I have a r6850 MSI Cyclone OC Power Edition card and I constantly have crashing problems. My screen goes black, flickers, and then freezes. This usually happens when trying to start games. First, I got these sporadically during games like Skyrim. I get them much more during games in beta like Tribes. However, I am now getting this problems during many different programs. I also get problems with updating the video bios using MSI Live Update 5. It crashes whenever I try to update anything to do with the video card. This is my first self built computer and it has ran flawlessly until this problem. My computer is as follows:
CPU: i5 2500k
Mobo: MSI z68A-G43 G3
Ram: 8gb gSkill ripjaw 1600
PSU:raidmax hybrid 650w
Please help as I can't really run any games on an $800 gaming computer.
