i recommend to bring someone to help you
or to go to PC computer shop to update the vbios for you and or to check the your video card after
of course you can RMA it if you prefer, but solution be simple a vbios update

XG270HU freesync monitor flicker and graphical artifacts at 100,120, and 144Hz

Hello, just picked up this monitor from Newegg and a bit bummed. looks like I might have a defective monitor, anytime I switch to the higher refresh rates (100,120, 144Hz) I get audiable pops and a horizonal line checkboard artifacts on the screen at random times. I bought this monitor for Freesync gaming so this is a must for me to get working. At 60Hz I do not get any issues only 100hz or higher. I tried testing with and without crossfire and and freesync enabled and still the same issue. Here are my system specs:I7-3820Intel DX79SR motherboard3 x 290x powercolor 290x Radeons (water cooled version) AMD Drivers tested:15.4.1 beta15.4 beta14.12 Omega official

I am having a similar issue after buying the Acer XG270HU for the FreeSync support. I am seeing random flickering every few seconds if the monitor runs at anything higher than 60hz (freesync on, crossfire disabled). I created a short video showing what is happening, if you click at 1:15 seconds you can see the flicker twice, just keep looping the video. Its not always in the same part of the screen and its really random but consistent. It does not happen when I set the display to 60hz, it starts happening (even on the desktop) if the display is set to 120hz or 144hz or freesync is dynamically changing it over 60hz. The first part of the video I zoom into show you that freesync is enabled noting the Hz changing dynamically. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfRVFiH6Cw4 HardwareAcer XG270HUAMD R9 290X (Catalyst 15.5 Beta)Using Display Port 1.2 cable that came with the Acer Is this something I need to send this monitor in for service/replacement?

Dark flickering desktop and anything on the laptop lid.

The lid on my 2007 MacBook Pro is loose and it doesn't stay bright. It moves slightly on its own and flickers gray when it does and the only way I can fix it is to manually adjust the lid until it brightens up again. Very frustrating! Any help out there?

This is usually a sign that:
1. Someone did not follow instructions putting it back together.
2. You have overworked the hinge by not paying attention to the built-in resistance when you push it back.
3. You bumped or dropped the machine in such a way the hinge got loose.
4. The graphics chip or cabling may be damaged from a surge or a bad power supply/brick.
Regardless, this requires an on sight diagnosis, unless you want to attach an external display to see if it is reproducible on the external display.

Mac Pro bootup issues: started with graphical artifacts, and now nothing.

My computer specs:
- Purchased August 2008
- 2x 2.8GHz Quad-Core Xeon
- 2 Apple 1GB RAM sticks
- 2 Kingston 4GB RAM sticks
- NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT 512MB
-== The Saga of Trouble, Episode 1: Into the Very Heart of Trouble ==-
Started World of WarCraft. Trying to get rare Green Proto-Drake mount. Suddenly, approx. 3 minutes after starting the game, the display goes haywire: artifacts, flickering, you name it.
Tried:
- Power-cycling display: image returned, still messed up.
- Command-Q: nothing, no response.
- Yelling at computer: nothing, no response.
- Holding in power button to shut down: system shut down.
- Rebooting: no REFit bootup (I have REFit installed), and the gray Apple logo has graphical artifacts. Eventually I'm brought to a screen that looks like something out of an NES where the cartridge hasn't been cleaned.
- Rebooting with a different monitor: same result.
-== The Saga of Trouble, Chapter 2: Love is the Key, But Only When Contextually Relevant ==-
Cursing several times, and promising the Mac Pro swift physical retribution should it refuse to work, as, in my hubris, I haven't made a Time Machine backup in a while, I unhooked all cables from the tower, set it on an appropriate work surface, and opened it.
Tried:
- Dusting the interior with compressed air: dusted without incident.
- Checking to ensure graphics card was well-seated: it was.
- Checking to ensure RAM sticks were well-seated: they were.
- Complimenting self on proper usage of past tense: false sense of satisfaction given my Mac Pro's trouble.
-== The Saga of Trouble, Third Strike: Startup on Low Forward Reduced by Two Frames ==-
Reconnected everything and attempted to boot. A fan that normally whirs on startup (I assume from the graphics card, but I didn't visually confirm in the past) is not whirring. The characteristic "Apple noise" is heard, but nothing on screen.
Tried:
- The other DVI port on the graphics card: no dice.
- Another monitor: nothing.
- Another monitor on the other DVI port on the graphics card: no luck.
-== The Saga of Trouble, Future Shock: Escaping the Saga of Trouble ==-
With two upcoming trips, all part of chasing my dreams to become an awesomely famous screenwriter and game designer, instead of just an aspiring wannabe, I cannot afford to do what I think will solve the problem, and that's purchasing a new graphics card.
Given my foolishness in not making regular Time Machine backups, reinstalling the OS is going to be a last resort. As in I'm not trying that until I've exhausted all other options (which, as taught in college and in the four years of my life I wasted as an IT guy for an ISP, is not what you should try first anyway). I'll exorcise the HDD and plug it into something else before I reinstall the OS.
Given the above two points: what's my next step? Is there something I can try before either purchasing a new graphics card or reinstalling the OS?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.

