Komatose Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 So I have been having a lot of problems recently with my graphics on my computer in general. The problem happens only after I have installed the latest version of the nVidia graphics drivers. I have a GeForce GT 220 driver version 285.62, Windows 7 Pro, and it should not be having these problems. What happens is best described as random pixelation. The screen randomly has pixels missing and sometimes it distorts images beyond recognition. It almost looks like someone damaged the screen but I know for a fact that that isn't what happened because it only occurs on high graphics usage, like max detail rs or 720p youtube videos. Any ideas for help? My computer is spotless on the inside I clean in constantly. Click for my blog to Untrimmed Slayer Cape!! It's quite a journey!

Sbrideau Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 If I were you I would probably rollback the driver until the new one comes out. The newest driver isn't always the greatest. If the issue persist, please let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Yeah newer drivers do, in general, improve CURRENT issues and expand features BUT they can make some issues worse and create new ones.

Komatose Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 I rolled them back continuously and the problem persisted no matter how far back in versions I went, so any other ideas?

Lord Diddy Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 it only occurs on high graphics usage, like max detail rs or 720p youtube videos. Any ideas for help? My computer is spotless on the inside I clean in constantly. Possible overheating issue? is there a good, working fan cooling off the GPU? Check temperatures of it under a stress test.

I've found now it isn't even the case, it happens just on normal browsing like the text gets warped and images become skewed. It almost looks like there is two layers of graphics combined lol it looks like the white noise screen on a tv combined with the normal images. The page looks normal but there are large flashing spots of pixels that are whited out completely. Click for my blog to Untrimmed Slayer Cape!! It's quite a journey!

Askthedude Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 You say your case is spotless on the inside, have you knocked the GPU in any way? Check it's completly plugged in. Otherwise it looks like it's failing, return it if it's still under warranty. Why can't the Big Bang be done by the hand of God?It could have, but it is next to impossible because it also could have been caused by the flying spaghetti monster, or one of the other infinite number of deity possibilities.

Sy_Accursed Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yeah certainly sounds like 1 of 4 issues: 1) GPU is slightly unseated2) GPU is dying3) Cable between tower and monitor is dying/broken4) Monitor is dying Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatose Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Well I do not know what exactly fixed it but I took out the card and cleaned it and reattched it and that fixed the problem. My guess is in travel it was loose somehow because I had to transport it to and from uni. Thanks for the help! Click for my blog to Untrimmed Slayer Cape!! It's quite a journey!
