Fixing Graphics Card Glitches

41 Comments

1. Started having this problem the past week – I power cycled the entire computer (unplugged everything, held the power twice for 30+ seconds) and that seemed to do the trick.
   Pretty sure it was the GPU, I'd recently removed a 2nd graphics card on this system with the system off but all the cables including the power cable still plugged.

   Yeah, always unplug everything and even hold the power with everything unplugged at-least a few seconds to power cycle before working on the hardware.
   Use the free tool GPU-Z to check all the different temps on your card including VRAM that's notorious for running hotter than the GPU and not always showing in apps like Speccy.
   Keep it dust-free, and older cards might benefit from applying fresh thermal pads, paste, puddy paste for those experienced with disassembling cards.

2. I had random lines on youtube and such turns out that I needed yo update my drivers thanks!

3. I got this colored dots on my new asus rog zephyrus g15 browsing web or anything… they sent it to me back that everything is ok but its still not

4. I still don't know what do you call those black squares that shows in your monitor, anything for that at all? or any remedies?

5. i think what your dealing with is a game/hardware accelerator graphic processing unit glitch gremlin.
   glitch gremlin: hahahhhaha good day to you everyone good day sir and madams as you know I'm the glitch gremlin.. And, I've got glitches in me britches for you, Nerd and folks! I've got- (starts speaking gibberish and nonsense)
   Me: we are gonna lay a whoop ass on you! You think we can't still use these computers and play?
   Glitch Gremlin: Wouldn't you say it's a Goddamn work of art? All the earth tones, the browns, the greens, it's just like Mother Nature. I like to bring it into the room.
   avgn: It's ugly, like your mom!

6. I just assembled a new pc with 13400f and rx6700xt and after using it for 2 months suddenly I noticed this thing known as "shimmering" and "flickering" it is exactly like the one you showed in the video but its in every single game and now that I'm seeing them i can not unsee them , no matter how good the game looks my mind is focusing on only the fault.
   Then after searching for hours i came across your video about the same problem but the solution didn't work at all , its killing me and now every new game I'm trying I'm searching for that problem and its there in every single game . I tried my old gtx1050ti , i tried a different monitor , i tried vsr or dsr but the problem still persist .😢😢😢

7. What about blue blobs fading in and out. On a new card 3060

8. Another symptom of if your GPU is dying is your PC failing to initialise it and often switching to CPU graphics. On top of that you might get the general hardware failure error if you check the status of the GPU in the Windows inbuilt hardware manager application.

10. I was reassembling after a cleaning session i broke it

26. 2:53 im getting this in one game called mortal online 2 and another problem is hovering on any button and then info coming right next to your mouse, firstly its coming as Blank white Square then normal thing is coming. For example, im using opera gx and there are some buttons at left side of the Application such as : History, Addons, Options etc. When i move my mouse any of them i dont see " Addons" First i get Blank white Square first then i see Addons word. I feel so annoyed, sometimes even in Opera gx i get quick weird images like in 2:50 but its uber fast like 0.2 0.3 sec something.Most of the game i get like super fast weird screen flashes like blink of an eye. Worrying about my card tbh 🙁 i have 1060 6gb and its 67 68c heat max. I checked some programs like furmark, there is a Program called gpu shark. It says GPU VOLTAGE LIMIT REACHED. Can anyone enlighten me whats going on please?

27. What if artifacts/glithes are very circumstantial?

    I don't play PC games. I make 3D animation for a hobby on my laptop. However, after I spend a certain period of time on Facebook, my screen begins to "shatter" and glitch out. As soon as I leave the site, everything goes back to normal. As a result, I've had to limit my usage of facebook to only being on my phone.

    This problem ONLY occurs when I'm on facebook. It has never popped up on anything else I do on my laptop.

37. I was have big problem with my 3060ti horizontal green bars no display freez, it only 1.2years old, did driver update not working then i took gpu and replaced termalpaste old one already dry out, must have been dry spot was not overheat on 40c 70c under big load elden ring high an maximum settings 200hour bake a cake on cooler, now its perfect fine!

38. Hi, i hope someone can help me here, i have a RTX 3060 and a samsung cf390, i'm seeing Shimmering everywhere, desktop text and games, but i tryed everything already, reinstalling via DDU, MAX AA at nvidia panel, higher resolutions, downscaling, reconnecting everything, clean install of windows, drivers downgrade, checked every setting in nvidia panel and the games itself, and the effect still there, also, when i record a video of my problem you can actually see it in video, so i don't think it's my monitor, the 3060 it's new., but it looks like any form of AA works.

    DSR factor help a little on games, but still perry much there.

    I know my monitor isn't the best, that's why i also list it at the beggining, it's kinda cheap and old, a 1080p 60hrz, (cheked refresh rate too and sharperings and no)

    im affraid that even buying a new monitor the problem will be there.

39. Windows removed the driver for some reason

40. Super sample and such are useless. Even powerhouse pcs will see input lag.

41. I can't thank you enough
