Hey, I work as a security guard and one of the cameras has weird artifacts showing on screen which I have seen only on demonstrations of radioactivity. and that is the only camera that does this so does anyone know or artifacting like that beside RA? here is a video of the security camera: https://youtu.be/fkEzfwtlmek Here is a video of someone showing the effects of RA on digital cameras: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVGpYAatb8E if this isn't the right place to ask, can you please point me to a place that is?

Hey guys, I need help! I built my PC back in 2022 October with no GPU using only the iGPU, everything was working fine for a few weeks but suddenly after 6-7 weeks may be, I started noticing random system halts, black screens & restarting issues, twice or more times a week. I was using windows 10 (Pirated Version) back than I thought it was a windows issue, I reinstalled it but issue remained. I did some research which lead me to viewing reliability history and there were some errors of window COM.APPs Update failed, other than this error there was no issue what so ever. No Heat up issue no RAM issue as I Stress tested everything and my system never crashed, After a while this started happening more. Now I started testing more things out Like turning off my E-Cores and disabling XMP, lowering RAM Speeds, Updating Bios & updating Drivers yet nothing solved this issue. after awhile suddenly my NVMe died on me, I had to switch to a Normal SSD (which I am using till date) with Window 11 Pro (Pirated Version) hoping that windows 11 might solve the issue maybe. On Windows 11 I saw this issue went away for a while on iGPU, rarely happening, then after a month I started using a RX 580 and I noticed the issue went away completely which lead me to believe that it was an issue with my iGPU, however unfortunately that RX 580 died preventing me from doing more research and testing (I was scammed by a seller as I bought a hard mined card with no info about its mining, yet there was an error in the windows reliability saying something about my PCI-E Lane error of this I have no idea as of what it meant hence I ignored it) and shifted back to iGPU. ANNND it came back again causing blacks screens and system halts, whenever my I shut my system down or it gets turned off due to a power outage, After which, I have turn the system on again after letting it rest for while, it has to freeze at least once at some point, it may happen when I am in game or just browsing it has no fixed time, just happens randomly. I even tried waiting for it to go away once. Recent Error Now What happens when my system freezes, sometimes there is just a black screen sometime there are artifacts, RGB lights get stuck in a single color loop, stopping any effects applied to them, Keyboard & Mouse stop working only solution is to turn of the system from the power button or the PSU and start it again) after which the system works normally, nothing will crash the system now no matter what I do. I have tried almost everything and I am really trying to figure this out cause this issue is just draining my hardware's life, as I have force restart it again and again. I aslo noticed random jerks and stutters while playing games like LOL, Valorant or CS : Go What I have tried so far: - Stress Testing CPU & RAM using different tools (No Issues, No Crashes) - Stress Testing iGPU using FurMark (No Issues, No Crashes) - Monitored Temps on no stress (25-35) & on Stress (89-91) - Testing with GPU (The issue went away, but it did crash once or twice over the course of 2 months) - Turned off my E-Cores (still off to this day) - Turned off XMP (Nothing Changed) - Tried lower RAM Speeds - Tried multiple copies of Windows (All Pirated thou :p) - Tried using different monitors, Resolutions - Tried Gaming for 12-16 Hours straight on iGPU (No Crashes) - Tried not shutting the system down for more than a week, (Sometimes crashes, sometimes it doesn't - Tried RAM slot switching (didn't swap as I don't have much resources to do so.)

So, I have been running my first rig I built for school with a 1080, Ryzen 7 3700X, Asus ROG Strix b550-E gaming motherboard, Thermaltake 850W power supply, and 32GB 3200 G.Skill Ripjaws RAM for about 2 years now. Everything other than the 1080 was brand new when I got it, 1080 was purchased online and immediately benchmarked with good results. Also this was one of two 1080's purchased at the time for SLI, but the cooler on the second card died a few months ago and has not been in my PC as a result. When I first built the PC (running SLI at the time) I initially had some issues with artifacts. After ruling out SLI I assumed it was a VRAM issue and spent weeks trouble shooting before I figured out that turning off Asus's ambiguous "Performance Enhancer" in BIOS fixed the problem. There was a recent power outage in my area and now the artifacts are back, worse than ever, and accompanied with constant crashes and boot loops. Thankfully my renter's insurance was willing to cover it as a power surge, however I would like to sell any operational old parts so I can build a better system. My new GPU and power supply have already arrived, and I used them to test the old motherboard, CPU, and RAM to find that the artifacts were still there. This was on a clean boot drive with freshly installed drivers. This artifact takes the form of horizontal white lines in video playback (as shown on Naruto's face) when things are stable enough to actually get into video playback. This is now accompanied by crashing, freezing, and boot loops. I have even tried running off of a Linux boot drive with no drivers installed and still it persists. If anybody has the slightest clue what is going on I would greatly appreciate the help. TLDR, random white lines, freezing, and crashes. Not GPU or PSU (tested with different parts). Please help

