Hi all:

Here are my system specs:

Z87 G41 PC Mate Mobo
i5-4440
Sapphire dual X R9 280x
CX500 psu
1866MHz CL9 2x4GB RipjawsX RAM
Samsung 840 evo 250GB SSD
1TB WD Blue HDD

After heavy gaming (such as after playing NFS rivals, cryisis 3, etc) for about an hour and I start watching youtube videos, my screen goes crazy when entering full screen. I use triple monitors and it's only one monitor, the secondary and third monitor work fine. No problem when in the games or when watching video before gaming.

This is what it looks like:

I would greatly appriciate it if anyone could help out.

Many Thanks

Ok well I noticed that AMD overdrive is activated which might be causing this issue. Try clicking "defaults" and then untick 'Enable AMD overdrive'


It's probably your GPU overheating. Are you overclocking at all?

Please could you post a screenshot of HWMonitor. It can be downloaded here:

Here's a screenshot of the game when under load. Nothing is overclocked and all my fans are connected to a separate fan controller which is maxed out. (4 120mm fans)

I just updated them but the problems still persist. Also, the GPU activity suddenly went up to 95% after the update for the same game which peaked at 67%. temperatures peaking at 60 degrees

Anytime :)

* My GPU did exactly the same thing on the first day, I overclocked it like 30mhz over and it did the line thing after gaming so I just reset it back to defaults and never had an issue since :)
