Hello I'm hoping someone can help me. So every now and then when I have applications open I get this strange artifacting on screen like in the picture below. Some times its like negative colors to where you cant see any of the images its just bars of multiple colors. This never happens on the desktop or when playing games could this be an issue with my gpu VRAM? I sure hope not with the price of GPUs right now lmao.

Unless your GPU is overheating, it's either a corrupted driver/OS install, or a failing GPU.

But if it's not happening under load, then I"m at a loss, as that when failures make themselves manifest. 

 

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

Is the card in question the GTX 1080 from your signature? I would open up an overclocking utility and make sure all the values are reset to zero. 

Then press (windows)+ctrl+shift+B as this reboots the display driver. 

If that doesn't fix it. Power cycle your computer with either a reset button if you have one on your front panel or by pressing the restart button in the start menu. Restart, not shutdown, as per the most recent Techquickie video on the sidebar. 

I would then recommend using Display Driver Uninstaller (just google DDU) to completely remove the display driver, then use the basic windows drivers to navigate to the nvidia or radeon website and download the latest drivers for your GPU. Google latest (your gpu) drivers and it will probably lead you to the right place. 

DDU does require you to reboot into safe mode, and you can just google how to do that too. 

 

I have had problems like these occur upon opening up non-gaming applications, and one time it only appeared inside of Radeon Adrenalin software. 

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500

I tried the first solution to reboot the display driver and so far so good its been a few hours since i performed it.
