White is not white, unless you're the cursor?

Do you have the Night Light enabled in Windows? Or is the option greyed out?

Hello LTT'ers!

 

Fan of the youtube's, first time visitting the forum, as i'm at a loss in my issue.

 

Recently i build myself a new system (in august?).

Picked me a Ryzen 1700, with a MSI x370 carbon pro, 2 nifty m.2's. H110i for cooling and then awaited the Vega launch.

Which  . . . was dissapointing, so purchased a EVGA 1080 FTW Hybrid.

 

Now since about a week or 2, i've been experiencing some graphical issues.

First it seemed sporadic, but now it is constant. White of webpages, teamspeak interface etc. are not white, they are more .  . beige.

The cursor however, stays completely white.

 

Now obviously, i first updated the bios of the motherboard.

Updated drivers for the motherboard, and updated the drivers for the VGA card.

Now, during the installation of the drivers, something happens. When they have been removed and it starts to initialize the files to re-install, everything turns back white!

Then the installation finishes, and its back to beige.

 

A similar thing happens when installing the motherboard chipset drivers.

But in that case, everything turns back white, untill i reboot.

 

Obviously i have tried contacting Nvidia . .  i have tried hdmi instead of display port.

Tried it with 1 display, reseated the card. Moved the card from one to the other pci-e slot (even tho the 2nd pci-e slot only works at x8)

 

Aside of older drivers, does any1 have an idea what could possible be up?

 

p.s. no my native tongue is not english, excuse for any spelling or grammatical errors.

Check your monitor display settings (the buttons on the panel itself) and see if any special modes are enabled (picture mode, theater mode, game mode, etc) some panels might try and detect what source youre using and adjust how it displays images that way! For example, one of mine has a feature called "dynamic contrast" (which I have turned off)

It kinda sounds like you have F.LUX installed, it'll make your screen warmer at night but doesn't change the mouse, try disabling it if you have it installed.

Having issues with a Corsair AIO? Possible fix here:

Spoiler

Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?

Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)

Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

-For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked.

-For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components.

-For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors.

That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.

All settings like that are turned off, i like to keep control. Only difference i can find i 'I-style'. When i set it to FPS game its somewhat back to normal.

Do not have F.LUX installed that i know, cannot find it either in program list or anything of the sorts. Does seem like a similar feature tho. does explain why it happens mostly in the evening. Ill have to keep an eye on that!

If you print screen your monitor and vie it on another device, is it colored the same?

Never knew about this option, thanks a ton. It was enabled . . . turned it off and fixed the issue.

Thanks!
