I recently installed Manjaro on my computer (inspired by the linux challenge) and I am having an issue that is consistant across other distros as well (previously tried Ubuntu and Fedora). Two of my three monitors are working and being detected, but the third, which is usually my primary display will not even be detected by the system, and this was a problem on every other distro as well. I know this is a problem with linux because the motherboard splash screen shows up on this primary display after post. I have an XFX RX590 and a Ryzen 2600. I think I have the correct drivers installed (video-linux) based on the fact that others said nobody should have to download the proprietary AMD drivers.

Hey, I am doing a new build and my graphics card isn’t going into the pciex16 slot but fits into the pciex4. Motherboard - Z390 UD Graphics card - RX 570. Case - Corsair 275R airflow

Anyone else here with a AMD graphics card with this strange quirk when watching a YouTube video in full-screen it sometimes randomly zooms in on the top left corner until you push a button or move the mouse? I've checked the AMD Radeon settings and I can't figure out how to turn that off whatever it's doing

Hello My name is Krodizz Currently i am having a Laptop with Core i3 5005u CPU with intel HD 5500 4gb graphics and AMD Radeon R5 M330 2gb graphics. My problem is that the Laptop isn't utilizing the Intel HD graphics. I need to play with the Intel HD graphics as it maintains consistency in FPS and amd doesn't. Please can you tell me a fix and help me out with this. Previously it was working well I just reset my windows 10 recently and this problem occurred. And if i try to run Valorant on Intel Graphics i get black screen and GPU is not being utilised. The Drivers are upto date. Please help me out.

I’ve had various problems with multiple builds involving seemingly random TDR failures and graphics driver problems. I’ve done tons of troubleshooting but have yet to get this system working and always have some type of graphics problem. Current exact problem: I play a game, sometimes for a minute and sometimes for 2 hours. I get some screen flickering and a solid color on the screen soon after. Sometimes just the game will crash, giving me a device hung error or something similar depending on the game. Occasionally I get BSOD with tdr failure as the problem. Event viewer tells me display driver failed. I check my current graphics driver and it has reverted to the stock 2006 driver during/after the crash.

I changed out almost every component of that pc and still had the same problems. For this new build I kept the ram, gpu, and power supply from my old build BUT I already switched those parts out in my old build trying to troubleshoot this problem. I’m doubtful the problem is one of these components, but I’m open to anything at this point. Having problems over 2 builds I began thinking the problem was outside my actual build. I was using an 18 gauge power cable, but have now switched to a 16 gauge. I am running directly from a 900w capable USP. It tells me I am getting 125v from the wall. Sadly I can’t change the output to 120v and am outputting 125v but that should be well within a normal range. Anything below 107v or above 127v switches to the battery on the USP. I’ve tried 2020 drivers, august 2021, and October 2021 (I do ddu uninstalls in safe mode when switching) I have hard reset windows multiple times, only installing windows updates, drivers, a benchmark, and a single game. Most of the time I pass benchmarks. It is hard to replicate the problem exactly because sometimes it can play for an hour or two with no problems. All of my temps are normal and good, gpu never gets above 63c. I took this PC to a repair shop and had a professional look at it. He helped with the potential power issues mentioned earlier and has confirmed that physically everything looks good. He was very knowledgeable and helped me rule out power issues, but I’m still having problems. Purely emotional comment: Almost 3 years of gaming over 2 systems and I’ve always dealt with this and am way past the end of my rope. I will be forever thankful to anyone who can help me.

one of my monitors has horizontal tearing. I would rma it but its not safe to ship. 32 in curved viotek display. This is the same monitor from the popular LTT video about best gaming monitors purchased way before they went out of stock pre video. This monitor occasionally (about 40% of the time) has horizontal tearing ranging from .25 inch to 3 inch of the bottom of the display. Pictures of 2 instances attached. Forum posts recommendations Fault gpu faulty cord bad connection Troubleshooting done Replaced cord tested all ports on gpu (pass) swapped ports on monitor (display port/HDMI) swapped power cable( dumb ik but i tried) Reset monitor fiddled with settings The only thing that fixes it about 50% of the time is restarting the monitor or restarting the pc. Im also 90% sure the tears dont show on the monitor splash screen. With all these notes in mind the only idea I came up with is its internal however I have all the tools to resolder or replace parts if needed. But thats more then iv ever done before.

