Usability issue occurs during screen sharing?
Usability issue occurs during screen sharing?
So, I recently purchased a new 4080 Super GPU and installed it. I also acquired a fresh LG UltraGear 27GR93U-B monitor. Now, I’m able to work with 3D content and play games at 4K resolution smoothly at 144Hz. However, whenever I share my screen through any application—such as Google Meet, Teams, Discord, etc.—my USB devices start flickering and restarting every few seconds.
How can I resolve this issue?
I’ve tried updating all my drivers (GPU, USB, motherboard, audio, etc.).
I disconnected all USB devices one by one to see if a single device was causing the problem.
I ran AIDA64’s stress test under full load—no issues detected. It also reported that the GPU consumes around 500W at full load, which matches the power supply I have (a 1000W 80+ platinum unit).
I also tried disconnecting the new monitor using a three-display configuration, but it didn’t help.
Here’s my rig setup:
- Motherboard: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Wi-FI
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with a fixed 4200MHz profile (instead of the built-in 3.7–4.8 GHz range)
- GPU: Gigabyte Gaming OC 16G 4080 SUPER
- RAM: 2x 32GB G-Skill RipjawsV F4-4000C18-32GVK DDR4 18-22-22-42 4GHz (underclocked to 3.8 GHz due to issues)
- Power Supply: BeQuiet! Dark Power Pro 11 1000W, 80+ platinum
- Case: BeQuiet! Dark Base Pro 900, Rev 1
- CPU Fan: BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro (uncertain version, likely the latest at purchase time)
- Audio: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Gen2 with 2x Yamaha HS7 Speakers
The GPU is installed in the first PCIe X16 slot, while the others are free.
I don’t have a direct PSU-to-GPU 12-pin connector, so I’m using the 3x8-pin to 1x12-pin adapter included with the GPU.
During screen sharing, when using AIDA64 for monitoring, there were no spikes in temperature or voltage readings. The GPU’s power draw increased from about 20W to around 80W, and its TDP dropped from 6% to 26%, which is within normal ranges.
I’ve tried various solutions and checked online resources. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your response. I didn't take a crucial step that resolved my problem—updating my bios. I assumed the issue stemmed from the new GPU, but it might have been just a trigger. I was using an outdated BIOS version. After downloading the latest one and updating, the problem disappeared!
