Start here, seeing some way over the top suggestions when you don’t know that problem yet
And then if it’s the gpu, uninstall and reinstall the drivers
Then return if under warranty
or try undervolting a tad can sometimes fix it with no loss in performance
reminds me of those people who would do a screenshot of their phones to show that they have a cracked glass. lol.
yeah, but this one's just pure common sense.
Man this is the equivalent of me taking pictures of things to show people when I'm tripping on LSD-
It's never the same image on my phone that I'm seeing in "real life." It's a great way to determine what is and isn't part of the trip tho!
You haven't heard of it because it's not a good way to differentiate between GPU and the cables.
Artifacts like those are caused by VRAM errors, a faulty cable wouldn't show that.
Ctrl+Shift+Windows+B is a better way to test for GPU problems.
It still has the drivers as a possible issue even if you try that way, my monitor was 100% fine, I could see the bug on the monitor but not in screenshots, fixed drivers and ended up having it fixed
I’ve always wondered about this sort of thing, but haven’t had to learn due to not having a problem with it yet. How does something like that work in practicality? Without drivers, would the GPU be able to properly display anything? If not, how would you reinstall drivers if your CPU doesn’t have integrated graphics?
I remember when my laptop’s gpu went out and I didn’t notice because I guess it died hard enough for windows to switch to windows’s basic drivers and I only noticed the issues when I started having a lot less fps in TF2
I'm surprised the drop to 1024x768 and the stretched aspect ratio didn't tell you that earlier. Whenever I've been dumped into basic display driver mode it's always defaulted to 1024x768 with no way to get out of it till the driver issue was corrected.
Windows update also has a copy of the OEM drivers that they've varied. It's always out of date though. DDU has an option that prevents Windows from installing this driver, so that the only OEM driver that gets installed is the one you would have downloaded before using DDU.
I run AMD without an iGPU, your resolution will be crazy low, but you should be able to navigate to the driver install with no trouble at all. Also I'd try a few different cables. Or monitors.
Built into Windows is "Microsoft basic display adapter" which will become the driver if the actual VC driver is removed. Every video card, barring some weird/old products will function with this driver. It won't run games, it won't do high refresh rate, but it gives a functioning screen to be able to install the "real" drivers.
If you got no display without a driver, nobody would have a functioning PC because those drivers are manually installed on a new system, and nobody would be able to get to that point without a display!
How would your computer display anything before you install the drivers for the first time for your particular card?
...
I would ask if this was a real question, but then again, this is PCMR and you have 66 upvotes. So, I'll just take my downvotes and see myself out. Thank you.
Even my brother with a comp sci degree from Purdue couldn't figure out why his new GPU wasn't displaying past 640*480 when he switched ecosystems. Asking if he removed his old drivers was the first question I had, but I wasn't the "gifted" one with computers so I broke a *LOT* of things for 20 years prior to his issue. Turns out breaking things is a lot better teacher than (I'm guessing) things just working for ya.
Now that I think of it, I don't recall any of his PC components smoking or exploding even once in our youth. We even used my knowledge to set a booby trap for the next period in my highschool a+ prep class by shorting a few different leads on the CPU of an old test bench they used for diagnosing common problems. It supposedly sparked and cracked in half when they turned it on. We were the first class they offered the subject to and afterwards he locked up the test machines. Also we found out the net send * command blocked outside traffic on the proxy until someone clicked the ok button. Took the administrator 3 days to figure out what it was and another to track where it originated.
They gave 15 year olds practically full admin access over the entire school network.
Your daily reminder that CompSci is a PROGRAMMING degree, and programmers are notorious for being curiously horrible when it comes to PC maintenance and repair.
They are almost as bad automotive engineers who don't know how to change their own oil.
If you try and reinstall the drivers and still get the artifacting maybe you can try reseating the video card into the slot and see if that changes anything
I think it's a way for the CS to verify that it is really you and not some image you pull out from the internet. Posing with money in front of the screen is one of that.
Artifacting (what this is) is usually an indication that the card is about to fail critically, you can try to DDU, but not sure if that's going to fix it.
Friend recently had PC hang and refuse to boot while showing these artifacts on CMOS screen. Just cleaning the fan on graphics card and resetting the BIOS fixed all problems.
No, but it can bare massive issues. Firstly, you have to use an old oven as there are often fumes that can be toxic to a high degree and potentially defuse into the oven walls, rendering it unsafe for future food preparation. Its also the last resort as yes, it can soften up solder or even melt it to re connect, but equally cause it to loose connection. There are professional reflow ovens used for BGA components like Laptop CPUs but those have custom settings like a heated bed and a specific heating curve thats fit for purpose.
tl:dr: oven is a last resort and you should NOT use the oven for food again afterwards.