Hi everyone, i have one problem. Apex Legends Season 1 and 2 worked fine, skipped Season 3, and i try to play Season 4. My problem is, when i turn off Vsync, my game starts showing some square artifacts and in couple of seconds my PC gets frozen and i need to restart it... I try different drivers, settings, even reinstalling my OS didn't fix this problem. And this is a problem with every single game i try to play... My PC specs: CPU: Intel G4560 GPU: ROG STRIX GTX 1060 OC 6GB PSU: 500W MB: MSI B250M PRO-VDH RAM: Kingston HyperX Furry 8GB DDR4 OS: Windows 10 64bit Link of example:

Does anyone know where I could either send in my faulty RTX 2080ti to get the memory swapped out or order memory modules to replace them myself? I am currently experiencing artifacts when my graphics card exceeds 60 C. It makes all of the scenery look like spikes are jutting from everything then crashes my programs. I have yet for the card to actually crash the computer as a whole. I have some experience with working on pcbs, chips, and soldering, but i am far from a professional. I just want to be able to use my card again rather than having an expensive paper weight. I have an AUROS Extreme RTX 2080ti. I replaced the air cooler on the card with a waterblock to improve the temps on the card since my gaming room is not well insulated and gets hot in the summer. I attempted to send it back to Gigabyte for an RMA, but they refused to fix the card or attempt to help in any way. Thank you

Afterburner CTRL+L doesn't seem to work. And I need to do this to see if my gpu will work fine like that, since when its under a certain voltage/frequency - most apps start glitching out. Using a MSI r9 390 8gb, drivers - latest (default windows drivers do work without doing this kinda stuff)

I've been receiving these weird white dots in only the following programs: Nzxt CAM, FB mesenger, Razer synapse (login screen) and LoL (login screen). I've tried different GPU driver updates, different displayport cables and ports (on the gpu), under clocking gpu and nvidia debug mode but I still receive this issue. When I run 3d mark benchmark demo in steam these issues disappear, but only while the benchmark is running. I've never received these in games as well.

Hello guys! So I've been having a problem that i will explain later on but first I'll give some context: (TLDR at the bottom) My mom was in need of a gpu only as a display adapter, because she doesn't do anything graphically intensive, so we got her a Geforce 8400 gs that was gifted to us by a local computer shop. The thing had no fans, only a radiator and an empty fan slot. After a while, my mom started having problems with her screen being completely static and other problems, so I decided to give her another card I was planning to use in another project and started to diagnose the 8400. I booted with the card in my "testbench" (celeron E5200, cheap motherboard I salvaged and 2x2GB sticks) and it seemed to work fine, I downloaded the drivers, restarted and launched MSI AB to check temperatures. oh no So the card was at 82 degrees idle, very bad of course but I wasnt expecting it to literally have a major crash after blinking the screen a few times. I went to the little workshop I have and added a fan to it, nothing fancy, but it would help. Success! 40C° idle and 50C° on furmark after 15 minutes, seemed stable and great... But could it do more? I thought to myself, I opened MSI AB and the Heaven benchmark, raising the bars as much as possible. I was able to get the sliders up until the end and it was working fine, no crashes, nothing. After a while, the screen got stuck, the card was at a mild 52C° but it wouldn't move in any way. After restarting the pc I noticed a clear difference: 8bit color at 640x480. Oof, it seems the card went into a safe state or something, so i started to dig checking what was going on, in device manager the card reported as "vgasave", so i uninstalled that, with all the drivers and reinstalled them. The only thing slightly different was that device manager says Windows stopped the card because it stopped working (Error: 43). I tried: - DDU in safe mode - Reinstalling the card - Putting it in my main pc and installing the drivers - DDUing it in my main pc But nothing, it seems to be rendering it in some kind of software mode, and I see some interesting artifacts, as in I can sometimes see stripes in some colors. MSI AB of course doesn't report it but i found that down in the sensors it said it's current core clock and memory clock were 465 and 266 respectively, which are the same as stock clocks, GPU-Z reports mem and core clocks as a big fat 0Mhz and Windows keeps avoiding the card. So what's up? Thanks for reading. TLDR: Overclocked shitty card > shitty card gets into safe mode > windows disables it > cant get it back up.

