Yesterday when I got home, I booted up Space Engineers and my monitor started doing this.

System Specs:
GPU: PowerColor PC+ R9 390
CPU: Intel i5-4590
Mobo: Asus Z87-Pro
Display Connection Types:
Normally the DisplayPort 1.2 to MiniDisplayPort cord that comes with the MG279Q, but tested with an HDMI cord as well.
Associated Software:
Just CRU running 1.3.1, but also tried the 1.3.99 preview build to see if it helps. It had no effect.
So far I've tried hooking up the display to the Mobo, uninstalling the GPU driver in safe mode, trying different cords, and testing another computer as well. I've localized it to the monitor itself through testing the monitor with another computer and getting the same result.
I did have the monitor overclocked using CRU, and using the .bin file from
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4z...t_143fps/. The overclock has been on for at least six months with no issue. Currently using CRU, the reset-all.exe does not reset the monitor to its default settings.
My initial thought is that the CRU software isn't applying the overclock correctly, and its causing the monitor to go to an unsupported refresh rate/resolution, but I don't have CRU .bin of the factory settings to try and force a reset. The way I believe the reset-all isn't working is because under display properties->monitor only 60 and 90 hz options are available instead of the 60, 90, 120, 144 hz that the monitor comes with.
Questions I have are:
1. Is it correct that CRU is GPU or computer specific? So if it is still acting like this on another computer, it's probably not CRU itself?
2. Does overclocking the MG279Q void the Asus limited parts warranty (monitor is only 1.5 years old)? My inclination is the warranty is voided, but has anyone had any experience with sending back a damaged Asus monitor that had been overclocked?
3. How do you even describe what is happening on screen? You may have to zoom in to see it, but it basically has split the display into thirds, overlaying the actual image. Additionally, there are large rectangular pixel blocks that are appearing.
4. Does anyone have a CRU .bin file of the default MG279Q settings?
5. Is there any other tests I should run before talking to Asus? I need to see if the lack of refresh rate options in display properties is consistent between computers, and try it on a Windows 7 machine instead of windows 10.
6. The fact that CRU's reset-all causes it to not reset correctly is concerning. I'm sadly at work right now, but I'll get some screenshots of the settings after applying the .bin mentioned above, and after a safe-mose reset-all.exe has been run when I get home.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope my $500 monitor didn't just because a paperweight.
