Weird-ass problem with new computer and world of warcraft

[Badspot]

I've seen this happen to 3 video cards over the years.  It's basically just RAM failure.  It gets worse over time and eventually you'll see artifacts even in the bios screen, indicating that it's clearly not a software issue.

i was suspecting this because wow would only crash when i would be in the legion, resource-heavy battles

i have the same problem but it's an rx480 this time, as depicted in the screen. no crashing issues however, the screen glitching only happens like less than occasionally

it's what badspot said really, may look like a video card issue but i feel you need to do something with your RAM.

also jun is correct:



additionally, if you're crashing and you get some message like "Video rendering device has been lost!", try underclocking. that's only if you get that message and your Overwatch crashes.

i don't get any message. the event viewer just has some event of kernel-power
my computer freezes, the artifacts pile on, and then it shuts down and attempts to reboot itself without any input from me. i never get any message

i know, but it happens to some of the AMD cards like what i'm using**. still, underclocking isn't a bad idea

to be frank i hardly know a solution for this other than underclocking or lowering the power limit but it sounds like what badspot is saying is reasonable, maybe buying new RAM sticks is a suggestion then?

[Daswiruch]

might replace the ram if i'm still having problems after i get the new graphics card

yeah i hear corsair's a hit and miss on RAM as well as they do on every other hardware. you probably got some bad apples.

what model are they exactly? like what's the full name?

[Daswiruch]

ok so wow has stopped crashing my entire system (2 sessions so far) and i've just gotten simple program crashes from wow
now it has a message but i don't know what the forget it means? does this mean it's a problem with my ram and not my graphics card or what? i still got the artifacts and freeze but only for a few seconds before it ultimately showed me this box.

it wasn't unreadable before i uploaded it but it says this

Box 1: [!] The application encountered an unexpected error

Box 2: [X] This application has encountered a critical error

corsair vengeance or something i think? 2 sticks of 8gb ddr4-2133

still gonna replace my video card regardless if it's the problem or not
maybe i need to replace my ram too?

well it's official
posting from my phone now as my graphics card just bite za dusto
goes black or purple 5 mins into loading windows
now with real time artifacting

yep, gotta do the RMA and get a new card

7600k is an i7

i suspect ram issues when games/youtube crashes when in use, but not normal comp use.

Dead VRAM. Unfortunately, you'll need to RMA it.

There's some software I can give you that will diagnose specifically what's wrong with your VRAM, but I don't know if your computer will even run long enough to complete it.

uninstall the gpu and RMA it

unfortunately you're stuck with the integrated graphics for the time being.
