    Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

    After all of this, I went and got yet another monitor, thinking that it might actually be a weird 3 part issue. 1. Drivers causing black screen 2. Monitor ALSO causing black screen and speckles due to failure (or pending failure). The new monitor shows no signs of pixelation or black screens...

    Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

    I just removed my new SSD, put in one from work, formatted it and clean installed Win10. After the clean install, I simply loaded the 16.7.3 Crimson drivers. The black screen issue is still there. This time it was happening to me in file explorer.

    Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

    Here's a video of the speckles, just so folks can see what I see. https://youtu.be/UJJUPkSPt3k If I do a screen cap of that area, no speckles. I assume that the screen cap (print screen or snip tool) is using the same data that's coming directly out of the video card frame buffer right? Would...

    Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

    I'll grab a DVI cable from work today. The weird thing is that I bought a brand new 4k panel and used display port to hook it up. It also had the same issues. (I did try HDMI there too) I returned the new monitor, since it seemed to suffer the same issue and kind of ruled out monitor/cable at...

    Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

    Gotcha. At least 5 guys at the store were also stumped by this. Makes me feel a bit better that I haven't totally lost my PC chops and that this issue is indeed super weird. haha I'm not unwilling to do a reset, but it's really tough to find the time to focus on it with a four year old running...

    Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

    The edit was after the comment. Sorry I should have put it at the bottom. The RX480 was completely removed. The speckled type look went away but the dips to black screen remained. I went to the shop and after some diagnosis found that my SSD was failing. We imaged over to a new one, which...

    Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

    Heya, EDIT: Whoa the black screen is present on the onboard video too! So, the pixelation is gone, but the black screen persists. Now that's really confusing me! @Piroko It's a brand new build in a new case, but the issue followed from the last build. It seems quite unlikely that I'd have a...

    Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

    Update: It started going to black screen again. Replaced the PSU and it's STILL there. Took the whole box, monitor and cables to the store. It was reproduced there and then they changed the PSU. It seemed to be fixed, but then I brought it home and there come my little speckles. Have yet to have...

    Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

    Heya, I tried GPU, Monitor, Cable, Ram. I ended up at the local shop, which doesn't happen to me too often! They said the mobo was dying and I ended up getting a new mobo, cpu, ram and case. I haven't seen the black screen issue since booting up the new components, though the speckles are still...

    Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

    Hi Bacon1, Thanks for the input. When I changed cards, the entire driver suite needed to be uninstalled and replaced, since the older card ran on the previous generation of drivers. That leads me to think it's not the driver. If it's a corrupted OS, is there anything I can do without a clean...

    Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

    Hey there, I thought I had a failing video card, but I've now replaced my 6970 with an RX480 and still have the same issue. In dark areas on my screen, I sometimes get little pixel speckles and when I'm watching videos (YouTube) or playing games I'll sometimes get a black screen for a couple of...

    Catalyst Driver problem from 8.4 on

    I looked at the DDC-CI and it was already set to "On". I guess I will turn it off next time I install the 8.5's. I tried the different DVI ports with the same effect each time. My X1900XTX is PCI-E.

    Catalyst Driver problem from 8.4 on

    Do you find the 7.11 perform better? I've heard that sometimes the older driver versions are better suited to the older cards, but didn't know if there was any stock in that thinking.

    Catalyst Driver problem from 8.4 on

    I did mess around with those settings, but couldn't affect any change to the display. Perhaps I missed something... I'll give it another shot later today. Thanks for the input so far. Hopefully we can get this licked :)

    Catalyst Driver problem from 8.4 on

    Heya, A few weeks ago, I upgraded from Catalyst 8.3 to 8.4 for my X1900XTX on Vista Home Premium 32 bit. When the driver installed, there was a black bar about 1" wide, sort of like letterboxing, but all the way around my monitor (24" LCD @ 1920X1200). I thought perhaps it was a...

    Vista Driver Problem

    Yeah, they are the latest available drivers. At one point they were working fine, but stopped about a month ago. Each time I reboot, Windows tries to "install the drivers for my new hardware" and sees the device correctly as far as brand and model, but always fails with the "cannot create...

    Vista Driver Problem

    Hi there, I have a Logitech Mx518 mouse and have been trying to install the drivers. I get most of the way through and then Vista (32) tells me that it can't write the file because it already exists. I have done everything I can think of to remove the drivers and allow a clean install, to...

    Upgrade

    Thanks for the replies. kalrith - I did format and reinstall Vista using the clean install from an upgrade disc trick. :) JustaGeek -The X1900XTX is a pretty fast card. How much of a difference would an 8800 make? I don't have any need for DX10 as I mostly play WoW. I just have the...

    Yes it's an HP system. Yes, the ram came with the system. In which way would my P/S be holding me back? Thanks for the replies! -Craig

    Upgrade

    Hi there, I am hoping for a little insight into where my next upgrade dollars should go. Currently my system is based on an HP motherboard (Asus) so I know that should be replaced with something "real". Suggestions for a new motherboard would be great, along with some advice on which of my...

