Hello! I'm dealing with a tricky issue where both monitors behave differently depending on the screen content. The left monitor shows horizontal artifacts and the area below it doesn't refresh properly, especially when dark areas are present. It works fine in light mode or on other platforms like Discord or GeForce Experience. Removing one monitor fixes the problem, but switching ports or cables doesn't help. The issue persists even after updating drivers and sometimes resolves itself after a restart. I'm unsure if it's my screen or GPU causing the problem. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I attempted it again, restarted the computer, but encountered a BSOD (PFN List Corrupt) during shutdown, which resolved afterward. The issue persists. According to WhoCrashed, this could indicate a RAM problem, so I plan to re-seat the RAM next.

It's unclear what caused the issue, but changing the RAM appears to have resolved it.

I initially believed it was a single RAM module problem. The following day the problem reappeared, prompting me to check if only one stick was involved. Using one worked and the other didn’t, leading me to suspect a faulty stick. I decided to return the defective one due to the warranty. The next day again, the issue surfaced with the working stick, leaving me confused about what was happening. Perhaps testing the monitor via HDMI could help resolve the issue.

Have you ever resolved the issue? I’m experiencing the same problem you mentioned, just with horizontal lines.
