570 GTX lockup with white squares

Card: MSI 570 GTX (N570GTX M2D12D5/OC)
Driver: Nvidia 270.61
Bios updated to latest (KK1)
According to MSI Afterburner I am running the stock settings: 988mV core voltage, 786MHz Core/1572MHz Shader/2100MHz Memory.
I have never overclocked the card beyond the stock OC that the card comes with.
When playing the game Rift after about an hour, sometimes less little white squares show up all over both of my monitors and then within a few seconds the computer locks up.
MSI Kombustor seems to work ok, I haven't run it indefinitely but it makes it through the default benchmark. I tried another stress program called OCCT. I ran that for about 20 minutes with default shader complexity (0) and it produced 1 error and no crashes. I tried it again with shader complexity 4 (out of 8) and every minute or two it would signal an error then after about half an hour I got the same lockup with the white squares. So far I have only seen this lockup occur in Rift and with OCCT. I beat Portal 2 in single player and Coop and played several hours of Shogun 2 with no issues.
This is actually my second 570. My original one started producing artifacts constantly and games were completely unplayable. I RMA'ed it a week or two ago and now this card is presenting a different problem.
Rest of my computer:
Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit)
Intel Core i5 760 at stock (2.80GHz)
8GB DDR3 Ram
750 Watt Silverstone power supply
Any suggestions on what to try next? Is the card bad? I didn't see any references to this exact problem when I tried searching the MSI forums. Though I did run across another forum where someone was having the same problem. I don't think they found a solution though.
Snapped a picture of the frozen screen with white squares:

Good to hear
Maybe Svet can make you a custombios, so you can flash your cards bios, then you dont have to use Afterburner all the time.
Hope he reacts

GTX 570 M2D12D5 Freeze with White Squares...artifacting.

Card: MSI 570 GTX (N570GTX M2D12D5/OC)
Driver: Nvidia 270.61
Randomly when I play games, the screen freezes and a bunch of white squares paint the screen. Oddly it only occurs during games and not anytime else. I ran a stress test with Folding@Home, Attitool, and Furmark each for at least 1hr and I didn't notice any artifacting. However when I play a game, Brink, World of Tanks, etc for like 30mins - 50mins I get a freeze with checkerboard like white squares in a checkerboard pattern. Sadly the only fix is to restart so I can't get a screenshot. I just got and built this rig like 2 weeks ago and it has been running fine until now and I have no Idea what it is. Initially I thought it was overheating but with the tests the gpu is 46 c idle and 87 c max. Is it the card or possibly my ram?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Boot from your install disc and run Disk Utility in case the startup disk needs repairs.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space
If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode You can run Disk Utility from there.

Small white square with a plus sign in it right in the middle of page!

I am ready to print my document, I used a template to create a great document...the only problem is that right in the middle is a tiny white square box with a plus sign in it, and I can't figure out how to make it go away! Please help me!!!

Nevermind. I finally figured it out. I had text boxes overlapping. Ugh. Time to take a break!

I got this weird screen with all of those weird signs a and don't know what that means. Anybody knows? By the way, in the white square written "confirm". Thanks in advance!

Laptop screen has a light white square with an orange dot.

I just installed a new screen to replace a cracked one. When the systems first turns on and powers down a faint 2"x2" white square with a 1/4" orange dot appears. It's most visible with the lights off. This has happened with 2 replacement screens and am now wondering if the problem is within the laptop itself. I've added a screenshot of it with a circle around the orange dot. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hi
Do a hard reset first
Try downloading & Installing the updated BIOS and graphics drivers from your HP product site to rule out software display problems.

Live tracing a jpg gave me a white square with a few vectors

I used the 3D Revolve effect to create a sphere. I then "expanded appearance" to try and "subtract from shape area" a portion of the sphere. It ended badly. So I copied and pasted the sphere into Photoshop, removed the portions I wanted gone and placed it into Illustrator in hopes "live trace" would save my bacon. It didn't. When I select the graphic and choose expand "live trace", it gives me a white square with a few vector points in it. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Go to Live Trace Trace Options so you can change the setup to color then choose 4 or 5 or 6 colors and check ignore white you get this.
You have to change the option to color or convert to grayscale and choose grayscale the default is b&w which is not what you want.