Hello everyone, I have a funny story that I thought might be useful to someone so I figured I'll post it here. So recently I bought "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning" game and at first everything worked fine but after a while my GPU (R9 270x) started failing (artifacts on whole screen followed immediately by black screen and everything turning unresponsive) and I had to hard reset my PC to make it work again. Apart from this my graphic card works fine so it's probably driver issue and could be fixed with latest whql drivers. Before resorting to that though, I figured I might try to underclock my GPU instead since the type of failure I was getting seemed the same as what would happen if I put it in an unstable overclock. My edition has a bit of a factory overclock so I kind of returned the chip to it's base settings and increased power limit. And as surprising as it might be it worked. I technically lost some performance but I still got solid 75 fps, so it didn't really matter to me. And now I'm left wondering, can anyone explain why it worked?

So I decided to learn how to overclock and tried it with my r7 240 gpu, I got it to 1000mhz clock and 1000mhz memory with +20% power limit (stock is 780/900) but ive noticed some minor artifacts in the heaven benchmark after running it for more than an hour, I am a newbie when it come to overclocking so should I bump up voltage (I have left voltage at default) or should I be turning down the overclocks a bit?

Hello all, I bought a gaming notebook from ASUS ( GL702VS-RS71 ) @ https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA57X5B24180 Currently at stock clocks and settings fresh out of the box whenever I enter a loading screen (So far on WoW and league of legends) I get random artifacts such as a seemingly overlayed menu screen into the loading screen on WoW and on League I get random green, purple and blue artifacts on the black screen before I enter a game. I'm not sure how concerned I should be since games run fine but it IS a brand-new laptop that I just dropped $1,700 for and would like it to run like a new machine should. Also, an RMA wouldn't be possible right now as I'm in a deployed location and would prefer to exhaust the troubleshooting on my end before I RMA as I will have to wait until I'm back in the states. If anyone has any suggestions I would be extremely grateful. Thank you for your time, -Matt

Started getting some artifacts on the monitor, top right corner horizontal lines flashing, black and white snow, sometimes green screen for a second, only in game or video playback, normal on desktop( no artifacts, maybe a bit lighter colors but not sure). Have two monitors connected, one on hdmi one on dvi (over dvi to hdmi adapter), artifacts shows only on the monitor that is connected to dvi , tried different monitors, only 1 monitor on dvi, different dvi port, still artifacts. Just 1 monitor on hdmi all works fine. Problem started the day i cleaned the pc, maybe connected cant see how. Looked online for clues: Bad cable-all works well on hdmi port with the same cables, Driver- all works on hdmi, still clean installed different driver same story, DVI port died/dying- both dvis?, Graphic card dying(Bought maybe less than 6 months ago)- would it work on hdmi but not on dvi, The one i don't understand something about PSU ground lead( I don't know maybe someone can explain), and the one i suspect bad dvi-hdmi adapter.( ordered new one before i thought anything else could be wrong) Anyone have an idea what could be the problem, everything worked fine for the past months since i bought new graphic card and psu.

The game runs fine at 30-40 fps when driving and 50-60+ when not with all the settings down to Normal except for the Texture Quality which is set to Very High. Res is 1366x768 with FXAA on, running on DX10. The game was fine the first couple of days but yesterday I wanted to experiment with the settings and tweak some stuff, after changing any setting there is a chance for my game to show these weird colors/textures outta nowhere! I'm guessing its my GPU.. its a budget one, not that great. What can I do here?

Hello everyone! I have a little problem. My gpu (GTX 950) is showing artifacts when playing any 3D game, but when I launch furmark there is nothing. I have tried many games and all of them show up artifacts, but any kind of benchmark won't. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone encountered similar issues on their windows 10? Any idea what might be causing this? .. No drivers appear to be missing, and the display driver is up-to-date.

Hey guys, I coming to you guys for advice after watching a linus tech tip YT vid. I have what I believe is an issue with my GPU. For the past week, my laptops screen has been plagued with unexplained tearing in games/videos, pixel noise, and constant visual artifacts. The problem intensified the higher my display brightness, and the more taxing my power usage setting (on power saver and low brightness the issues were much less noticeable, but still present).Theses issues immediately persists on each restart, and in safe mode. I did a check and all my drivers looked to be up to date, and 2 days ago clean installed all of them. From online research it sounds like GPU failure, but correct me if I am mistaken. In the past month, the laptop has had these issues and also the problem of the screen remaining black on startup, however these have resolved themselves within the day. I seek advice on how to repair or if necessary replace the card. If the latter is needed, do you have any recommendations for a card that will fit in my laptop? I have had this laptop for almost 3 years and for budget reasons need to wait at least another year before buying or building a replacement. I am a film student, so I use my laptop for adobe programs and video games mostly. Besides the inconvenience of the situation, my Finals are just a bit more than a month away I need to get my rig up and running ASAP. Any input is greatly appreciated, as my free time (and thus ability to quest out the answers I need) is limited.

