xs1 Posted January 8, 2018 CID Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Ok so im having this weird issue... Ever since i installed my new video card from Newegg (ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 580 T8G https://www.neweggbusiness.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4PP5VS3724&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleBizMKPL-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleBizMKPL-PC-_-pla-_-Video+Cards+-+AMD%2FATI-_-9SIA4PP5VS3724&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyszSBRDJARIsAHAqQ4qjrHnjH_-urLmubccLYaP3UbzOCWg70TkBbq3OjWLwuxZNeQBhwOYaAkXOEALw_wcB) Randomly, could be every 5 seconds, could be every 25 seconds, may not do it at all. i get this checkerd pattern across the screen that freezes the computer (mouse and keyboard) than in about 2 to 3 seconds the display almost.... reboots... or recovers and everything's fine again till the next spazz out.... ive already tried reinstalling video card drivers. I've already reformatted multiple times. I've tried using other HDMI ports on the card, nothing has remedy'd this issue... I'm thinking i got a bad video card out the box, and of course now its out of warranty. Ill attach a screen shot (cell phone pic) of what i see.. ANY .. ANY assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cause...... I'm stumped! Edited January 8, 2018 by xs1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted January 14, 2018 CID Share Posted January 14, 2018 I think your spot on about a bunk card. I take it by now you've found something else to put in there? edit: Although that is a strange pattern isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted January 15, 2018 Author CID Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) no, this pc literally costed me an arm and a leg.. and it didn't start till this card was installed. I've tried benchmark testing, gaming, etc. everything to stress the shit out of this card, and it performs well and doesn't reproduce this in that manner. LUCKY enough. as i said , it doesn't do this during gaming. it only really does it in web browsing & low strain activity as strange as that sounds. The pattern varies in color, but typically the same pattern. 17 hours ago, mudmanc4 said: I think your spot on about a bunk card.

mudmanc4 Posted January 15, 2018 CID Share Posted January 15, 2018 Well you know, I am a collector of tech items that piss off others, tell you what, I've got this Dell D810 running Slacko I'll trade ya straight up for. Seriously though, from what your saying where it performs great under load, have you tried to clock it up a bit, or fool with BIOS settings for the port?

Not quite sure why one would have a bearing on the other but well see i guess. lol so far pretty happy well check after shes run for a couple days. thats usually the test, Edited January 15, 2018 by xs1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clock down the proc multiplier it directly effects the entire bus (likely not coming close to straining that CPU anyhow), set RAM defaults, and all fans full bore (including case) to eliminate any possibility of a hot Northbridge.

mechati Posted February 3, 2018 CID Share Posted February 3, 2018 Seems like the card would be the most logical culprit. 1. Could be your memory going bad - it happens. Download memtest86 (https://www.memtest86.com/) and run each memory stick individually just to eliminate the possibility. 2. Or could be as simple as bad cable from GPU to monitor... 3. Although, power supply could be an issue as well. Got any other power supply you could test your system with? 4. Less likely - check the system with different monitor 5. And least likely your motherboard is going bonkers:) Try to switch GPU to other PCI slot and see if you having same issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats even better is there on back order so they just had to refund me instead of replacement. Edited March 12, 2018 by xs1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
