Recent CPU upgrade leading to visual issues
Recent CPU upgrade leading to visual issues
I updated my CPU from AMD Ryzen 5 3600x to 5600x, turned it on and it seemed stuck in a boot loop before starting. Once it came alive, the BIOS adjusted my RAM speed downwards, so I had to revert it. After installing the new CPU, I started seeing visual issues, though my GPU (GTX 1070 Ti) is working fine.
Check for RAM problems. Restarted the CMOS to refresh the BIOS settings. Then set your RAM to the appropriate XMP/DOCP profile.
Thank you for the update. I removed the CMOS battery and reinserted it, but I don’t have any screenshots. When you move the mouse quickly enough, it appears jagged and stuttery. What do you mean about applying your RAM XMP/DOCP profile afterward?
XMP or DOCP allows RAM to operate at its specified rates, not the standard JEDEC speeds. For example, with 3200MT/s RAM it will default to 2133 or 2400MT/s. You can perform a memory test such as Memtest86 to check for errors.
Instead of taking a picture with a camera, try using the Windows Snipping Tool. Or press the print screen button on your keyboard, then paste it into Paint. This way you get a full screen image of the screen without camera artifacts. Is this a TV? Does it have some form of game mode? The primary effect looks like screen tearing to me. Do you have V-Sync or Adaptive Sync enabled in game? Double image could potentially be caused by an HDMI/DP cable that isn't shielded properly or damaged somehow. ~edit: maybe check if the monitor cable is properly seated on both ends, as a first step. I assume you moved your computer around while swapping CPUs and you may have accidentally dislodged the cable as a result.
