Random colours every 10 secs

[OctanGaming234]

Hello there. I was enhancing some old videos using Topaz VEAI and my PC crashed. After restarting, every 10 to 20 seconds or when I open something that uses my GPU, both my screens go into random solid colours, like brown, white, orange etc. Then it stops and returns back to desktop and makes a device connected sound. I checked on MSI afterburner right after and it says my GPU is Microsoft Basic Render Adapter. However I have all my drivers up to date and device manager properly reports my GPU.

I think my GPU keeps disconnecting, some how.

 

Things I’ve tried:

Restarting many times

Reseating RAM sticks

Reinstalling GPU drivers including studio drivers (see if it works or not)

sfc /scannow

DISM

 

Specs:

Ryzen 5 3600 stock

MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX latest bios

2x Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 8gb cl16 3200

RTX 2060 SUPER Founders Edition

Corsair TX550M psu

Windows 10 21H1 19043.1288

iCue Software and Dragon centre latest

Thanks in advance for any help.

Things you can try :

- re plug your screen if possible with another wire

- DDU your drivers (to have a proper clean install)

- De-activate XMP for your memory profile.

Thanks for replying. Unfortunately it hasn’t improved. Same issues if not a bit worse.

Update:

I have put in a spare HDD and installed windows. I’m having the same issue once I install the NVIDIA driver. Might be a hardware issue with my GPU or a driver issue but it was working fine until it crashed.

I just put in a 780Ti and this appears in DDU: (check attachments)

It still believes the 2060 is connected when it’s not, where as the microsoft driver is GK110B, codename for 780Ti. Not sure whats happening but this is clearly the issue.

BTW: there are no issues with screen going black and rand colours with the 780Ti it’s got to do with the 2060.