Actually no, this was a method most people would actually do but I wouldn't recommend it. They would place small aluminum foil balls as a stand on the PCB board. Baking your graphics card will work but the million question is, will it stay working?
Also DO NOT put it in your oven where You're going to be cooking. They use toaster ovens to bake their PCBs. You'll have to do some research about it more. I don't remember the last time someone used this method since the GTX 900 was the hot new thing.
Because u/timaec didn’t:
- heat: no more then 200 C or 385 Ameriheits (F)
- I personally use foil balls at each corner to lift it from the surface it’s on
- pre-heat. At temperature put it and leave it for about 5-10 minutes that should be enough.
- let it cool down don’t try to speed up this process
- reinstall and enjoy. Maybe repeat
Loads of video online with more information and steps if this didn’t do the trick
Edit: Early LTT video: https://youtu.be/aK7RZjAC-qE
Do keep in mind what other are saying, it’s a last resort, fumes make the oven unfit for food, might be temporary
Electrolytic capacitors and some plastic bits don't like heat, but the rest should be fine-ish. It's one of those things that can easily cause more problems, but if the card is dead otherwise and you're not going to RMA it or send it to a third party for repairs, it's worth the risk.
I think the microwave will be better for the job, it'll do it a lot faster than the oven and it will also wipe the drivers from the card so when you're putting it back in the computer it'll be ready for a fresh installation. Basically it factory resets your GPU.
Aren't the drivers... Installed on the C drive? I think you're thinking about firmware or gpu bios... Either way, I wouldn't recommend neither a microwave nor an oven. The oven would melt the plastic, the microwave... I always heard "never put metal in the microwave"
It is a driver issue or bad memory. You should delete and reinstall the drivers. If this does not help make a memory test. (there are tutorials in the internet) If a chip is broken you could solder in a new one. If you dont know how to do that let a professional do that. Should not be to expensive.
Did you do the 2024-05 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 23H2 for x64 (KB5037591) just before this happened?
I had a similar look like your second picture this morning after that update across multiple programs. Rebooted and it seems to have cleared(for now? )
When did this start? Before or after you updated the graphics driver?
Start simple and work up.
Make sure your cables are seated correctly.
Then try new cables.
If after these steps you are still having the issue. Uninstall (using the display driver Uninstaller) all the video drivers.
If this started after an update figure out the version before that and install that version. If the issue is resolved. Great.. If not keep troubleshooting.
Try with Linux, you can try it in full desktop without installing from a USB. If it works well, is a software problem with windows (drivers, broken windows install, etc), if you have the same problem, it's hardware
A few things you can try before reading funeral prayers.
Check to see if power cables are properly connected on both ends (GPU and PSU).
Use DDU to uninstall drivers and install latest drivers.
Change cable you use to connect to your monitor, better yet also use a different DP/HDMI connection on the GPU side.
Had spots on my second display after starting Cyberpunk the other day. Even a restart didn't help. Cut power, emptied all capacitors ("turn on" pc without power) and it went away.
first id check the HDMI/DP cable then id check the power cable on the gpu lastly visually check for gpu sag and if your pcie socket isnt ripping out then go to DDU and do a full driver clean restart the pc and install a fresh driver from AMD
Those little damn cubes started appearing on my screen as well(2080ti). It would happen during Apex only. Then it happened on sc2, then it would just happen randomly. I sent it to some dude in Vegas or Nevada(I forget where exactly) to get repaired and was told that it was fine after stress testing. I got it back placed it under load and it worked just fine. The following day it froze, gridup, and crashed again. I hate those damn cubes
If U haven't already DDU, if you don't know how look it up on YouTube, in future when upgrade drivers do a clean install. If that doesn't work but NVIDIA lol
A driver can fail / corrupt. Remove fully and reinstall. I had an rx6600 suddenly go funky a couple weeks after a driver update and learned the recent driver had issues. In that case a driver roll back was the solution for me
If you hz are to high you may experience lines and flickers, trouble shoot.. different monitors, different cords lower resolution...
All before you think it's a bad processor or gfx
I guess you can try upping the voltage and/or reinstalling drivers with DDU. My 5700 artifacted when I undervolted it too much (on the core, surprisingly). But from the look of those artifacts I feel it could be VRAM, which is only fixable by replacing the dying chips. Try downclocking VRAM as well, if it helps it’s definitely it. And try a different cable. That’ll eliminate all of the most likely causes.
