I don't really know where to put this but since a few months or so I've been getting this "glitch" sometimes when booting my pc. It happens randomly and not often and I am wondering if this is related to some faulty software or hardware. My GPU works just fine (good temps, no stuttering in games nor glitches/artifacts).

 

This only seems to happen when the spinning dots don't show up during the booting process and even then it's a pretty rare occasion. I think as long as I've had this PC those dots would sometimes either show up or not (but not with that "glitch")

 

I've attached a video showing this behaviour to this post.

If you don't notice any problematic behaviour, crashes or those kinds of things I would archive this as Windows being Windows.

 

Sure you could do a clean installation of your gpu driver, check if the gpu is slotted in correctly but this will most likely not fix this as a) the nvidia driver is not active during this stage and b) you should notice other problems during regular use, which you don't.

 

So I would ignore it.

 

If you find any grammar or spelling errors please fill out entry permit A38, thanks.
