Intel graphics

[greenito]

So my desktop started to get green dots on the screen with the intel graphics on and i was wondering if there could be any real damage to the cpu parte of the chip.( already switch to a dedicated gpu)

The cpu is a i5 650 FCLGA 1156.

Probably artifacts.  The iGPU is completely separate from the cores, so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

 

You could have probably fixed it by changing the iGPU speed and voltage.  Dunno why it would have started doing it though.

 

You sure it just wasn't a bad DVI/VGA cable?  Or maybe you damaged the DVI/VGA on your motherboard somehow.

I was just worried because my laptop died dued to a gpu overheat plus it was old. Thanks for putting my mind at ease.

Whoa, thats the first I've heard of that..

 

/Coming from someone who OC'd their HD4400 to 1650Mhz

 

Maybe, due to the fact that many dots and such type of artifacts are caused by memory clocks, BUT igpu's are using system memory for that, maybe there is a ram issue that your igpu does not like..

 

Do a memtest?

That was also something I was thought of, but if there was a problem with the ram he would probably be getting errors all over the place.  I think something with the connection was probably off.

Possibly...

 

But in all honesty, and you prob know this..

 

Flaky Memory can cause a metric butt-ton of random issues.. (Like a thousand possible problems seemingly unrelated,..just from unstable memory alone)

It can cause the most insane little random error, or a major catastrophe as well..

Just one of those weird things you may as well test, cos you never know.

For over a year that ive put that computer in the igpu so i dont think its any type of compatibility but i could actually be a damaged stick of ram. Testing now the ram to see if any bluescreens pop up.
