Processor: IntelR CoreTM i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHzRAM: 8GBSystem type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processorPhysical Graphics card That came with it: AMD Radeon TM R5 340The PC has the default graphics and works normally when the R5 340 is not plugged in, but when the actual card is plugged in it cause screen glitches which if it's too much the screen goes black and back on to go back to its normal state but still does it, the more apps opened even one the more it freezes, lags, glitches and etc, this can also lead to BSoD.

Card games lagging!

Hi Helena,

If it's an online game, the lag issue may have been caused by your Internet connection. It can also occur due to the game server issue. We'll need to gather a bit more information to better identify what's causing this. Kindly answer the following:

• Have you made any changes prior to this issue?
• What card game are you having issues with?
• Is the issue the same with other games?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve the issue?

Meanwhile, if the card game you're playing is downloaded from Windows Store, we suggest running the
Windows apps troubleshooter. The apps troubleshooter can help resolve issues with games and applications downloaded from Windows Store.

Regards.

 

BSOD after installing new graphics card

The games run with the HD 4600 graphics without a BSOD, but are unplayable because of lag even on the lowest settings. I have tried re-seating the graphics card and RAM with no improvement. My RX560 has a 6 pin connector.

*Sometimes after a BSOD my pc says it can't detect a driver.

 

Windows 10 Stuttering/Lagging with Graphical Glitches


I have installed Win 10 Pro and been using it for a while. I also have a ASUS STRIX GTX 960 OC with 2GB GDDR5 video memory, and 4GB ram. Lately I have been noticing a lag/stuttering after using the computer for a while. Mind that the problem doesn't come on as soon as the PC boots up (the boot up is quite fast). Instead it starts after an hour or so into the usage. The lagging/stuttering initially starts off as some graphical artefact (the text inside a window of an app starts refreshing - it basically vanishes and then comes back on). The problem is only limited to windows of the apps and Explorer itself. After a while the system starts lagging a lot. The stuttering and graphical anomalies appear periodically and the lag is also in sync with this period.

This is the lag at the most extreme

An interesting thing that happened is that while I opened the Nvidia Control Panel to take a gif recording, the graphical stuttering immediately stopped. The lag however was still there, but very minute. This leads me to wonder whether the glitch/bug is caused due to a bad Nvidia driver.
The driver in question is 361.75
I know that the driver is problematic but I also read that the newer version 364.51 is also having a lot of problems.
This is the Task Manager after I opened and closed Nvidia Control Panel





However, after the problem still came back (in about 10-15 minutes), I tried the same method - opening and closing Control Panel. This time, the problem still persisted. So maybe something else caused the stuttering to go away. I am not sure of the chain of events that precisely led to this so I couldn't recreate it.

This PC is usually very fast, can run most games on ultra-high settings (albeit at my display resolution of 1366x768) and basically runs without a hitch. However, once this sets in, after a while its annoying enough that I restart it. Then the cycle continues.

I am pretty sure that the problem is software related (maybe bad Nvidia drivers?). The graphics card is pretty new (Nov 2015) so I can basically rule out any graphics card problem. The problem however does show up in COD MW 1 (Multiplayer). The entire screen flashes in sync with the same problem. Basically, if I'm playing the game once this flashing of windows starts, the entire screen goes black and comes back on - there is no lag, just the blacking out - completely in sync with the window flashing. The screen refreshing problem exists ONLY with this game, all others run without any problems

Any help? I am ready to roll back to previous graphics drivers but a clean Windows install is a no-no. I have way too much data to backup