Budget (including currency): $1000 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Web development (no games), very light video editing Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Here's my laptop specs (purchased Jan 2018): Dell Inspiron 7773 - Intel Core i7-8550U@1.80GHz/2.00GHz - 16GB RAM - 512GB SSD - NVidia GeForce MX150 - Samsung 24" monitor - Several external USB HDs My main computer is a Dell Inspiron 7773 laptop and it's working fine. But I want much more screen real estate for programming (I'm not a gamer. At all.) I have a cheap 24" Samsung monitor connected and use it along with the laptop display, but it's just not enough. Dell Support tells me I'm currently maxed out on my video options (1920 x 1080 on both monitor and laptop), but some of the specs I've seen for the NVidia GeForce MX150 seems to indicate that it could drive a wider monitor. Anybody have any more reliable information? I'm also thinking that maybe there's an external device that could drive two external monitors from my laptop (or am I dreaming?). Sorry to sound so ignorant! I've been too far away from equipment specs for too long (I mainly live in databases, and lately web development), so I appreciate any advice and help anyone offers. Am I crazy to think I could get more display real estate with my current laptop? Or should I just put up with what I've got until my next computer (which I will probably build)?

I have recently build a pc with specs given below but there is an issue i am facing ever since , randomly when i doing some thing browsing, gaming etc. on my pc the screen goes black and a sound of device diconnection comes in . But after a restart the screen comes back but with display drivers disabled and the drivers shifted to Microsoft Basic Display driver.After that i have to manually enable the drivers and update the drivers to vega drivers eveytime this happens .plz help!!!

PC Specs: MSI Z170A Krait Gaming 3X Motherboard i7 7700K ASUS ROG Strix RTX 2080 A8G Gaming Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200MHz EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 Samsung EVO 970 500GB SATA SSD Windows 10 I feel like I've been at war with these technicians for 3 months now. I RMA'd my GPU after I was getting extreme artefacting, games were crashing within 30 seconds of launching, my Heaven benchmarks rarely completed and when they did, the score was super low and eventually, just booting up the PC would cause extreme pixilation and freeze on the lock screen. If I got past that, it would sometimes BSoD just idling on the desktop. Anyway, got the card back after they "repaired" it and it seemed fine. I used it for about a week and then all the same issues started creeping back in until I had to take the card out again cause I could barely use the system with it installed. I tried completely reformatting my SSD and reinstalling Windows and all the GPU drivers, tried using older drivers, NVIDIAs latest hotfixed drivers, none of them helped. I'm not an expert, but I'd say that kinda rules out software issues, right? Anyway, sent it back in and now they're telling me it's fine and they can't recreate the issue and they're trying to just palm it back to me. Getting really frustrated, cause obviously something is really wrong and I feel like I've done everything I can to isolate it to being a GPU hardware issue. I mean, my system works just fine without it installed. I don't understand what else it could be? And I have no idea why it wouldn't be acting up for them other than maybe it kinda gets better for a bit after not being used and takes a week or some of use to degrade again, like what happened when I first got it back. I just don't know what to do, I know I need a replacement and I have no confidence in their ability to repair the thing, I've given them ample photo and video evidence of the issues, so I don't know why they're refusing to issue the retailer a credit notice. Am I correct in that it's a GPU issue, or could it be something else somehow? And have I done everything I could to rule out software issues? I just wanna know that I'm in the right here and that they should be replacing the card, I don't wanna be unreasonable, I just want a working GPU as it's been 3 months since I was able to play games or anything. Has anyone been through something like this? Did it get replaced, and if so, how'd you get them to finally do it?

I have this GPU not tested it but after looking at the serial number and model number what GPU do you guys think this is.

Hi guys, I just bought a gigabyte G5 gaming laptop with a 3060 and a I5 10500H. In the device manager the 3060 is not visible. I dont know how to use the Insyde Bios and dont know how to disable Integrated Graphics. Please Help

Hello, i have a few questions for a pc build to do with graphics cards and integrated graphics My currency is in AUD 1.Would be better to get a: gpu + cpu -> $399 + $299 or cpu with integrated graphics -> $399 2. would it be better to spend a bit more for a gtx 1650 or save for a better gpu in the future with a ryzen 5 5600g 3. Are there any drawbacks with using a ryzen 5 5600g 4. Is it ok to use the stock cooler if i were to get the r5 5600g Thanks for your time

I can't really record video of my PC crashing, but it basically restarts my PC when I launch it on battle.net

I’m thinking of upgrading the ancient GTX 645 in my PC to a GTX 1660 but I was wondering whether getting a smaller or low-profile 1660 would mean worse performance than a bigger one, and if so then to what extent?

Hey folks, I'm in trouble. I cannot get the monitor to wake up even though the PC is on. Tried 2 monitors and same problem so i know it's not monitor related. Figured it might be the graphics card so I took it out and tried booting with integrated graphics (Skylake). Well, same thing. So I guess it's not the GPU? Maybe that's a good thing considering GPU prices today LoL So what else is there to try? PSU? it's a 850W Seasonic so I doubt it's that but maybe I can switch it with my other PC's. Could it be the motherboard? I do happen to have an identical one, so should I switch them? I doubt it's a software issue but I'm pretty ignorant on software so I don't want to opine on that LoL. I did clone my HDD to a NVMe SSD a few days ago, and then I run a debloat script. So could that have messed something up? The PC was working well until like 48 hours ago. Only issue I had was some sort of OS conflict where I was asked to choose an OS every time the PC starts (even though I got rid of the old HDD) but I didn't think that could cause this graphics malfunction.

