System freezes and performance issues occur.
System freezes and performance issues occur.
Hey! Your computer suddenly stopped working and started showing these odd tube-like visuals. You shared a video from your phone, which was a bit shaky but still clear enough to notice the stuttering and horizontal lines. In the event viewer, under Application, I found two issues labeled Event 86—possibly linked to your Ryzen processor—but it seems the GPU might be the real culprit. There was also an error with SCEP Certificate enrollment for WORKGROUP\PCNAME, and openVPN didn’t work properly due to configuration mistakes. The crash happened a few weeks after you upgraded to the 6700XT, though I’m not sure if it was the new GPU or something else. As a freelance developer, I’m trying to figure this out and would really appreciate any advice or help from the community.
At first glance it seems like a defective card. You might switch the cable to the monitor and use a Linux live USB to check for issues, confirming whether it's a hardware fault. You could run DDU and reinstall the graphics drivers, though this may not resolve the problem. The CPU wouldn't be the cause unless it was using integrated graphics, which would need to be faulty. If the card is still under warranty, replacing it would be the best option if the issue persists after these steps.
It seems the GPU might be the issue. Just a short while after publishing, one of my screens stopped receiving input from it. I’ve verified everything else, and the monitor looks normal. Guess I’ll send it in then. Thanks for your help! If anyone else reads this, any additional details would be greatly appreciated.
