 i can watch videos.
I would check your cables and connections first. Try swapping cables around to see if your can isolate the problem to the cables. If your using vga cables, Try using the dvi or hmdi or display cables instead. Get rid of any vga cables if possible.
i used different cables, different pc and stil the same problem. i don't get it with every youtube video. it's random when starting the video. maybe it's a plugin? i use firefox stock but i can switch to opera. the home screen also flikkers a bit so i think my gpu is pretty shitty atm. i got a 2 year warranty on my card but i oc pretty far which can be the issue. i run it stock clocks now and i still got the problems. i may install windows 7 pro again but i don't have time know and when i have time i'm gonna try linux mint and arch linux so maybe that solves the problem.
i had it on an other pc aswell sadly. i'm using opera now and i don't have it atm. the weird flickereing is random, not with every video. youtube isn't my only problem. when i'm browsing the webpages split in 2 pieces sometimes when scrolling en when typing i get some weird horizontal white lines. i think i'm gonna mail msi for help and maybe a new gpu. can it be amd drivers? i tested a lot of drivers 13.12 14.1 14.2 14.3 on windows 7 64bit pro. for me there is only 1 option and that's amd, opencl.
Did you overclock the card? Sounds like the card is bouncing between clock speed. I had that problem with the msi afterburner because I forgot to completely delete preivous settings.
Sounds similar to what I had with my GTX 560. It started with horizontal lines not making all the way across and then after a few months this.

Now it will be one of 2 things. The PCIe port on your computer or your GPU itself.
Try moving the GPU into the second PCIe 16x slot and if that dosent fix it then its probably your GPU. Call the place you got it from and then get it replaced under warranty. I waslucky when my 560's ability to display to 1080p, I was a week away from buying a GTX 780
Overclocking is not necessarily the problem. Cards fail all the time. They have safeguards so that if you do overclock the card, You will be unlikely to kill it. Reason why EVGA can provide a warrenty that covers damage from overclocking. Unless OP flashed a new bios and forced an ungodly amount of voltage through the card, It was not the OC that directly killed it. Even a hard OC on air with bad cooling wont kill a card as they will throttle themselfs before frying.
I have pushed a sub par GTX 780 600MHz over stock clock with the memory OC'd 1,300MHz over stock. With the maximum physical voltage possible from the 2 8 pins and PCIe bus. Somewhere around 300 Watts of energy. Well beyond spec and if I believed what people said, My card should be dead? Rather it outperforms a GTX 780 TI ACX with a moderate OC. Sure it nudges 96 degrees but Silicon does not melt anywhere near those temps. The biggest risk is i think around about 113 degrees. maybe 133. Not sure where the silicon becomes conductive. Thats when chips die leading to shorting the whole MOBO.
If OP's card died, It was a poorly binned chip and I doubt it would have lasted the average life expectancy.
Sounds like what happened with my 560Ti. First it started out as horizontal lines during youtube, after that it started showing up in games as a chess board of inverted colors filling up the entire screen, then it appeared on the desktop and finally a checkerboard of lines all over the screen during POST. Finally the card just died and I tossed it into a corner. Reading around the forums, people were saying that it's a sign of the VRAM going bad.
I would RMA if the problem shows up in another rig
it doesnt look like that. but at 0.06, looking at the middel window you see black and grey lines, i have that when watching a video on youtube. the screen is completely filled with those lines and i can't see the browser or any other thing on screen except the lines. i'm on 1080p 144hz btw, tried a 1680x1050 60-75?? hz moniter and got the same results.
Mine runs underclocked most of the time as there is no need for more than 3 times the frequency of your screen in FPS. As long as triple bus is working then I dont need all the power.
I think with MSI your better off going through the resaler that you got your card from. The card should have come with some info on RMA when you got it. Otherwise just go to the MSi website and go through their support channels. Their much better than asus.
i read some rma and alot had problems and didn't got there card/laptop back cuz they lost it. i'm pretty sure the card goes to poland and then they say i never send one to them or it's still shipping. hope the shop where i bought will help me first.
????? I really need more gpu power and 1200mhz is not even enough for me. i play bf4 at 150fps which i like, but i have some huge frame drops on some maps with a lot of effects. i have a 144hz for a reason:) i may upgrade to a better gpu but i don't know what card i need. i'm starting with light video and photo editing soon and blender works with opencl i believe. i saw some benchmarks were amd cards were really really bad with gaming but the opencl is soo much better on amd.
