Graphics malfunction?

[Selestial]

I opened Hulu on this brand new computer I just build with an i5-9600k1050ti+Assrock B360M OEM and On HDMI cables that I know are good on other devices, I saw the screen flash black for a few seconds and then this. I've been getting black flashes here and there and I'm wondering if the graphics card is doing it. I'tll do it with or without HDR on. Using the shift+ctrl+windows+B returns the screen to normal, but it shouldn't be happening at all.

First step is to use DDU then reinstall the graphics driver.

 

See how that goes.

It seems to have had some sort of good effect. Hulu still flashes the screen, but I think that's just the hardware acceleration happening. I'm running furmark on it to see if it breaks it or not.

I assume this is all used hardware? Could be the gpu was not in great condition and sold to you in a badly functioning state. Not uncommon that and it's 7 years old

I bought the GPU brand new from Newegg right before the GPU shortage and it wasn't acting like that before I pulled it out of my system when I got a 3080. I put it back in in it's packaging until 3 days ago and put it into this new computer. My guess is that it might have been a random bad driver installation. Furmark didn't break it, but I did just have the TV tell me no signal when finishing 720p for like 20 seconds before coming back on, but 4k, 1440p, and 1080p worked as intended. The only parts that are seemingly used are the motherboard and cpu. Other than that, I opened new packages for everything else.

Probably was a wonky driver then if its fine right now

That's good to hear , Hopefully it was just a corrupted driver.

 

Let us know how it holds up.

It's not freaking out anymore, but upon opening Hulu, the screen still flashes black for a second and then comes back on. I think that's either Hulu's doing or just typical graphics card behavior with hardware acceleration. My 3080 will do that when I open Youtube on Edge and hover my mouse over a video. The way I understand it is that it's "switching" to use the gpu rather than the cpu. However, when restarting and the lock screen loads up, I see a quick flash of green, but it doesn't seem to be hurting anything.

Is the card overclocked, either by yourself or from factory?

 

Ive manually overclocked my card and i think ive got it to a near perfect max overclock, but when something very graphically intense switches up really fast in a highly demanding game, ill get flashed a green screen too. When i had pushed it too far i was getting green screen, crash and restart, so i know for me anyway green screen means very close to a crash

The box it came in does say "OC Edition", but it mentions something about overclocking software on the back of the box I never bothered to download. I'm not sure if OC is applied to the card out of box or not.

It will be factory OC'd will be out of the box then. You can just chill with it the way it is, or for about 0.3%, maybe less performance drop (less than 1 fps in any given game), download MSI afterburner and dial core and memory clock speed back 10MHz or so and try and see if the green screen flashes still occur. You could also disable your CPU's iGPU if you have one, i doubt that will be any sort of drastic change but it could help something just work slightly better

I'll try that, I appreciate it.
