So i had my PC on for 24 hours because i was downloading some games from Steam.I installed Firefox because some facebook videos had just black screen on Chrome.When i installed Firefox i went back to Facebook to see a video a friend sent me and at the main FB page my graphics just messed up.The whole screen would just shake and go from left to right and stuff like that.While this was happening i noticed that at the top right of my screen there was a notification that AMD Catalyst requires my attention but i couldnt click it because of the whole screen shaking.I also got the message that says catalyst crashed and restored succesfully but the problem was still happening.I restarted my PC a few minutes ago and it seems fine.I also checked the temperatures and they were fine too.Also the graphics card is a month old and it didnt show me any problems untill today.Any suggestions?

use a 3 party tool like hardware info 64 or 32 depending on your os and turn on sensor reading and then recording to log file. watch your power supply voltages mostly your 12v line see if it holds. if it drops or ripples out it can show up as a video card issue. most video cards when the drop from bad gpu or ram will have color bars on the screen or acsi and colors.

Could it still be a faulty card while i played GTA V and Witcher 3 with no problems at all all the time i have had it?

if you load the rig with a game you may see small 12v dips as some times there may be a lag between the outout of the power supply and the sensor reading. look at the atx power supply wifi for the min and max rating for the 12v line. as long as your unit stays there then it not a power issue. the monitor and logging is to run the pc till the error comes back and then see if the voltage is an issue or the card.

I just loaded a page showing normal PSU voltages and my screen froze for a second then it restored and i got the message that amd drivers stopped responding and restored successfully but this time without screen shaking or anything like that.I should mention that what happened just now used to happen with my old 7770 some times but i dont think its a driver issue because since then i formatted my PC and reinstalled everything.Here is a screenshot with my voltages to check them out because im not good with that stuff.

My PSU is a Turbo X 650w(i never heard that brand either).It was a cheap one because when i built the PC 2 years ago i was running out of budget and i didnt knew that PSUs are the most important thing on a PC...Oh also a couple of days ago it did a strange buzzing sound like that but after that day it stopped doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbJdJUYTOcw(this is not my video)

I found it on the stores website i got it from but the website is Greek so i translated everything i could.

The +12v on the graphics card section or on the motherboard section?

Allright on the motherboard the minimum dropped from 11.880 that was before to 11.592v after i started wicther 3.I moved the character around for a little bit and the buzzing sound on the PSU appeared again and after i closed the game it stopped.

I will try to use it as less as i can because i gave my laptop to my cousin and i dont have any other way to browse the internet so it will be pretty hard to stay away from the PC xD.So this 550w PSU supports everything on my system right?
