Are there graphical issues in Windows 10?
Are there graphical issues in Windows 10?
I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue so I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong section.
So for the past few weeks I’ve been having weird graphical issues on my pc. It seems to be a mix between the screen becoming distorted and random zoom ins. By distorted I mean windows will warp in and out of place all over the screen. The issue happens sporadically and occurs in every application including system settings, google chrome, steam, and even file explorer. I’ve included 2 videos of the problem to give you an idea of what it looks like:
Browsing Steam:

Browsing Google Chrome:

It’s difficult to record the problem because it’s not consistent at all. But as you can see the screen seems to be having some weird graphical issues going on. It worsens when I move my mouse across the screen. Towards the end of the 1st video you can see the screen zooms in so much the page is unusable.
Here is a list of things I’ve tried:
Switching out the keyboard & mouse
Trying a different display port cable with my monitor
Trying 2 different hdmi cables with a tv
Making sure I have the latest graphics drivers
Making sure windows is updated
Updating the bios
Reinstalling graphics drivers with ddu
Installing an older version of graphics driver with ddu
Using Microsoft basic display adapter
Changing my screen refresh rate
Disabling MPO
Running system file checker (sfc) in command prompt
Running DISM in command prompt
Running memtest86 (8 passes no errors)
Running CrystalDiskInfo (both drives are good)
Running Samsung Magician Scan (No Bad Sectors)
Starting windows in safe mode
Creating another user profile
Scanning the entire system for viruses
Running Microsoft Offline Scan
Completely reinstalling Windows
Reseating the ram
Replacing the GPU
Swapping the VGA cables connected to the GPU
Reseating the GPU
Putting the GPU in the 2nd pcie slot
Reseating the CPU and checking for bent pins
Replacing the power supply
There’s probably more I’ve tried but I just don’t remember everything. At this point I don’t know what to do. I thought it was a software issue until I reinstalled windows and then I had to rule that out. I thought it was certainly the GPU but after replacing it I have no idea what it could be. It seems like the only thing left to do is to just start swapping out parts but I have no idea which part it could be.
Here’s a list of my system specs:
Motherboard: Asus ROG Crosshair 8 Hero (wifi)
CPU: Ryzen 9 5900x
Ram: 32 gb Kingston Fury Renegade DDR4 3600mhz
GPU: 3080 FE / MSI Ventus 3x OC 4080 (I tested each one)
PSU: EVGA 850w Supernova p2
Storage: 500gb Samsung 980 Pro NVMe, 2 tb Samsung 980 pro NVMe
The computer is about 2 years old
Here is a list of other issues I’ve had with my computer for a long time. They may or may not be related I really have no idea:
The computer will sometimes not turn on after being shut down. I then have to flip the switch on the back of the PSU off then on again and the computer will start just fine. This only happens sometimes
Every few hours the monitor will go black for a few seconds and then return to normal
Problems I NEVER have:
Blue screens of death
Random shutdowns
Random freezes
Random Reboots
The computer slowing down
I know this a lot to read but I wanted to be as thorough as possible so I can get some helpful tips!
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
The computer occasionally fails to turn on after being turned off. I then have to flip the switch on the back of the PSU off and then on again, and the computer starts working properly. This only occurs occasionally.
I would try to source a donor PSU and see if the problem continues with a more stable unit.
He referenced that part of your message, his response is beneath that italic text. :/
When I first said that section wasn't present, it was just the quoted words. I might have replied too fast for the system to adjust. Now I seem like someone acting out of nowhere.
