I'm currently running my GTX 780 at stock and this was happening during games. WoW is crashing, when I'm just sitting at idle like black screens appear and during game play black fuz flashes on my screen, image becomes shoddy. What's your verdict? Defunct yeah?

actually, who cares what is broken, it's definitely broken and there is nothing you can do about it, just RMA it and hope for a fast replacement.
i spent way too much time on figuring out what's wrong with not working parts, i came to the conclusion not to bother anymore and just let the manufacturer deal with it.

Do you have an overclock on that thing? Did you buy it recently? What PSU are you running?

Silverstone Stryder 750 Watt 80 plus silver. These pictures are all from the card on Stock and I purchased it in June.

Edit: Anyway I messaged the store I bought it from to see what their policy is.

Have you tried with V-Sync on, I only say because I had similar graphics issues with Arkham Origins. Something to do with memory prefetch according to WB Games.:huh:
 
Seems odd to me that selective graphic mobs are corrupted.

If the card was definitely at fault, I'd expect something different.

Looks more to me like corrupted source. Might be wrong.

this!! ^^^^
 
That looks like an underpowered card to me, and/or busted memory. RMA it

+1

This won't fix the problem but you could try underclocking the card to see if the fault goes away. Having said that though it looks like RMA time.

Hey so... my computer keeps restarting like mid game? Is that a power surge? I'm starting to think that you were right and it is something to do with my power supply. It's a Silverstone Strider 750 Watt.

From experience a computer won't force itself to shut down unless some safety feature is being Implemented however I'm not getting any error messages just a restart. The computer isn't even powering down.

I'm no expert, but I see power in that report, but then there is power button on there as well, which suggests that's just picking up a loss in power.

I've experienced texture corruption and stuff like this on a card powered by an inferior PSU years back.. it looks pretty much the same, it would run 'okay' sometimes, but then the system would also do as you have explained and trip-out without warning. This really does sound more like a dead/dying/underpowered PSU more than the card itself.
 
Kernel power? Yeah that is probably the PSU. The kernal power can be caused in loads of various ways (even faulty ram) but in this case if you hadn't suddenly switched it off it is the PSU. Got a spare one to test?
 
as the guys above me said, its probably the psu. back when my psu died i was having loads of error 41's with random shutdowns.
