Random display
Hello everyone! I'm working on a fresh setup where the GPU was altered twice to try and resolve the issue. Before reaching out to the warranty team, I need more background information. The PC would display random scrambling after each shutdown. After a normal restart, it would boot with the same problem, but only after shutting down physically and then restarting normally. I fixed it by turning off "Fast Startup" in the power settings. Now it works fine when shut down. Recently, I left the machine on for 5-10 minutes while I was away, it entered sleep mode, and when I returned it still showed the same scrambled screen. My main concerns are: is this typical behavior for this build? Should I worry? Is it a software problem from Microsoft or a hardware issue? Should I just disable Fast Startup and move forward? Additionally, what should I do with the sleep mode and scrambled display situation? I suspect it might be linked to the Fast Startup setting, but since it's off, should I adjust any other configurations? This build is: https://cz.pcpartpicker.com/list/cGrsHG. It uses a 34" Dell S3422DWG monitor. Appreciate your advice!
I turned off the quick startup right after SSDs were introduced. The reduction in boot time is almost insignificant compared to the inconvenience of hybrid hibernation. It's not unusual for it to fail, though I'm aware many problems can be fixed by a full shutdown and restart. Honestly, just disable it and move forward—you won't regret it. There must be something affecting the sleep mode. I’d run Memtest86 on the RAM and use Crystal Disk Info to verify the health of the boot drive. You can also inspect your peripherals in Device Manager to see which devices have "Allow Windows to shut down this device to save power" turned on. I think one component, possibly the GPU, should not have that setting enabled by default. If you can't figure out why sleep disrupts the screen, disabling it might help. You could set a monitor-off timeout as a safer alternative to the computer’s sleep function. This isn’t typical, but it does fall within possible scenarios. If you can’t identify the cause, an upcoming Windows update may resolve it. A fresh installation should work like a brand-new vehicle. But even new cars have problems—good luck!
Hello, thank you for your feedback. Your memtest86 results show no memory or SSD issues, and the "allow this device to shutdown" option isn’t visible in the Device Manager tabs. You might want to check the infotainment system settings directly for that feature. In short, it’s not a hardware concern but rather a software update path—likely addressed in a future release.
Hey, thanks for your response. So, the thing is, 2 of my other much older PCs have 0 issues with the DP cable, and I've been using them extensively for quite some time. I also connect some work laptops via HDMI, and it works great. Nevertheless, I could try a new cable. The monitor however, has only 1 port for DP.
I really dislike cars that turned into infotainment units recently. Back then, I just fixed my stick shifter with bolts and a few welds. Now it's impossible to ground a welder without damaging the onboard computer. Fun fact: my Ford Escape needs an upgrade to get any updates, which would cost about four grand if it's even available. That's why I rely on old maps, lack Wi-Fi inside, and the Sirius receiver isn't working anymore. Lol
