Problem: When I launch some 3D applications (specifically occuring with Dota2 and more recently with Starcraft 2) the game will go through the menu, launch, and then when it gets in to the game the screen will do one of two or three things.
The most common is a flicker, that will come back to a black screen with audio, but no video. The second most common, which mainly occured in WoW, though not every time it was run, but much more rarely. I get a checkerboard pattern, or complete loss of texture, followed by the black flicker and program crash. Lastly, some times the screen simply locks up and the program crashes.
Steps taken to correct the issue: I am running the most current drivers and have updated every iteration since I purchased the card, no changes at all between drivers. The video card was RMA'd to gigabyte: they found nothing wrong and sent it back. I have changed power settings, it actually crashed more and on more applications when the power was changed to 'prefer maximum performance' the video card is currently sitting in the second PCI-E slot in my motherboard, it crashed more frequently in the first slot. I've changed the RAM speed around, it is most stable at 1866mhz
Ideas: Motherboard, or here is my other theory: Logitech gaming software. I have noticed the OpenGL driver crashes for that application any time a game crashes. Some googling has revealed other people may have had the problem. Any suggestions?
i took a video and uploaded it to give you guys a better idea of what this looks like. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb7mjjn0oR4[/ame]
