Maximus hero problems

[gazman0000]

HI, new build on my pc with ROG hero motherboard, 4770k, 16GB G.SKill Ripjaw X (2x8GB) 1866mhz, reused 2 x OCZ vertex 3 128GB NOT in Raid and reused Nvidia GTX 670 windforce. Having issues with sound crackling through my logitech G35's every now and then, also screen keeps jumping when i play games, like was playing BF3 yestrerday and had to restart pc to stop it jumping, today whilst i type this every 10 seconds or so WoW is getting a white glitch accross the screen. I was playing BF3 before wow today with no problems. I have the BIOS profile set to XMP but was doing this when i manually enterred the ram timings and voltage also. Im unsure if it is a fault on the motherboard or the Ram...any help or advice would be greatly apprciated, also when i stream music from some sites the sound levels seem to decrease then increase.

sounds more related to video card.
just curious if that goes away if u go into Bios, under system agent, NB PCIE, set link speeds from auto to gen2

Back again, ok i have tested and tested, played wow all day yesterday no problem, then today whenever i have a web page open on the 2nd screen my game flickers every 10 seconds or so, has done it all night, when i go back to the game as the main screen the flicker stops. It has done its white screen flicker all evening tonight and it resulted in a blue screen and complete system crash. the blue scrren dissapears to quickly to make a note of the error but it has done this 3 or 4 times since ive had the pc. i dont seem to have the buzzing and sound issues i was having since i changed the bios setting for the gpu to gen 2....

What PSU are you using and are you overclocking your 4770K & 670?

[gazman0000]

I am using corsair HX1050 PSU and not had any problems with it, CPU is on Auto and I am using Gigabyte GTX 670 windforce GPU which has a factory overclock on it. Just a thought but i am also using a H100i from corsair, could that be part of the part of the problem, maybe with the USB thng going on

not sure but the flickering points toward vga more than other areas.

Please confirm you have no issues when your system is running at defaults, that includes your memory being run at stock settings. F5 and enter in the bios.

ok since i set pc to default i have had no problems, no blue screens, no games crashing so what should i do now with regard to memory as i would like to run everything as it should be ie mem at 1866mhz and maybe small oc on processor but any idea yet whjat may have caused the earler problems