570 GTX Twin Frozr II OC - Stability issues with newest drivers

Hi there,
Been noticing lately that i've come across a nasty 280.26 Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding issue with my 570 SLI.
Some people running the 280.26 drivers have also reported, while others have said increasing voltage has fixed their problem.
Could I get some support in finding out how/what to set my voltages too?
The cards are 570 GTX Twin Frozr II OCs. I did get a bios update earlier in the year after some problems, they were clocked at the wrong speed. (786mh instead of 750mhz)
GPU-Z shows im running bios 70.10.17.00.03
Is there a newer one?
Thanks

You say the voltage range is upto 1.25mv , but how can a game be unstable but not make use of the 1.25mV barrier? Who is responsible for using the extra voltage when required?
People state they are increasing their mV to make some DX 11 games stable, but how?
If what your telling me, is that the cards are already set to use an increased voltage, why aren't they doing so?
As you can see, under load.... the higher mV range isn't used so the overclocks on the cards are pointless. The more games which come out that use DX11, the more problems you will get.
If it's down to drivers, someone needs to get onto nVidia from a corporate or business level because they won't respond to the end user, they just blame you guys for everything.

Read again my replies, seems you misread most of the parts
Quote from: Arthur Hucksake on 02-September-11, 21:09:00
To add to that, I have to set the voltage to 1.00mv in Afterburner and to get Deus Ex HR more stable with the 280.26 drivers.
So what gives? Is it safe to update the bios to 1.00mv somehow?
Why are these problems only getting found out with the 280.26 drivers?
Where does the customer stand here? There's a direct problem with power handling by all parties involved.

MSI 570 GTX - Kernel Mode?

Hi, i'm new on these forums and i made my research on that issue over different forums and i've reed the threads on Nvidia's Forum but i didn't seem to found any solution for it.
Lately, I,ve been building a new rig and my 570 GTX is having some issues when i try to run some games to the max like BF3 and Dirt 3. White Dots, Windows Errors with the Kernel Mode, Black Screens.
Currently my drivers are the 280.26 which are the latest ones and i'm having these issues. I've tried to rollback to 277.35 and i'm having to same problem. I could fill an RMA to get my card switch but i don't wanna loose it for 2 weeks and have it returned to have the same problems... Is it drivers Related or Hardware related?
Help me out on this Guys.

White Squares instead of Application Icons in Switch Applications

My "Switch Applications" (Command-Tab) has started sporadically showing a white square instead of one of the icons for the applications I have open. I can still click through to them, but it is a little disconcerting.
No particular application seems to be involved more than the others - Firefox, Finder, iTunes, and a Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client have all done this at one time or another today.
This may be related with the other problem that arose today: some application sub-windows sometimes appear simply as white window. (I mention this here because it may be relevant, but this problem has a separate thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13094719#13094719)
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thank you.

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Apps show a white square instead of the app picture?

My ipod touch shows some apps as a white square instead of the app picture. The app still works but I don't
know why it is diplaying this way.

Where is your Calculator application located? Before you can put it into the Dock you need to remove the Question Mark. Select it with the mouse and drag it out of the until it "poofs" away. Now locate Calculator and drag its icon into the Dock.

How can i get rid of a big white square on my google page?

i have a big white square with a cloured dot that circles all round on my google page on my ipad and cant get rid of it, what can i do?

Double click the home button then swipe the google app up to close it. If that doesn't work, press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. If that doesn't work try deleting and reinstalling app.

The above was truncated and garbled a bit and I can't figure out how to edit it. So just to repeat the question a bit more clearly: "I'm using Acrobat XI on Windows.

White square for .swf file in dreamweaver site

Hi
Apologies if this is a very basic question.
I have built a dreamweaver site and embedded a .swf file (a
slideshow of photos created in flash) into the page.
When I view the page online, the .swf file takes a few
seconds to load, and while it is loading I get a white square where
the slideshow should be (the dreamweaver and flash documents have a
black background).
Question - how do I either
a) get the white square to be black
b) get a loading bar to show that the flash video is loading
Many thanks

Thanks so much Tom - I now have a black background!
The only problem is that my .swf is taking ages (8-10sec) to
load and now its all the same it looks like nothing is happening!
I have looked at the preloader threads and customised a
preloader, but I can work out from the search results/threads what
to do with it.
How do i link the preloader into my .swf file. Do I need to
know actionscript (I dont!) to do this? (I have Studio 8)
The other gist I picked up from the threads is its better to
avoid the preloader all together. I'm creating a photography
website - hence big .swf - but do you have any hints for optimising
the .swf - the flash publish compression is all I've used so far
Many thanks