Hey everyone, So I recently heard about the issues with the EVGA FTW cards having faulty VRM cooling. Basically a few days after Jay's video came out my graphics card has been acting strangely. All videos, regardless of where they come from, including GIF's will have weird black artifacts all around the top half of the video. Rewinding the video fixes it, but it is still a very frequent issue. This hasn't affected my gameplay though. At least, not until yesterday. Yesterday I started up the witcher 3 and now I have these huge white lines across the left hand side of my screen. I now find this in every full screen game that I play. My latest attempt was space engineers. To make things even stranger, I can literally screen cap and the issue is caught on the image (pictures attached). I feel like this might be an issue with the latest drivers. Basically I'm just asking for advice. Could this be a problem with the most recent driver update, or do I have to RMA my card? Thanks everyone.

Hello all, I was browsing some local ads and i found a R9 290 advertised as half working Do you think this is savable? Artifacts during crash MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION bsod Artifacts before crash Artifacts during fresh install He said the temps are normal, and when he puts a different gpu in it works properly. Any help? P.S it's being offered for 100 euros

So I've been getting artifacting with my 1070. It's in a bit of an unconventional setup though. The artifacts show up as horizontal bars and very rarely missing textures or parts of textures. The bars are usually small and black and per-application (ie, alt tab and they're gone, alt tab back and there they are. Or reload the webpage and they move/go away). Sometimes though the bars are thinner but longer, randomly colored, and don't go away or move. They do show up in screenshots. First, it's running on server hardware with a redundant 750w psu setup, so I thought it was caused by power fluctuations when the system goes from one psu to load balancing with both psus, but unplugging the second psu and restarting hasn't helped. other things that might be at the root: The gpu is downstream of a pump on the cpu's watercooler and some fans. Noise from these? This is running as a passed through gpu to a windows vm via virsh and kvm. i've heard of issues from the host putting things into swap space before, could it be this? Bad driver. I've already upgraded the driver once, but it didn't fix it. Bad gpu. Some other random thing I'm missing. Thoughts?

Hey! Alright so I have been having this problem for a long time now, and I am pretty much out of ideas as to why it is happening. Can't explain what it is but let me show you. Specs: MOBO : Intel S5520SC CPU : 2x Xeon X5670's 6 cores (12 cores/ 24 threads) RAM : 24 GB 1333 MHz GPU : Gigabyte GTX 1060 6 GB PSU : EVGA 750W GQ When does it happen: Usually while watching HD+ Videos on YouTube Watching movies on other software that use WebKit (i.e Popcorn Time) Watching Netflix aswell Rarely happens in VLC. Firefox and Chrome At one point I was watching a movie and my whole system slowed down like crazy BUT it didn't freeze. Mouse started moving slowly, num key light if pressed takes 30 seconds to show any effect. Things I have done : Reinstalled Windows 10 Pro Uninstalled Windows Nvidia Drivers (385) and Installed Nvidia Official (388) Downloaded High bit-rate videos and played them in VLC player and it didn't reoccur. GPU and CPU stress tests show nothing Games that are CPU and GPU intensive show nothing. UPDATE: I tested the same symptoms on Linux (Debian 9.2) and it DID NOT HAPPEN. Therefore, it is not hardware and is primarily Windows specific. Temps seem to be normal within 40c across the board except for CPU 2 which is generally a few degrees hotter but that's because of a smaller CPU cooler. Can someone help? Is there a way to show a dump of the GPU ? I have looked around and I only came across Nvidia Developer Modes using SDKs ....etc

