It's not letting me post a picture for some reason, so I cant show you what it looks like at the moment, buuuut every so often. like just this second... My primary monitor does this thing where it's a black background with a crap ton of variously colored lines. just a second ago, they were green.

What's strange, is it's seemingly happening for no reason, and it's happened with both my 250x and my R9 280. My 250x I had hypothesized that MAYBE that's why it was listed as a refurb, but a restart always fixed it for a while.

Doesn't happen during gaming, just watching youtube at the moment. Now, my 280 is doing it and it's bugging me because it's NOT overheating, it's not being overused and i set it to my underclocked preset to be sure it has nothing to do with clock speeds. (Core clock at min, 485, and mem clock at min, 625.)

My specs are as follows

FX-6300 OC'd to 3.8 with turbo set to 4.4 (just derping around with settings this week, pretty stable at stock voltages)
MSI R9 280 GAMING, usually set to its stock OC profile of 1000mhz
8GB KVR 1600mhz
Asus M5a97 LE R2.0
750w EVGA SuperNOVA G2

pretty sure the amd drivers are up to date, barring the beta i wish not to participate in.

Plenty of yall are smarter than me, with more experience, in this field. I would appreciate any enlightenment,
thanks for your time