    Replacement for "generic" mobo

    Hehe, yeah that sounds about right. Either that or a dying hairdryer. Well, I did some 3DMark06 Benchmarks and got a score of 5611. That put me 12/50 with similar systems on the online results browser. That seems to be a decent score. Now it makes me wonder if there is something within...

    Replacement for "generic" mobo

    At first I thought it was the fan too, but the noise comes from the GPU area. I have put my ear right up to the card during the "noisy" period. I've never heard anything like it, and I've heard a lot of fans. The fan is a very different and noticable sound when it ramps up. I'm gonna try and...

    Replacement for "generic" mobo

    arrgh! I have reformatted a clean install. The only programs on my system are PC Cillin Internet Security and WoW. Got the 410/430 drivers from Nvidia and the 7.5 catalyst drivers for the x1900XTX. I am getting 28-35fps in Shattrah. What the heck else could be wrong? I do notice a "noise"...

    Replacement for "generic" mobo

    I just used the "Clean Install from an upgrade disc" trick and the whole system seems to have sped up substantially. I am in the process of reinstalling WoW now, so I will post some results when everything is running again. I did go into the crippled bios and remove the fan controls...

    Replacement for "generic" mobo

    That's the same feeling I've been having too Noema. I run the game at max quality, with the exeption of the terrain distance being a couple of notches below half. 1280x1024 4xAA and no AF. Last night in Kara I was getting 20-30 fps. It's really frustrating. I looked at the motherboard...

    Replacement for "generic" mobo

    Thanks for the responses :) Mainly I play WoW and want to get the most out of my hardware. I seem to get 25-30 FPS in big cites and a lot of things I've read point towards my system being capable of better performance. I am going to be upgrading to a 24 inch monitor soon and want to be...

    World of Warcraft at 1920x1200.

    Hi there, I can't seem to get big fights to stay over 40fps with my rig. I have adjusted all of the various settings, but it seems to always be the same. I get really good rates most of the time, but places like Shattrah, AV, Kara etc. I am in the high 20's to mid 30's. AMD X2 4200...

    Replacement for "generic" mobo

    Hi All, I have an Asus mobo that came with my HP. It's the 1st off the shelf system I have ever bought and I've already replaced most of the components. lol Won't go that route again. My question is: If I replace the mobo with a mainstream enthusiast board, am I likely to see a...

    Vista Upgrade Hangs

    Hi there, I have the upgrade version of Vista Home Premium that HP provided me, since I bought a computer within the last 6 months. I followed all of the instructions for preparing and then installing the upgrade, but as soon as press the "next" button when entering my product key, the system...

    Vista Upgrade

    Hmm, ok. I have called them in the past. Perhaps what I'll do is give them a shout when I recieve the copy in the mail and ask them what to do. Maybe they will let me use it with a new MB.

    Vista Upgrade

    Hi there, I bought an HP a while back that comes witha free "upgrade" to Vista. I've hated the crippled HP motherboard since I got it and want to replace it. I have heard that the OS is linked to the motherboard though. Since I have a Vista upgrade on its way, can I go get a new MB and clean...

    Radeon dying or something else at play

    HI there, I searched for other posts relative to my issue, but couldn't find anything sounding the same, so I hope someone can give me an idea of what's going on. I have an AIW X800 XL that was operating fine for about 10 months. Then it began "crashing" to a black screen playing WoW. The...

    Silly Manufacturer...

    It does have integrated graphics, but I have an ATI X1900GT installed. I also want to mess about with overclocking etc. and no options for that kind of tweaking are in the bios. :( I did upgrade to the latest HP version, but that didn't seem to open any new options to me. Thanks!

    Silly Manufacturer...

    Hi there, I recentlly got an HP Pavillion A1626N from *cough* Futureshop, since the deal was worth it for me. I have run into an annoying problem though. The BIOS seems to be "sanitized for my protection (read annoyance)". The boot screen shows Video and System Bios Cacheable settings of...

    Upgrade question

    Hi there, I want to upgrade my system, but can't afford a new box, so I thought I might go for the ASRock board that will support my AGP x800 and my 2gb of DDR400 but allow me to get away from my old Barton 2500+ cpu. I am wondering how much of an fps improvement I could expect to see in a...

    Memory speed changes depending on slots filled?

    Hi there, I recently added a 1Gb stick of Ram to my existing 2x512 sticks and immediately began getting sync issues with my Firewire audio interface. I thought that perhaps I had an issue with the system being brought out of dual channel mode with the addition of the new 1Gb stick. So, I...

    Will this combo work?

    The ASRock seems like a perfect fit thanks! That will give me the option of a PCI-E card in a few months when I can afford it, but let me upgrade my lagging Barton 2500+ in the meantime. Thanks for all the input folks!

    help, computer won't turn on, no beeps or anything at all

    I agree with Ricemarine, I had the same problem with my system and I cleared the CMOS. It started up immediately.
