Alienware aw3420dw issue?

I have an Alienware aw3420dw.  99.9999% of the time, it is perfect.  But rarely (2 times in the last year), I will get an effect as seen--attached.  The screen is split in half with the left side showing the effect.  I also run a 2080 super, but I don't think its a video card problem, because I am able to navigate the mouse around behind the artifacts on the left side, and very carefully find the start menu and shut down the computer.  On restart, the screen is fine for months until it seemingly randomly happens again.

 

Anyone seen this or have any idea what may be causing this?  Thanks.

Don't know if you'll see this but I have the exact same thing happening to my monitor. Did you find an explanation?

If a PC restart fixes it, but the monitor doesn't also restart then it's likely a software problem with your PC. Maybe DDUing will help.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