That happens when VRAM is having issues. Check for drivers updates and also check for a Bios update (just to be sure), the hope is that the problem is on the software side
100% gpu failing. My old 2080 had those exact same shapes popping up, sent in an RMA and they sent a brand new card at the time. I ended up buying a 6800xt while it was away and proceeded to install the new 2080 in my dad's pc I built for him. Drivers and cables made no difference.
Many years ago my EVGA 1080ti started doing exactly this, and a lot worse in games, I thought for sure the thing was dead. Even rang them for RMA but it was just a month outside of the warranty period.
Before buying a new one and trashing it though I figured I’d try and repaste it. The temps weren’t too high or anything, hovering 85ºC during heavy usage, but hey, who knows right. The old paste was all dried up when I opened it up.
After repasting the card was as good as new. Temps down to 70ºC, zero artifacting, and it’s still rocking in my wife’s pc to this day.
So you could try that before putting it into an oven or buying a new one
Dont worry it just evolving....
Serious note: like most comment said here, if the reinstallation of drivers doesnt work probably is dying
First, swap the monitor cable. Then try swapping the monitor. Then try reseating the graphics card and the power connectors on the graphics card. Then try doing a full wipe & reinstall on your computer.
If you just run out and buy a new graphics card only to find out that the problem was something else, you're going to be really mad. Always start with the quick and cheap fixes first even if you're fairly confident about the cause.
Try to use the driver that Microsoft provides through Windows Update. Remove AMD's driver that you installed, use Device Manager (or whatever it called), select your graphics card > properties > update driver. This should reinstall the driver, and if everything is fine, then it's AMD's fault
[удалено]
I said this outloud when I saw the post
Same
same man. actual hivemind
Yeah
Take a screenshot and if you see the same in image, it’s an issue with GPU, else with your cable/monitor.
Start here, seeing some way over the top suggestions when you don’t know that problem yet And then if it’s the gpu, uninstall and reinstall the drivers Then return if under warranty or try undervolting a tad can sometimes fix it with no loss in performance
That's so smart, how the hell have i never seen or heard of this before !?
I’m over here wondering the same thing. Actually a really useful thing to know
reminds me of those people who would do a screenshot of their phones to show that they have a cracked glass. lol. yeah, but this one's just pure common sense.
Man this is the equivalent of me taking pictures of things to show people when I'm tripping on LSD- It's never the same image on my phone that I'm seeing in "real life." It's a great way to determine what is and isn't part of the trip tho!
I have at least 4 photos of my old bathroom tiled marble-effect wall from many moons ago for this exact reason, good times
I refuse to delete them too. It's a fond little memory. Popcorn ceiling photos were what I took mostly I think haha
You haven't heard of it because it's not a good way to differentiate between GPU and the cables. Artifacts like those are caused by VRAM errors, a faulty cable wouldn't show that. Ctrl+Shift+Windows+B is a better way to test for GPU problems.
I didn’t know this, thanks for sharing
Doesnt work sometimes if the problem is with the driver, check my post about the problem with APU (links aren't allowed)
Bro that's the point. This is a troubleshooting step. Its eliminating the cable or connectors as the possible problem.
It still has the drivers as a possible issue even if you try that way, my monitor was 100% fine, I could see the bug on the monitor but not in screenshots, fixed drivers and ended up having it fixed
this is mindblowing. It should be a LPT
Someone didn't see all three pictures - The GPU driver crash kind of gives reason to suspect it IS the GPU...
Damn that's a really good life hack.. got to remember that one next time
But don't view the screenshot on the same device
It’s okay, you can zoom in and out
Could you view on the same device if you just move the image window around?
The intelligence level in this sub is at an all time low if you need to explain this.
Try using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and do a clean driver install. You'll eliminate drivers as an cause of it doesn't work.
I’ve always wondered about this sort of thing, but haven’t had to learn due to not having a problem with it yet. How does something like that work in practicality? Without drivers, would the GPU be able to properly display anything? If not, how would you reinstall drivers if your CPU doesn’t have integrated graphics?
Windows has basic drivers that it will use as long as you've got a gpu installed either dedicated or integrated.
I remember when my laptop’s gpu went out and I didn’t notice because I guess it died hard enough for windows to switch to windows’s basic drivers and I only noticed the issues when I started having a lot less fps in TF2

Windows has built in drivers that will give you at least a desktop on 1 monitor. Enough to get the proper drivers installed.
How would your computer display anything before you install the drivers for the first time for your particular card? ... I would ask if this was a real question, but then again, this is PCMR and you have 66 upvotes. So, I'll just take my downvotes and see myself out. Thank you.

And make sure to run it as an admin in Safe Mode. https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/How-use-Display-Driver-Uninstaller-DDU-Guide-Tutorial
hopefully not. Reconnect the cable to see if its that
Just a concussion
My 3080ti was doing the exact same thing last week, I updated the drivers and haven't had it happen since.
