Guys how easy is it to break Ethernet port? Today 3 guys came to setup home network and were struggling to put Ethernet in my PC, I think its probably because of how hard it is to reach my PC IO panel. After many failed attempts I saw how frustrated he became since it's his job to do these kind of thing and he even refused my help. After many attempts he then started adding a lot force, the other guy noticed and connected the cable himself and then started laughing at him later because of his stupidity. I'm worried that because of his stupidity he might've caused some damaged to my mobo Ethernet port. Is there's a way to know if there's any damage or not?

True, I'll give it a try

You can actually run Gsync on freesync monitor

I seriously hope its my monitor and not my 2080 gpu. The monitor is under warranty but I think I'll just buy Gsync monitor and sell my current one, I don't want this nightmare to repeat.

After multiple hours of troubleshooting I'm finally able to find what was causing random horizontal static screen bar and sometimes GPU artifacts to appear when running fullscreen applications. I had to restart my entire PC even after disabling Gsync in nvidia control panel and disabling Freesync ultimate engine in my monitor for these settings to actually get disabled. Why are these artifacts appearing now after 4 months of usage though? Can anyone help me? Did running Gsync on Freesync monitor damaged my GPU? Here are the pictures of artifacts- [EDIT] Nevermind....artifact still appear even after disabling freesync and gsync but instead of them appearing when i'm in game, they appear right when my monitor gets display output from GPU when booting. Right when monitor LCD power up and get signal from GPU. This is the only picture I was able to take because artifact happen under half a sec

[MISSCLICK] I wish there was a way to delete post

I haven't stress tested yet but ran multiple benchmarks yesterday just to see if my GPU performance was dropped and while running those I saw no artifact appearing. It seems like artifact only appear when my monitor get any new data from GPU to output i.e when my PC first boots or when I switch from desktop to fullscreen application

yes it only happens when I use DP. I've been using this DP cable for around 4-5 months but only now I've been having artifact issues and this cable is even VESA certified. The model name is- Accell B142C-007B-2 Without any other cable or monitor to test on it's extremely hard to pin point what is causing this problem

What if its not the GPU but the monitor port or cable itself though? There seems to be no GPU artifact when I use HDMI. But if nothing fix this issue i'll do as you said

So far i've only tested alt tabbing in one game but GPU horizontal static bar appear everywhere for a sec, even in Windows boot logo. I found a similar thread https://community.amd.com/thread/254429 He has the exact same static horizontal bar issue but there are no mentions of GPU artifacts though and only difference is his GPU artifacts still appears after switching to HDMI I'll first try DDU and see if there are any difference, if nothing works out then i'll downclock the VRAM

I don't know how to turn down GPU VRAM clock speed and yes, it is easily reproducible. All I need to do is alt tab multiple times while i'm in game.

yeah I disabled Gsync in Nvidia control panel and disabled FreeSync Ultimate engine in my monitor settings and tested it but no difference, I even unplug and replug DP cable too but results were still same. I tried disabling and enabling Gsync and ultimate engine FreeSync as you said but still there's no difference. Only when I use HDMI I never get static screen and these GPU artifacts.

nope everything is running at stock but I am running this monitor with adaptive sync. I tried disabling adaptive sync but the results were the same. There are no issues when I connect my monitor via HDMI, it only happens when I use DisplayPort

When I alt tabbed from desktop to the game I experienced GPU artifact for the first time. Is this sign of my GPU dying? My GPU is 2080 and only a year old. I remember when I alt tabbed back to the game at first the game looked normal for half a sec until I saw red horizontal bar which caused my monitor to restart itself, after restart artifact appeared. I was able to recreate it after trying multiple times and here are the pictures- When I alt tabbed back, the game looked normal but with this random red horizontal bar Then after my monitor restarted itself I got GPU artifacts Alt tabbing back to the desktop sometimes ended up no display output to monitor or randomly fixing GPU artifact.

My DP is Accell B142C-007B-2 which is VESA Certified and after 4 months of use it now started causing static screen/GPU artifacts to appear whenever my PC boots or whenever I switch between full screen applications. The static screen appears for only 1 second and GPU artifact stays until I alt+tab. Here's link to DP port mentioned- https://www.amazon.com/Accell-1-2-VESA-Certified-DisplayPort-1920x1080/dp/B00CD1FB3A If I use this DP for longer will it fry my GPU in future? After reading this Reddit post I'm worried that my GPU has already been damaged. Here are examples of static screen and artifacts- I came to the conclusion that it's my DP port which is causing this issue right after I switched back to my monitor provided HDMI cable.

It's Cooler Master 750w PSU

If nothing works out I'll reset cmos as my last option. Here's a picture of static screen i'm experiencing when opening games

Yes I do have latest driver and this time my entire screen turned into static white screen when running a game for half a second, this never used to happen before.

I was just about to edit my post because I just saw white static screen again when I ran Deus Ex Mankind Divided. The static screen appears randomly and only for 1-2 seconds. I hope its motherboard issue and not GPU but everything is leading towards GPU and I can't seem to reproduce because the static screen appearance is so random.

I just experienced voltage fluctuations where my lights were so dim due to low voltage and then suddenly went back to normal or even brighter then how they used to in probably under 3-5 seconds. Right when this was happening my PC was in middle of boot where then I noticed wide band of static white screen instead of boot logo. I enabled Windows 10 WHQL in BIOS and so my boot time only takes around 3-5 sec so I didn't had much time to react or take any pictures of the static screen. Since my PC costs fortune I'm worried that this event probably caused some hardware damage. So far I don't see that static screen while booting anymore nor I see any difference in benchmark results but I'm still worried and not quite sure what caused it to appear. All of this happened in such a short amount of time that I couldn't even react. Is this a permanent damage to GPU or is it even GPU related at all, did something else caused static screen to appear? My monitor is Samsung C27F591 and my displayport cable is Accell B142C-007B-2 VESA Certified. Edit- Here are examples of white static screens when running games, sorry for potato quality.

I hope it's the cable and not the GPU. The white noise occurred right when boot logo showed up.

My monitor is Samsung C27F591 and it's connected via displayport. I bought this vesa certified dp 2-3 months ago so I could run adaptive sync.

As the title says while I was booting my PC my screen had static white noise which covered the entire width of the screen and its height was around 4-5 inches. I had that white noise screen for 1 sec and then my mouse started lagging after second boot for 1-2 sec as well. I then ran benchmarks because of what I experienced recently and all of my results were the same. Should I worried about this? Also I remember I had voltage fluctuation right when I booted my PC but shouldn't my UPS prevent any voltage fluctuation damage? Edit- After doing some googling I saw this video which is quite similar to what I experienced but for me it lasted only 1 sec and it covered the entire width of screen and height around 4-5 inches.

Today while I was pairing my phone to my PC I saw these Microsoft devices with random string of letters and numbers which were already paired. Should I remove them or leave them as they are? This one popped up right after I paired my mobile- To me they seems like duplicate config of same devices and junk files which Windows never deleted.

I don't think its margin of error because I ran crystaldiskmark 10-15 times and my speed never exceed above 2220MB/s now but it always did before reinstalling Samsung Magician
