What Could Be the Bloody Problem. Deeply Needing HELP~~~~~~~~

[yu0307]

So there is the problem for the last half year......
My screen will bounce and flickers whenever i play some HD videos, Or playing games, Happens all the time during COD:Black OP2. Some times even gives me PC freeze or blue screen. back then,I was cross firing two asus 7970 DC2s I have some render problems like objects will have lines drawn over it. then i switch to ares2, at first it gives me errors like "AMD driver has stopped responding but has recovered.", That error went away as soon as i switched to the new RAM. now i'm having this flickering issue. I have tried any possible ways to identify the problem. But this thing is by now giving me thoughts to suicide.

My setups are as follows.

CPU:AMD FX8150 (Brand new purchased, 1 year old Good functioning) O.C at 4.4Ghz Multiplier 22, CPU ratio 200
Motherboard: Asus Crossair V Formular W/ Thunderbolt (Brand new purchased, 6 month old)
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 DDR3 2133 (Brand New 2 days old) Running at 10-11-11-31 54 1.51V
Power Supply: Rosewill LIGHTNING 800W 80 PLUS GOLD (Purchased Brand New 1 year old)
Monitor: 27" Asus
HD: 1TB, Western Digital (Purchased Brand New 6 month old)
Operating System: Win 8 pro 64bit
I don't think other hardwares will matter in this case.

I have tried the following with no lucks:
-bought a new motherboard of the same type Formula V, And replaced 6 month ago. No luck
-brought a new set of Ram replaced the previous DDR3 2000 Kingston T1 3X2Gb last week. No luck
-Tried using a 1000W power supply, But not a 80 Gold Certified. Same problem, No luck
-Tried using a new HD of 1Tb, Reinstall the OS, Reinstalled Drivers..... NO luck
-Tried using new Beta drivers, or clean install OS then install stock Drivers....... NO luck
-Tried Running everything in AUTO in BIOS......NO luck
-Before Ares 2, I tried cross fire two of asus 7970 DC2s
-Single Asus 7970 DC2s..........No luck

What I have NOT tried:
-Install Win 7.
-Using a 80 gold certified 1000W
-Using a qualified vender RAM
-Crossair Formula V-Z motherboard
-CPU AMD FX8350 (Arriving tomorrow, See if it works)
-Another Graphic card.


Would Anyone please please please help me out. I don't think i have enough money to buy new parts to test them anymore.
Some body, Anybody, Please help me out here. ....

yu0307> besides the 24 pin power plug, are you using both the 8 pin cpu power plug AND the 4 pin cpu power plug ?
Somehow I've got a feeling that this is power related and that maybe your PSU isn't providing the power necessary, I doubt it's the ARES II cause you stated that it was happening with the 2 7970 X-fired !
Try another PSU !
edit: ASUS recommends a MINIMUM of 850W PSU for the ARES II

hI, I used a 1000W bronze certified to test the system. but it's the same result. With the 1000W , I have the 8 pin and two of the 4 pins going into the motherboard. But with the 800W PSU now it's Gold Certified, so i'd like to stick with this one. but this PSU only let me put a 8pin and one 4pin(the one usually powers old CD drives now replaced by SATA power) into the motherboard.

Well I think i have finally came to a conclusion......
It's very sad to know that the Graphic card is a defect one. I don't even know how things gonna work out now since there might not be another one to buy.....

I have tried the card on an intel board and CPU and the same thing happens. So with the evidence that different card on the same board works fine and same card on a different board and setup having the same issue, it's concluded to me that the card is broken.....
Hope this thread will be useful to others having the same problem......

I have sold the other 2 7970 to get the money to buy the Ares 2........ LOL

I see... well, I'm sorry for that card... 😞

The flickering is happening here too, I'm waiting for updated drivers and hope it'll go away...

Hi, I returned the card. and honestly, The card itself has a very high defect rate. I spoke to the reseller regarding to this issue and they say they have sold 20 of them and nearly half was returned due to faulty product.
personally i been having issue with high end cards by ASUS for a while. most the cards are ATI/AMD and they all seems having either driver issue or hardware issue.
Now i'm using a N GTX680. and it runs perfect. even it's sad that i don't get to keep the awsome looking card. but at least i don't have to deal with the head burn issues.

Personal advice. Return it and get a N card TITAN. ares 2 i think is a risk to take.
