Video Corruption after Installing Sabertooth Mark 1
I recently had to upgrade my processor and motherboard since they both decided to die. I'm now on a z97 Sabertooth mark 1 and i7-4790k(currently at stock till I can get my system stable). I had a problem with my drivers at first(and this might be more of the same) which I documented here https://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/3...safe-mode.html
Now I have another problem. When I boot into Windows 7 I get it coming up and I can log in, but within a minute it looks like the video gets corrupted and it freezes(I've attached a picture). Currently BIOS is at default. Not sure what I should be testing to get this working.
It doesn't happen in Safe Mode. What is a good way to figure out what driver is causing this?
Side Note: Is Open Hardware Monitor supposed to be able to show temps while in safe mode? I use it and I get no temps or voltages. If not what is a good monitor I can use in safe mode? Anyone know the command to load the drivers for it to use?
EDIT: It seems to be running just fine in Safe Mode. Prime95 has been running for 30 minutes now and I'll keep it running for a few hours probably to be sure.
EDIT2: Prime95 ran fine. I let it go for 2.5 hours before I stopped it. I also ran memtest86+ and it passed with no errors 7 times. I doubt it's a hardware issue then. Need to figure out what driver is breaking it then.
