Display glitching/artifacting on loading windows but not in bios.

[Nebula Swirl]

I have recently built a brand new PC and at first it was working perfectly, however after a month it started doing this on startup (every single time) and I don't know how to fix it. However after an uncertain, random amount of time the glitching stops and the display is fine.

I have done a full DDU display driver uninstall and installed clean drivers TWICE, changed HDMI cable and re-seated my GPU.

Important Specs are:
Ryzen 7 5800X3d
NZXT N7 B550
RX 7900XTX
Sabrent Rocket 4 2TB

Please find attached a short video of what I am experiencing.

looks like the GPU is marginal, and the moment windows kicks it to a graphics mode (bios/uefi uses a very low level compat mode) it glitches out.

 

or in short.. RMA.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat. I have to RMA this?!

well, it's clearly broken.

 

what happens when you run a benchmark (like unigine superposition, for example)

Worked just fine (4k optimized) (didn't run the stress test one because I ain't paying for that shit)

Here is a furmark test too. Other than on startup it works perfectly.

can you try it on a display port cable?

I've been using a HDMI 2.1 cable since my monitor (Gigabyte M28U) does not support displayport 2+ (for the 4k 144hz)

Re seating the HDMI cable does not fix the issue

yeah it wont be its only during start up right. can you check the pcie gen model in bios

[Nebula Swirl]

When I have re installed my drivers it worked perfectly with no glitching UNTIL there was an error while playing a game. It froze and black screened for 5-10s before (I assume) the drivers restarted and the bug report tool popped up, Where would I find crash events in my AMD driver software so I can give you more information?

Just for giggles drop it to gen3. There really isn’t a performance impact, so if that fixes it you’re golden.

Update: it may be the monitor though I don't know. I tried another thing anyway. I downloaded the amd chipset drivers which I apparently forgot to do and after restarting it doesn't glitch out

another thing I have noticed is that the glitching goes away by itself after some time from turning it on.

However a new problem has reared its head:

do you have another monitor on hand by any chance? i had something similar happen to me when i plugged in my 3080oc when i rebuilt my rig into a new case. it turned out the monitor didnt like the DP cable i plugged in.

Gigabyte M28U and it only occurs in War Thunder... Today I discovered it is because of the in game HDR settings which (I think) is conflicting with Windows 11 auto HDR. Anyway I turned it off and it no longer has chromatic abberation.
