Artifacts on startup screen and in BIOS but nowhere else

[KarczekWieprzowy]

As the title says, I'm assuming it's a motherboard issue, because when the system boots up everything is alright, but I have no clue what could it be and how to fix it

I've had this PC for about a year and a half and this started only recently

 

PC specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600X

GPU: GTX 1060 6GB

RAM: 16 GB 2666 CL13

Mobo: Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE

PSU: be quiet! 500W Pure Power 10CM

_{Sorry for bad quality, after buying a pc I had no money for phone :I}

Have you tried to flash the bios to the latest version? Just to be sure

Nope, I was thinking about it, but wanted to ask first if there was any other solution

In my experience a BIOS flash has a much higher chance of bricking the card than fixing something like this. If you don't spend all your time in the BIOS I wouldn't bother. It's still working when it matters after all.

 

If you want my guess it's something to do with the very start of VRAM or the motherboard. The BIOS and startup screen don't use much VRAM, so perhaps there's an issue there that doesn't get caught when using more VRAM. Or perhaps it's your motherboard sending weird signals since it stops after startup.

Alright, thanks
