What card did you flash, and did you flash it with a bios from the manufacturer? or third party bios?

Okay, you overclocked your video card... And was it a manufacturers or third party bios?

If third party, try returning to the original bios..

and I'm pretty sure third party bios voids the warranty.

If reflashing to the original bios doesn't work, the third party bios may have damaged your card,. In that case you should just count it as a lesson learned. You should never try to RMA parts you break, if the part fails it's one thing, but mods and overvolting etc is at your own risk.

You don't. You messed with it, you pay the price if you screwed it up.

bing bing bing.... It's not ethical to try to get a manufacturer to warranty altered equipment.. It just makes prices higher for everyone who has to pay for the free hardware you get..

ok ok, well maybe you guys can help me fix it. i think it in the settings, because it runs windows fine it's just when i run prime or a game it gets freaky, like pixels and lines thru the screen. what do you think?
