Acer Nitro Dying?

[Stashu]

So I have this Acer Nitro VG270U 27’

IPS panel.

For a few weeks now I’ve had this issue where I get these fragmented lines on my screen? It doesn’t happen on my second monitor and disappears after a minute or two.

Provided is the link to a video that shows the issue.

I bought the monitor brand new a few months back, so I doubt the monitor is dying, and I don’t think it’s the graphics card since like I said, it only happens on my main monitor.

even if the screen is dying I’d love more insight as to what is actually happening here as I can’t find any answers anywhere else.

 

Thanks guys!

Have you tried another monitor cable? If on DP, try HDMI and opposite. 2. Temperature isn't over 40C right? If it is, then that might be your issue

I have! I have tried swapping cables with my monitor, and i dont notice this when im playing switch games thru hdmi per say. I am wondering if it is a windows issue as my drivers are all up to date.. stumped.

What GPU is it? Sounds weird but could be the DP output, input in monitor.

I have a MSI 1660 super, I just re-seated the ram and that didnt seem to do much.. also switched the output from slot 3 to slot 1, no difference.

also very frustrating to try and pinpoint, as this only occurs randomly

You did try another DP cable right? Certainly looks like a loose connection

i just diabled hardward accel for chrome, I do see this issue more when im watching a video, hoping for some results, although the imgur i posted is clearly of this issue happening on the desktop.. I'm wondering if having chrome simply minimized would cause this issue

to answer your question, yes i tried just about every configuration

Try creating a custom resolution at 140Hz, Maybe the monitor can't handle 144hz anymore.

I currently have looked thru most solutions at this point, I am currently investigating if my RAM has anything to do with it, as my computer is detecting my 24gigs of ram but only using 12.. I suspect this has something to do with it.. though it doesnt explain why it only happens on one (main) screen.. totally stumped.

HA! I currently am running 2 monitors thru DP, I currently switched the DP version my Acer is using to 1.1 from the 1.4 it was on previously. Havent seen the glitch since the switch, been only about 20 minutes however i will keep this threat updated.
