Bad graphics card?
Bad graphics card?
*X-Files Theme*
Good drugs
have you tried shutting down, and booting it up again?
Those dont look like artifacts.
If you have integrated graphics try using that instead to test.
Yes, I've had him do several different tests including removing and reinstalling the graphics card.
No integrated graphics, sadly.
I'm going to have him try to boot a different OS if I can talk him through a live Linux USB drive.
...
What graphics card does he use?
GTX1060 3GB. I built the PC for him so I feel a responsibility to get this working for him. I've never had a failing graphics card before, so I didn't know if this was symptomatic of that issue.
How does it look in safe mode?
Is it like that in the POST too?
POST is fine, he says. That's why I'm not convinced it's the card.
Are you overclocking?
No.
Have you tried f8ing into safe mode?
Bad driver, I had this happen in windows XP way back when.
put all desktop icons in those little squares and it's a good card.
Try different monitor
Possible you have a gimped chip, bad memory, compatibility issues. Was that a second hand card?
maybe an inept user
reinstall the driver
This just started being an issue.
Same problem.
Probably.
Going to try to.
get windows 7 lol. 1060 3gb is a great card.
overclocked too far
It's not overclocked at all.
>different monitor
>same problem
How about cable
Could be a bad dp/dvi/hdmi
If it persists roll back gpu drivers or install fresh
What cpu is it?
ARE WE /wsr/ NOW?
Hey quit asking questions, those go to /r/.
Mine died like last year
