Hello. I've had an ongoing issue for a week now. I haven't changed any software or hardware to note. Basically when i'm playing WoW my game is freezing. monitors flicker black or sometimes green with pixels, it then loads back in. Sometimes reducing fps but mostly it returns to normal... the bnet client crashes with it also. I'm not sure if it happens with other games as I don't play any. My cpu temps and gpu temps aren't spiking at all. I've reinstalled drivers on my gpu and rolled them back even. I have a gtx 980 and i6700k. Not a clue what is going on! Can anyone help.

thanks for reading
 
Solution
Try removing and reseating the GPU. Try a different PCIE slot. Check your monitor cables. Check PC/monitor resolutions. Are you using a resolution higher than capabilities of the monitor?
