Hey everyone, I noticed my PC has dead pixels. Could it be related to the GPU being faulty? After cleaning Windows, installing drivers, and updating everything, the issue persists. The monitor works perfectly on the Nintendo Switch but not on my PC. It seems like a possible cable problem. My specs are an i5-10400F CPU at 2.90GHz, 8GB RAM (originally 16GB, I had to replace it due to blue screens and dead pixels appearing before BSOD started). I’m using a GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER. Any thoughts on why the dead pixels still exist?
The image doesn’t show any issues. The dead pixels are genuine monitor defects—they’re actual parts of the display that aren’t functioning. Screenshots capture what the computer sends to the monitor, so they won’t reveal these problems. If there were dead pixels, a screenshot wouldn’t reflect them, just like static in audio would be missed if you sent an MP3 file instead.
Consider changing the display cable to the monitor. Test another display to eliminate the monitor's role. If your TV supports HDMI, you can use it as a screen if you lack a backup computer monitor. When the artifacts persist with a new cable and on another screen, the problem likely lies with the graphics card.
As mentioned, you didn’t encounter dead pixels. Instead, you experienced something called artifacting. These are spots that appear as solid white or black areas, typically just a few at a time—not hundreds like in your monitor. It doesn’t matter anymore; you’re safe from the issue! Good
