- Folding in Ames, IA
Played some games Wednesday night then left my computer on and went to bed. Was running folding@home but on CPU only. Woke up to checkerboard artifacts on the desktop and in chrome. Booted up a game and had lots of misplaced vertices. Card is a 7850, not overclocked.
Tried underclocking by about 10%.
Checked temp on my card and it was around 40-60 on desktop and in game.
Checked event log and computer had not crashed during the night.
Uninstalled drivers completely and the problem remained. (Correction. If I disconnect from the internet so that windows can't immediately reinstall them, then the issue stops. As soon as I install drivers it returns. Have tried 13.4 and 13.12, both had artifacts)
Took a screenshot to verify the problem wasn't my monitor.
Verified PSU voltage levels with HWMonitor.
Swapped to alternate 6-pin power connector.
Anything else I can try before I determine that it definitely went bad somehow?
