Monitor flicker after VRAM corruption

Attachment 17860

So. Long story short. Perfectly good R9 280 pulled that stunt there. Same thing my r7 250x used to do. Either only lasts a minute or two, or is fine after restart and doesnt happen again for a good while.
Except this time, my monitor flickers like a son of a bitch. I've tried everything. Changing refresh rates, changing outlets, the monitor flickers without any kind of input! The panel just effing flickers now, constantly, annoyingly!

My card damaged a monitor! It's not supposed to be a possibility!
Can anyone help? Monitor was an open box item so i dont think a warranty is happening...
I don't know what else to do and I realllllly don't feel like buying another one...Got it for 111$, retails at 180 i think.

I'm Using a msi 270x r9 i had the same trouble at first but someone how i fixed and now im not having any trouble with flickering. i think i could help you out if you haven't return you card. that happens when a driver is not exactly installed. so you have to reinstalled all drivers again.

AOD_Robert :ok:

thanks for the answer i totally didnt notice!
It's not a problem anymore after winning a 970 in an auction! Thank you though, for the offer :)