So about 2 years ago or so, I bought a gtx 1070 from a guy on craigslist, who used the card to mine. He said he had it at 90% power to reduce stress on it. This is back when you could get a 1070 for $200. Anyway, ever since then, I feel like mine isn't getting the same results as other 1070s I see on YouTube, or from other friends and stuff who have them. I became more aware of this when my Dad, who also had a 1070 at the time, was playing at 1440p and was getting around 70 fps or something in a game that I can't remember. I looked at my fps at 1080p, and I was getting well under that, like low 60s high 50s.. Your first thought might be that my cpu is underpowered, it's not, I'm running a Ryzen 5 3600. and my Ram is plenty fast, G.Skill 16gb at 3600mhz. With all this said, could it be that the GPU is still running at %90 power like the guy had it set? If so, how would I see that? Any way to test it? (I'm welcome to any input or corrections for anything I have said.) Thank you in advance

I'll start with my specs: ASUS ROG Strix 2080 MSI Z170A Krait Gaming 3X Motherboard Intel i7 7700k 16GB Corsair Vengeance EVGA 750 G2 PSU C: Drive: Samsung Evo Sata SSD A: Drive: Seagate 4TB HDD (No overclocks at all, all components are roughly 4-5 years old except the GPU with is about 2 and a half). So I recently started having issues where every time I would load up a game, within about 30 seconds the game would freeze, my screen would be covered in white squares in kind of a wave pattern and then the game would either CTD or my PC would blue screen. I tried rolling back the drivers, tried hotfixed drivers, reformatted my C: Drive and did a fresh Windows install, swapped the card into a different PCI slot (which actually bought me a day without crashes), and also swapped out the HDMI cables. Eventually I conceded and RMA'd the card. Anyway, I've had it back for about a week now and it seemed fine at first, but now it's doing similar things. It's not as bad as it was, haven't had a BSoD yet and some games run fine, of the games I tested, only my heavily modded version of Fallout 4 seems to recreate the issue. Majority of the time this time though, it's happened on the initial boot. The only one, maybe two of my 3 monitors turn on and the Windows sign in screen will appear all pixelated with lines across it. It's also happened twice just idling on the desktop when I've gotten up to go work out and left it on or something. A reboot usually fixes it. The RGB on the card also reset itself after the first reboot, if that means anything. Although today, it happened while I was watching YouTube, so I restarted the system and when it came back on, it was pixelated again. So I restarted it again and this time when I booted it I got a message from my bios screen saying "Repairing C: Drive" or something like that. After it came back on I think I noticed that copying files was pretty slow, and that was actually entirely on my A: Drive, but it's hard to say for sure because I didn't get a good look at the speed before it finished copying so it could've just been placebo and I'm getting 20-30MB/s now. I've check the GPU temps with RivaTuner, mostly sits around 60 under load, was reaching 65 in Fallout 4, again, never overclocked it. I was just about to do another build replacing everything but the GPU, PSU and storage drives, so I've got a new case, a Ryzen 5800X, Strix X570-E Motherboard and 16GB of Trident Z RAM sitting right next to me and now I'm thinking I'll buy a new PSU and SSD too, just in case. I'd try running the GPU on a test bench setup with all these new components but I was going to do a custom hardline loop in this build so I don't have a combatable cooler, I could get it running to see if it'll post, but I can't really try games on it because the CPU will likely overheat. So I just wondering, what seems to be the issue here? Was the GPU just sent back from the RMA still busted? Or is more likely that it's something else entirely, like the motherboard or the PSU since those are both older components? Should I contact ASUS and try to get a replacement card?

Hello, about 2-3 months ago I've been experiencing an issue where items and shadows are not properly loading in for my games. It's been slowly and progressively getting worse and worse, and I'm running at wits end. For those of you who came here to respond blatantly about how its a psychological issue, please leave now. Otherwise, allow me to go into detail. This is happening on ALL games, even games as simple as ROBLOX or CS:GO. Basically my LOD and shadows misload, and appear directly in front of the character. It's a big eyesore and makes many games unplayable, such as GTA 5, Witcher 3, AC Black Flag, Fallout 4, the list goes on. I have never once experienced these issues before, and I am very certain I would have noticed them if they were happening prior to noticing. A week ago I contacted NVIDIA support, and after swapping out my GPU with an older 1070 module, I can confidently say that it is not a GPU issue. I was told it might be a power supply problem, but before I replace it I want to be absolutely sure. Links to videos of issue will be attached below. Can't do much to fix quality of videos sadly. Will try to capture obvious issues. I am not looking for possible ways to fix it, unless you are absolutely certain. I am only wondering what hardware it would be linked to if it were to be a hardware problem. Trust me, I've tried almost everything. TL:DR - All games look blurry, with shadows and minor details appearing close to the character. It's an eyesore.

