Radeon HD 7870 Screen flicker/artifact problem

[knownas]

Hi, some time ago I posted here in the forums a problem I had with the PC restarting: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1987413/restart-problem-radeon-7870.html and that one was solved by changing the PSU. But now I come to you with another problem: I have flickering or artifacting... don't even know how to call it (see the image attached at the bottom).

Anyways, I have tried another screen, still had issues, another graphics card (7850), still had issues. Plus, I tried on another computer my graphics card and it works perfectly. My question is: what could this be? PSU? Motherboard?? Processor? PCI-E connection? Bottlenecking?? Been searching all around the internet but no answer was found to my problem... Mostly graphics card problems, but this isn't the case definitely.

My setup is as follows

Asus M5A78L - M/USB3
AMD FX 8120 3.1GHz 8-Core PCU
Seagate 1TB SSHD
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5
16GB RAM Corsair
Gigabyte 460 GHz

I have the same card and the same problem. My guess is a driver issue but I have updated and reinstalled them many times... Lets hope somebody can help us =p

Hi. After my PC going down and burning PSU, motherboard and processor I can only guess the problem wasn't with the graphics card at all. I'll still wait and see if I get any troubles in the future but for now (for 2 weeks or so) no flickering or artefacting.
