Mass Effect 1 keeps crashing in fullscreen mode (DisplayPort)
The thing is though everything here is brand new cables and all. This PC is fresh off the shelf from Best Buy and worked for a few weeks, eventually it broke and had to be serviced. After the repair it broke again, so Geeksquad gave me another brand new computer. What I'm trying to say here is I could see the second time around something going wrong with the GPU or something in the PC because they repaired it using refurbished parts and it still failed. But the first and 3rd time (especially the 3rd time when they finally got it right) I am using a brand new GPU so I'll be very surprised to learn it was that. Unless you're saying this particular GPU wasn't built with this monitor in mind?
The drivers that could be what's at issue. I have no idea what type of drivers the PC & monitor takes nor how to install them. As for the HDMI cables I've tried three different ones no issues with other sources such as Xbox One and my older PC the monitor will run those flawlessly. It's just that when this new PC is connected it becomes allergic to HDMI. A friend of mine suggested HDMI 1.4 MIGHT work but no guarantee. Anyway here is the DxDiag hopefully this should provide context so that you can point me in the right direction. Btw looking at the DxDiag it reads "current mode 2560 x 1440 (32 bit) (60Hz)" would I need to find the setting to turn up the refresh rate in all modes?
As always, appreciate the help
EDIT: Just bought Overwatch for PC and the blinking occurs there too (in fullscreen haven't tried Windowed Mode). It's all connected, if I can find a solution to this ME1 problem it may resolve other games blanking in and out as well.
FINAL EDIT: After careful analysis I've determined the solution. I'm using a FreeSync monitor which synchronizes the refresh rates with the GPU however in some cases creates certain weaknesses. The Fix: Turns out switching FreeSync off in AMD Settings fixed the blinking issue. To anyone else who's suffering the same troubles try these fixes from your AMD Display settings.
A.) Disable FreeSync (this one worked for me).
B.) Reduce Color depth to 6bpc
C) Turn on scaling,
