When I turned on my pc the screen resolution looked very pixelated. 😳 I've run out of ideas and I can't do much exploring because I can't really read anything. Brand new pc. Refurbished gpu 😬

Did you change the resolution and update the drivers?

I tried to update the drivers using Nvidia's website but it got flagged by malwarebytes antivirus so I decided not to yet. Not sure of it's safe. As for the resolution, I tried and it had no effect on the quality. Just seems to change the ratio/size. If I need to download the driver I probably will. Just let me know.

Malwarebytes is probably doing a false positive. https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx download it here to be sure its the right site.

Hey guys! It's all fixed! All I needed to do was disable antivirus so I could download the new gpu drivers. The link from SlashedM helped a lot given the fact I couldn't see anything. Regardless, the driver update solved the problem! Thanks again!
