Technane, thanks so much for your advice. I was able to get the second PCIe slot working after that, but anyway, the issue still persists. So I suppose the GPU is probably at fault right? I'm not sure. Guess I'll just ask MSI. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the response. Bit of an update: I tried the card on the second PCIe slot, but I can't get any signal. I read somewhere that switching to UEFI in BIOS would help, but it was still a no go. Also, I tried updating BIOS and chipset drivers just in case, but that didn't work.

So, my new PC build has been having issues displaying programs within Windows correctly (thread), and I opened a support ticket detailing them my issues since it's likely a GPU/mobo issue. It's been over 4 days and they haven't even responded. Anyone know what's up with them?

MSI B450M Mortar Max Ryzen 5 3600 MSI RX 5700 MECH OC Coolermaster MWE 600W White 230V V2 Team T-Force DD4 16GB 3200 CL16 Scenario: Just built a new rig for gaming. After a few moments of normal usage, programs in windows appear entirely as black windows. They are responsive and I can click and interact with things normally within them, but they appear completely black. This has happened so far with Chrome, Steam, and discord.

I ran it two subsequent times for 3-4 minutes with no errors on each. -Ran Video Memory Stress Test with no errors -Furmark for around 2-3 minutes -Ran 3DMark's Time Spy and looped Fire Strike for around an hour; no errors. -Finally, I did a fresh install of Windows. The problem still persists. At this point, the only other thing I can think of is testing the GPU in the second PCIe slot. I'd test it with another GPU but I don't have any other right now. BIOS is up to date. I'm inclined on just RMAing the damn thing. Any pointers? Thanks so much for any help.
