Acer Predator GTX 1060 stranger dots on screen

Zeyad

Hello guys, I recently purchased the Acer Predator  G5 -793 with GTX 1060 and 6700hq CPU 

I played Assassin creed origins on it for like 2 hours after 2 days I plugged it to an external monitor (Asus vs247hr ) throw HDMI cable 

and start playing after I closed the game I started to see hundreds of dots on the screen they are very small and all over the screen  if I play a video or something with animation they will change place every frame 

and they change colors depending on the background sometimes they are black others are red or green or some other color 

when I play the game the dots disappear if the GPU is working hard they disappear but after 5 minutes when I quiet the gam the appear again 

I tried to change the drivers when I am in safe mod they disappear, I removed the drivers they disappear when I installed new drivers the problem appeared again 

 

after about 3 weeks the problem solved by itself I didn't see any of them and I cheeked a lot I didn't see it so I plugged my laptop to the external screen again  there is no problem but I notice the animation are not smooth even the start menu as soon as I run the game the problem appeared again, please guys help me 

what is this? and why it's appearing? its a new laptop

Time to RMA... sounds like a defective/unstable GPU. If it fixed itself it's probably not the panel so it sounds like the GPU. If it's still within retailer policy then exchange it at the store, if not contact Acer.

Having issues with a Corsair AIO? Possible fix here:

Spoiler

Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?

Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)

Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

-For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked.

-For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components.

-For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors.

That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.

GPU probably desoldered itself or there are some cold joints in the balls. Nothing you can do besides getting a desktop to play games. Laptops are not designed to game for long periods of time.