Hello last year I bought a XFX R9 280x Double D from Amazon, a couple days after building my newly built gaming pc an i5 4590, 8GB of Crucial ballistic ram, 750w Corsair power supply, ASRock Fatalty z97 killer mother board, 1TB Segate HDD I started to notice that in games I would start to get graphic artifacts textures stretching, pixels that would flicker etc games were unplayable once they started happening. Then after I would exit the game hoping the graphic artifacts would stop I would go and watch youtube videos, I would get lines in the youtube videos as well as just browsing the internet I would get lines across the browser flickering from time to time. I did some research and found out that the core clock speed and the memory clock speed is to high and people recommend to down clock both the core and memory speeds just a little bit. After doing so it fixed it for about a day and started back up again. I called XFX and soon got a RMA after putting the new GPU in and played around in some games and got more graphic problems the problem seemed like it never stopped. I've went about a week or so without having problems and then it continued some days would be better than others. The pictures below make me confused because during idle or even just at the desktop the memory clock would go from 150 MHz to 1500 the core clock would go from 300 MHz and jump up to 850 MHz randomly without having anything on my desktop or without doing anything other than having MSI afterburner open I put some pictures of the hardware monitors could anyone help me with this I also called XFX for the third time and even without having my Warranty active they are still going to RMA the card sadly I feel like this will not help me or fix the problem because RMAing the card once didn't help they sent me two bad cars so what are your guys idea on what should I do? Thank you

Weird artifacts with differant colours showing on screen after overclocking. They only appear when I'm using my mouse/keyboard when im at desktop, google chrome or anything similar. (NOT IN GAMES OR WHEN RUNNING STRESSTESTS).How this happend:I overclocked Core Clock, Core voltage, raised power limit to max and put 75C as max temp.After this I started raising Memory Clock, I kept stress testing each time I raised it and it seemed stable as ever. When im at 1850 (stock is 1750) I ran a last stress test and now I have artifacts on my screen.What I've tried so far:Stopping the overclockDownclocking speed and voltageRaising voltage and leaving the rest at stock speed.Turning everything on and offPulling out cables and putting them back in. Letting everything cool down overnight.Doing a pc reset to the date that I first booted my pc and installed the drivers and nothing else.Sinse everything is fine when gaming or running stress tests I believe nothing is broken but I don't know much because this is my first time overclocking.The max temp the GPU got was 73C and this was ages before I got this problem.Questions:1: Is my gpu broken?2: If it is broken can I return it and get a refund?3. Can updating drivers or MSI afterburner (if possible) solve this?4. Is overheating the only way to destroy a GPU while overclocking and if so is 73C enough to fry a rx 470 8gb?5. I feel like this has something to do with the Memory Clock, is 1850 alot if stock is 1750?6. (random oc question) If my GPU usage keeps going down to 0 sometimes during a stress test mean that it's not stable? The stress test I ran often goes black and fps changes from 20-100 with an average of 40ish fps.When reinstalling GPU drivers I ended up with no drivers (i think). I tried starting a game and it did not work. During this time I saw no artifacts on my screen.

Hey guys, I'm a very low budget PC user from India I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S410p laptop With I3 4010u Nvidia GT 720m 4Gb ddr3 I do everything in it including gaming Recently I had some trouble with the power switch so I send it to a local repair shop to fix it . They said everything is working fine and I too verified that , since the laptop already had thermal issues I planed to do a GPU stress test, it went fine for a few minutes then I started seeing artefacts and after some more minutes the artifacts become so much so that there was nothing on display but random lines and drawings. I did everything I can re install tha drivers, reapply the thermal paste check the temperature and everything was fine, but the artefacts was shown even in the Nvidia preview settings panel As a last resort I wiped the partition and reinstalled Windows and after that I installed only the Nvidia drivers. this time the artifacts was gone and everything was fine so I installed the rest of the drivers and restarted the PC and the artefact came back. Can anyone confirm if this is a hardware issue ? Please reply cause this is the only PC I have which has a dedicated GPU Thanks in advance Linus please help

Hi LTT forums. so over the past few years ive had my trusty HD7950 and all has been good until recently, in the last year or so ive been getting into overclocking it and increasing the overclock every now and then just to test the limits. today i encountered a very odd issue. At first my Graphics card was stuck at 500mhz (i previously had it at 1.1ghz) and would not change; however reinstalling afterburner and restarting my pc fixed it. then about 5 or 10 minutes later, after reapplying my overclock, i started to get artifacts on the desktop. I tried lower overclocks but it seems anything over stock causes the artifacts. so i overclocked as normal and tried to play a game (PUBG) and i got no artifacts whatsoever in the game. when i have my gpu on stock speeds and voltages, there are no artifacts on the desktop at all. I've tried switching monitors to my old monitor i had before replacing it with my current one and there was no artifacts in windows on that monitor. so im really confused as to what the problem is could it be the overclock or possibly just the dual monitor setup? or is my 7950 finally dying? any help would be greatly appreciated!!