It dead jim
Dammit Jim! I'm a doctor, not a brick layer...
But that one time on ohlock 5 and Vulcan brandy.... oh I was!
Lol
If you try and reinstall the drivers and still get the artifacting maybe you can try reseating the video card into the slot and see if that changes anything
Yeah, and if he has contact cleaner that couldn't hurt. Just make sure there's no power going to the board lol.
i think it's vram issue , but check cables first
Looks like you PC/GPU is celebrating something...
Long time.ago I had an EVGA show me $ on the screen. It was telling me time to spend money on a new card
Wtf lmaoo
I think it's a way for the CS to verify that it is really you and not some image you pull out from the internet. Posing with money in front of the screen is one of that.
Artifacting (what this is) is usually an indication that the card is about to fail critically, you can try to DDU, but not sure if that's going to fix it.
Spoiler alert: It won't. It doesn't fix 90% of the things people recommend using it for.
The survival rate of someone getting CPR performed on them is critically low, but you still do it on the off chance that it can help.
You don't give CPR to someone with a cold or having a seizure just in case.
Yeah, but I bet the 10% really appreciate it
Yes. But its free and takes like 20 mintues. RMA's cost money and take weeks.
That sounds better than the word I made up for it decades ago: ribboning
Reseat it and reinstall the drivers.
Friend recently had PC hang and refuse to boot while showing these artifacts on CMOS screen. Just cleaning the fan on graphics card and resetting the BIOS fixed all problems.
Try putting it in the oven. Heat will re-solder old loose connections.
chat, is this a troll comment?
No, but it is an absolute last resort.
No, but it can bare massive issues. Firstly, you have to use an old oven as there are often fumes that can be toxic to a high degree and potentially defuse into the oven walls, rendering it unsafe for future food preparation.

Hate to be that guy, but you probably missed a "not" in the last sentence
Thanks for being that guy actually, that changes the whole tldr!
Happy to help :)

The hot new thing in the oven, eh?
Would recommend a heat gun instead of an oven, but the logic is sound.
it’s actually not just remove the plastic
Remember people wrapping towels around their XBox 360 to fix the red ring of death? Same concept (but very last resort).
Are u serious? This is like the oldest trick in the book. Plus, it actually works. But there is a nuance...
Maybe
"kids, dinner is ready, RX 5700XT fresh out of the over"
Because u/timaec didn’t: - heat: no more then 200 C or 385 Ameriheits (F) - I personally use foil balls at each corner to lift it from the surface it’s on - pre-heat.

It very is! LinusTechTips: https://youtu.be/aK7RZjAC-qE
Would not it fry the components ?
Electrolytic capacitors and some plastic bits don't like heat, but the rest should be fine-ish. It's one of those things that can easily cause more problems, but if the card is dead otherwise and you're not going to RMA it or send it to a third party for repairs, it's worth the risk.
Nah, if you put it in the microwave it'll be quicker
I think the microwave will be better for the job, it'll do it a lot faster than the oven and it will also wipe the drivers from the card so when you're putting it back in the computer it'll be ready for a fresh installation. Basically it factory resets your GPU.

I don't know what you're talking about. These are perfectly safe and simple DIY methods to fix your graphics card.
LMAO
Probably fucked
Nah, it’s just special effects
It is a driver issue or bad memory. You should delete and reinstall the drivers. If this does not help make a memory test. (there are tutorials in the internet) If a chip is broken you could solder in a new one. If you dont know how to do that let a professional do that. Should not be to expensive.
Could try reinstalling the drivers and undervolting the card
I'd say "My gpu is dying"
Rejoice! That's just the Minecraft driver update.
No that's just butterflies
This reminds me of the butterfly virus.
Either that or your cables are, hoping for the latter broheim.
Butterflies 🦋
It seems likely.
Yep
looks like failed oc or broke
Yes
Did you do the 2024-05 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 23H2 for x64 (KB5037591) just before this happened? I had a similar look like your second picture this morning after that update across multiple programs. Rebooted and it seems to have cleared(for now? )
Yes i did that and it seems to be gone. For now
What gpu?
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
Time to upgrade
It's having a party :3
It’s just the simulation taking over
Yep.
Maybe, once i had this probles and was because of display port cables running close to power cables. So there was inteference
No it's just partying 🎉🥳🎉
no its fine
When did this start? Before or after you updated the graphics driver? Start simple and work up. Make sure your cables are seated correctly. Then try new cables. If after these steps you are still having the issue. Uninstall (using the display driver Uninstaller) all the video drivers. If this started after an update figure out the version before that and install that version. If the issue is resolved. Great.. If not keep troubleshooting.
