Hello, thanks for taking your time to read through this, it will be greatly appreciated

PC Specs;
i5-4670k at stock for trouble shooting but i can make it stable at 4.2ghz
Asus R9280x DirectCUII
MSI Z87-g41
FPS Raider 750w PSU
Corsair 8gb Vengeance DDR3 Ram

I build my beloved gaming orientated pc just shy of 2 years ago now and i must have drawn the short straw as i have been plagued with a plethora problems since a few months into it.
Firstly I got my r9 280x and then shortly after I RMA'd it for Artifacting issues, they said it was faulty and "replaced" it. The gpu was fine for the first couple if months and then it started again so i RMA'd it again and it returned with nothing was wrong with it.

Then around september last year my PSU shat it self and started making clicking sounds and producing other weird anomalies, i was not going to fool around with that so i RMA'd it, it came back with a nothing result as it got defaulted because 'the place were they send it to' just did not respond so they just gave me another one after 4.5 weeks of waiting around(luckily(poor nan)spat the dummy and i was away for 3 weeks out of that so it did not bother me to much)

Now i have know idea what is going on after days of troubleshooting and fiddling around with stuff.
i made a video of the anomalies that are occurring https://youtu.be/8kXpKcaJT-Q
As you can see it is when the GPU is under load but like i said that is the most i know. it sounds like it is coming from the PSU so any suggestions their.

I am just about to do a fresh install of windows onto a ssd within a few days as it is at the point of painfully slow

Like i said i have no idea anymore so any help will be appreciated

Thanks for taking the time for reading

Yeah I know, when I install the ssd I'll have it in a bench type situation and do some trouble shooting to find out what the heck is going on, I am praying it is not something to serious as I have had it up to my ears with that sh1t

 


Finally Fixed the Problem, the GPU shroud was catching on the fan, all it took to fix it was the loosening of one screw with like a 3/4 turn. I just had to get out my "anger" and frustration before i could move on and tackle the issue.

Cheers, Jack

P.S. now i know why people like writing rants, its good for the soul
