AMD a10 7700k artifacts on stock clocks.

[Ilikegladpandas]

Hey. I've come to the forums before for help but this is my first post. I'm fairly knowledgeable about hardware issues but this one has me stumped.

So basically I'm running a AMD a10 7700k artifacts stock voltages and clocks. Recently I started getting artifacts in a game (Blacklight Retribution). I rectified the issue by installing AMD's latest crimson drivers. Great. I played that for awhile and had zero issues at all.

A week or so goes by and no errors. A new update drops for another game I like (warframe). The first day I play it's completely fine. The second day I jump on and from then on I've been getting artifacts in the same place every time. I checked all other games and have had zero issues.

I'm really at a loss. My processor is still under warranty. Does the problem lie in the onboard gpu?

Additional hardware includes:
Asrock a88x btc
mushkin redline 1866mhz 2x4gb
Rosewill psu model # ARC-M450 (450 watt semi modular 80 plus bronze)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I look forward to contributing to the forums.

Edit: forgot to mention the troubleshooting steps I took:
Ran furmark with 0 errors.
Ran OCCT with 0 errors.
Ran memtest86 with 0 errors.
Ran prime 95 for 6 hours with 0 errors.
Ran Chkdsk and sfc /scannow with 0 errors.
Tried different monitor and different cord.

Doesn't sound like a CPU issue particularly, as it's only one game and in one place think they may have broken something in the update? I remember Warframe being a bit buggy about that back when I played it

That's what I thought, but I looked on the hardware part of warframe and nobody has posted any issues similar to mine, and it's quite peculiar that it started happening in warframe right after it started happening in blacklight. I had zero issues with old drivers before it occurred at all.

I also have another PC in exactly the same configuration that doesn't have the same issue.

Have you updated your chipset drivers/bios lately? Usually I wouldn't suggest this buy with an igp gaming setup maybe?

I have updated the chipset drivers. The bios shipped with the most compatible version for kaveri. I contacted AsRock to ensure this.