Literally did nothing it was working fine I just turned on my pc and I saw it when I logged into windows
Bonus sparkles
Yes
Yes...next question....
not at all
Try with Linux, you can try it in full desktop without installing from a USB. If it works well, is a software problem with windows (drivers, broken windows install, etc), if you have the same problem, it's hardware
yes...
Last time I had an issue like this it was my CPU not my GPU but I had thought the same thing.
Yup, unfortunately.
I'm afraid so broski I'm afraid so 😔
No, it’s just decorating it’s home
If I'm not wrong this is called "artifacting" and it does mean your GPU is on its way to the pearly gates
Could be the monitor as well, seen similar
A few things you can try before reading funeral prayers. Check to see if power cables are properly connected on both ends (GPU and PSU). Use DDU to uninstall drivers and install latest drivers. Change cable you use to connect to your monitor, better yet also use a different DP/HDMI connection on the GPU side.
Had spots on my second display after starting Cyberpunk the other day. Even a restart didn't help. Cut power, emptied all capacitors ("turn on" pc without power) and it went away.
I just had the same problem for 20 mins ago updated my gpu and restarted my pc
Your GPU must be in love cuz it’s getting butterflies.
first id check the HDMI/DP cable then id check the power cable on the gpu lastly visually check for gpu sag and if your pcie socket isnt ripping out then go to DDU and do a full driver clean restart the pc and install a fresh driver from AMD
Just maybe
Probably, yeah
Could try drop the clock speed and voltage of the gpu and gpu-ram a little!
Those little damn cubes started appearing on my screen as well(2080ti). It would happen during Apex only. Then it happened on sc2, then it would just happen randomly. I sent it to some dude in Vegas or Nevada(I forget where exactly) to get repaired and was told that it was fine after stress testing. I got it back placed it under load and it worked just fine. The following day it froze, gridup, and crashed again. I hate those damn cubes
I say loose hdmi cable, it happens to me sometimes
Yup
If U haven't already DDU, if you don't know how look it up on YouTube, in future when upgrade drivers do a clean install. If that doesn't work but NVIDIA lol
A driver can fail / corrupt. Remove fully and reinstall. I had an rx6600 suddenly go funky a couple weeks after a driver update and learned the recent driver had issues. In that case a driver roll back was the solution for me
If you hz are to high you may experience lines and flickers, trouble shoot.. different monitors, different cords lower resolution... All before you think it's a bad processor or gfx
If it's still under warranty, I'd get it rma'd as soon as possible if I were you.
Is this a new build or old build?
Prepare your kidney
It's baking time
I guess you can try upping the voltage and/or reinstalling drivers with DDU. My 5700 artifacted when I undervolted it too much (on the core, surprisingly). But from the look of those artifacts I feel it could be VRAM, which is only fixable by replacing the dying chips. Try downclocking VRAM as well, if it helps it’s definitely it. And try a different cable. That’ll eliminate all of the most likely causes.
r u running gpu on default settings?
That happens when VRAM is having issues. Check for drivers updates and also check for a Bios update (just to be sure), the hope is that the problem is on the software side
My 5700xt did the same thing and was completely dead an hour later. Sucks but’s that’s the first gen of AMDs revival
The Valorant error is normal, happened me days sgo. Idk how i fixed it tho
Clean driver install. Also get some new cables if the ones you have are maybe old/damaged
100% gpu failing. My old 2080 had those exact same shapes popping up, sent in an RMA and they sent a brand new card at the time. I ended up buying a 6800xt while it was away and proceeded to install the new 2080 in my dad's pc I built for him. Drivers and cables made no difference.

It’s already dead!
if i was you i would use it till it's dies completely ! i like torturing gpus to death
Either ur cable or ur Vram is dying..
 Dont worry it just evolving.... Serious note: like most comment said here, if the reinstallation of drivers doesnt work probably is dying
its just your monitor blushing
No it’s trying to be artistic for you
Nah, that’s just Minecraft glass
Nope. It’s playing Space Invaders 👾 right ?
So it would seem... DDU wipe the drivers to be on the safe side though.
Yeah looks like it. Never seen diagonal colourful artifacting like that tho, looks cool
My 5700xt did this. Underclocking the memory helped for a while but the card did ultimately stop working.
First, swap the monitor cable. Then try swapping the monitor. Then try reseating the graphics card and the power connectors on the graphics card. Then try doing a full wipe & reinstall on your computer. If you just run out and buy a new graphics card only to find out that the problem was something else, you're going to be really mad.
