GTX 1070 Game black screen/flickering/crashing

[Crimson Nightmare]

For the longest while, now, my computer has been having trouble with certain games, like tf2, skyrim, shadow of mordor and final fantasy XIV. ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling my video drivers multiple times, but nothing has gotten better, it seems to have gotten worse. The games will occasionally flicker or go black, which basically makes the game unplayable, especially in multiplayer. If you guys know of any other methods to fix it, please let me know.

Are you sure that you are using the Nvidia graphics and not Intel graphics? Does your laptop have an LED that changes color based on which graphics is being used? The power LED on my MSI gaming laptop is cool blue for low powered integrated Intel graphics and hotter amber when using Nvidia graphics.

The only time I had slow graphics with looping audio in TF2 (in Linux) was when running an older Linux version that used something called bumblebee to switch between the graphics and it was using the Intel graphics. But in a newer Linux version with nvidia-prime, even the Intel graphics was fast enough to smoothly run TF2 without pausing with sound loop.

In Windows you might need GeForce Experience for hybrid Intel/Nvidia graphics to automatically switch to Nvidia graphics for games. To use Nvidia graphics for minecraft (unrelated to Steam) I set up something in GeForce Experience telling it to use Nvidia with the path to Java (since minecraft is a Java app, but not a game GeForce Experience was aware of).

I don't know if it is using Intel graphics. I assumed that because there was only one option under display drivers that there was only one kind of graphics. I will check that next time I'm at my computer.

Best thing to do at this point is a format and reinstall of Windows and drivers. You'll quickly know if it's a hardware or software issue. From your description of flashing blank screens with colored spots while the audio cuts out, I'd bet you have a GPU hardware failure in the making. Wipe/reinstall Windows, if it continues, you have a hardware failure and should sent it in for warranty service.

I think it's a hardware issue because I reinstalled windows and the issue still persists

(if you have asus strix card)
Run gpu-z and see if it says asus next to subvendor or if that field is blank. If it's blank or something other than asus then it's a launch model, also if your card has micron ram that could be causing issues. If it says asus next to subvendor your card probably isn't the issue, the cards that are properly identified have the updated bios.

Help, Mine is micron, and I am getting this issue!

You both need to contact the manufacturer for an RMA.

We can't help u magically fix this, since it sounds like your GPU is faulty.

I would RTM that quite soon.

When was it purchased?

What is the exact model of the GPU? < If not sure, load u GPU-Z and share the "Device ID"

Having the same problem here. Did you find a solution?