Hi, in about half of the games I have tested, my game crashes and I get a notification about 30 seconds after I set the window to fullscreen (as mentioned in the title) that the application has been blocked from accesing graphics hardware. Does anyone have a possible fix for this? Example attached. If more information is needed I am happy to provide.

I have an issue with my graphics card where the computer boots fine and over time (a few minutes) I get these horizontal lines appearing more and more frequently and over larger areas before the computer crashes. It happens much more quickly if I boot a game. Temeratures seem reasonable (around 60C) even at time of crash. I replaced the thermal paste which had no effect. I have tried it in 2 computers (one Intel one AMD), same thing happens. The circuit board has no visible issues. This happened when the card was new (I was unable to return it for various reasons, time has expired) The card is an Asrock Phantom Rx 570. Any ideas would be appreciated, normally I would probably just buy a replacement, but 2021 happened, thanks.

Greetings! The other day my pc started giving a long beep, three short beep post code on startup. It does this every time now but proceeds into my os. The problem is I can no longer access BIOS as that's the only time I get no output. I've tried moving my gpu to a secondary PCIE slot and the behavior is the same. I haven't tried getting to BIOS via integrated but that's less of a concern than my gpu maybe being on it's way out or whatever's going on? ASUS mobo, i9-9900k, Gtx980, anyone with some knowledge to drop on me to figure this guy out?

Hello, My laptop screen started going black for no reason, and I thought it's only going to be black for a second because it happened to me last time but it was for a short time only. But, when it black screen yesterday it was long. I was only on a Zoom meeting and watching YouTube. When I tried to wait, It didn't go back normal I tried to shut down/restarted my computer by finding the windows button and, somehow the screen goes back when I click off the windows start menu, It goes black again... Somehow on the 2nd try, it goes normal but, the screen is glitching on the desktop the name and icon was flickering but somehow my cursor is perfectly fine. and not glitching, when I finished looking what's going on. I restarted my pc, and my screen went black again. I only have one choice but to hold the power button in 6 seconds. to force shutdown. And today, my pc suddenly went slow. I tried to play some Valorant and Hell it was very very laggy i was getting 1-20 fps I had to quit it because I fell like my laptop is going to die. But normally I get 30-60 fps (average 50) I tried to scan for viruses, but it wasn't detected or nothing has found. What's the cause of this? And, is there any I can do to fix this? I have Intel UHD Graphics and, Nvidea GeForce Mx350 CPU Intel i3 10th gen @1.20 GHz max 3.37 GHz Thanks, Nerdesth

My PC crashes on some games, seemingly randomly. What happens is the screen will go black and like a second of the last audio heard will loop for a couple seconds then my screen will go black. When this happens I cannot shut my PC down using the button on the case, I have to turn it off at the power point. I've read online that it could be something to do with my thermal paste on my graphics card. It happens on games that my PC should be able to run(will post specs at end of post). It has NEVER happened on any 2d games. List of affected games: CSGO (happens even on lowest graphic settings) Trackmania (epic games) Portal 2 Halo 2 anniversary (only happened 1 time, I think this is just cause the graphics are really good) Halo 4 (didn't happen at all the first few times I beat the game, started recently) Sims 4 (started after recent update) Cities: Skylines Spore Roblox (only some games are affected) This is strange as some of these games have very old graphics (Spore, CSGO). I think its strange CSGO doesn't run on lowest graphics, but I can run Valorant on medium graphics just fine. Also Portal 2 ran for longer before it happened when I turned graphics down slightly.

Hello So I recently ran into a problem, with AMD's catalyst control center, where my laptop Bluescreen's if I try to open CCC. The same also happens when I try to set my Switchable graphics to "High Performance" in Windows Power Options. When the laptop restarts, the display drivers are broken, and the screen runs at 1024x768. I reinstalled drivers multiple times, both AMD and Intel igp, since my laptop has switchable graphics. The Intel Drivers install correctly and have no problem. The AMD ones sometimes do, sometimes don't (Even after installing they break when I try to open CCC and/or set switchable graphics to high perf.). I know this is not really much of a problem, but most games straightaway decline to run if the Switchable graphics aren't set to High Performance. I thought of installing the standalone drivers for my GPU, but without CCC there are no switchable graphics and I anyways can't enable high performance. Its been a long day of troubleshooting and I am very tired, hence pardon me for my broken english or incomplete provided info.
