So the red dot problem has reemerged...I'm really worried that it is indicative of a potentially disastrous issue. Here is a picture of what I'm referring to: http://imgur.com/a/5Kov0 Please advise!

GPU: GTX 980ti Processor: i5-4690k (right now at 3.5 GHz) I've got 2 sticks of 4GB DDR3 ram (so a total of 8gb ram) 750W Corsair power supply Hitachi 1tb hard drive For my network connection I'm using an ASUS PCE-N53 300Mbps 11n Dual band wireless PCI-E card Thank you for the responses so far...

Hello everyone, This is my problem: in game lag. I can, for example, watch HD youtube videos with no problems, but when I try to play games like BF4, WoW, or DOTA 2 I get a bunch of nasty, choppy lag. Here are the results of my latest speed test: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4782633374 ...

The blue streaks/dots are gone now that I've used the installer you recommended. Thank you again for the help. I'm just getting (what I presume is) internet lag to take care of. My power supply is a 750 W Corsair unit. My GPU temps are around 75-79 C. One thing I noticed when I took the GPU out...

The computer is doing it a light amount. The real issue, however, is more micro-stuttering. The stuttering is not nearly as egregious as before and my games are mostly playable. I don't think it's lag because I'm typically at 70-100 ping. What happens is I'll be running around doing my thang...

Any ideas about the blue distortions?

The red dots/distortions are also occasionally blue...they appear in games and sometimes on my desktop. Is this a problem with my GPU?

I flipped the switch and I'm getting 60ish fps in SC2. The gameplay is also not choppy like it was before. I still have to test BF4, but I think my SC2 result means that BF4 should play fine. A new issue, however, has arisen. There's all sorts of red dots and a few red streaks across my display...

Ok, I'll try changing the slow mode booting switch to the other option.

This is my board: MSI Z97A GAMING 7 LGA 1150 Intel Z97. I didn't realize a board operating at maximum capacity would be greater than 800Mhz. Do you know what a more standard/acceptable reading is? In the picture in your post, there's a direct power mode option for onboard audio and an option...

My power settings in windows were not in power saving mode. The settings were set at high performance. The minimum and maximum processor states are both set at 100%. I checked in my BIOS and I'm not familiar with changing the multipliers (I don't want to burn out my brand new computer). I took...

I took this screenshot while running a game of SC2. I didn't capture the temperature but I think I was able to get everything else that you mentioned. http://imgur.com/nJVs85v Please let me know if there is any other info that might be helpful.

Anyone else have any ideas?

When I run the render test, power consumption skyrockets to around 85-95%. Edit: The range is all over the place actually. It can go from 30% one moment to 50, 85, etc. Edit 2: After leaving GPU-z on for a few hours, my AVG GPU power consumption is at about 28%. Edit 3: This is a video...
