I have dead pixels? advice?

[Osoyon]

Hi friends, my pc have dead pixels. Is it because GPU is broken? I did clean windows install and all driver updates but it didn't fix it. Monitor works fine on Nintendo Switch but not on PC. Maybe cable issue?

 

spec:

i5-10400F CPU @ 2.90GHz  

8,00 GB Ram (original was 16gb but duo blue screen of deaths i had to change to other ram, and dead pixels were weeks before bsod started)

GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.

 

Anyone idea why still dead pixels?

Can't see anything wrong in this screenshot?

 

Actual dead pixels are a monitor defect. They're literally part of the display panel not working.

 

Also, dead pixels won't be captured in a screenshot, because a screenshot is just a capture of the information the PC is telling the monitor to display, and on our monitors that don't have dead pixels it will look fine. Using a screenshot to show dead pixels is like if you had a problem with your speakers and sent us an mp3 file to find out if we could hear the static too.

Try replacing the display cable to the monitor.

Try using a different display to rule out the monitor being the problem. If your TV has HDMI you can use your TV as a display if you don't have a spare computer monitor to use.

 

If you still see the artifacts with a different display cable and on a different screen then it is an issue with the graphics card.

He doesn't know the difference, he is not having dead pixels but his GPU is artifacting ( see all the little green dots )

Thanks it's fixed. It was cable issue. I used HDMI cable from my Nintendo Switched to my PC and dead pixels are gone.

Great!  As said, you did not have dead pixels. You had what is called artifacting.   Dead pixels are either completely white or black and usually only 4-5 at once, not 600 like your monitor showed.  Doesn't matter now, you dont have the problem anymore!  Good