Apple firmware (or flashed card).
The ATI line of Apple cards use universal EFI (EBC) so even the new 5770/5870s work as well.
Check the test results coming out on
http://www.barefeats.com comparing cards.
I realize the hard restart may be 'necessary' but booting from DVD or running the single user mode command FSCK -fy can minimize directory repair problem if you don't have OS X on another drive.
Installing OS X is fast and easy if you can shrink 30GB off another drive that you would then be able to boot from and has just mini OS and utilities.
Cache files often are the first to become corrupt as well, or prefs, anything that was in memory and that are changed frequently and after a startup. Cache files are automatically rebuilt and no fear if you can delete those.
AppleJack and Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner can 'enhance' what diskutil fsck you can do and add some more commands.
8800GTs are harder to find, still on ebay at times.

Graphical artifacts with DX11 (and OGL4) on imac 27" late 2012 GTX 675 MX

Hello, dear community! I have the imac 27" late 2012 with graphical card GTX 675 MX.
In Mac OS X 10.8.5 all works perfect. Software, games (Bioshock Infinity), benchmarks (heaven 4.0). But in windows...
I was installed Windows 8, then 7, then 8 again, and every time after installing nvidia drivers (with BootCamp, or manually downloaded from nvidia site) i have some graphical artifacts ("||" randomly on the screen). On win 7 it was only in games (like Bioshock Infinity or Tomb Raider), on win 8.1 everywhere(on desktop and in games). In DX9 games (like World Of Tanks) all perfect, in DX10/11 games (BI or TR) - artifacts. After thousend of tests i run Heaven Unigine 4.0 with OpenGL(other settings the same) in macos and in windows(on 7 and on 8), for checking some hardware issue if it exists. But on mac os x, as i already said, all is perfect, but on windows - randomly appers artifacts.
I record a video to illustrate my problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwEog66vfFk&feature=youtu.be
Help me please! People in service told me that this is not a guarantee issue

I assume you have GPU-Z and other tools to look at gpu. the imac falls between notebooks and desktops when it comes to graphics. and it may be some programs just are not written for that graphic device? possibly?
I've been on Windows 8.1 mostly along with 8.0 and graphic drivers have been "bumpy road" at times and I was able to swap out and use different graphic cards on my PC - had me thinking I had an SSD related issue, then replaced memory (those were bad it turned out, and could have caused drivers and system errors).
Windows has memtest on the DVD and I have seen one or three people with real problems that did not show up until they did more tests, even though Mac OS was blindly oblivious to anything being wrong (it was, they upgraded RAM and SO-DIMM was not fully seated in one case, in another the RAM module had to be replaced).
Extended Tests using Apple Hardware Test is not conclusve and almost never ever when comes to finding gpu or memory 'errors.' There you are better with Windows test utility.

Graphic Artifacts and display freezing/blacking

My 15inch MBP, purchased in July of 06, seems to be giving me major problems.
I'm getting really odd graphics artifacts all the time. It can be as simple as a multicolor line in a window, on the desktop or through an icon. Othertimes its as major as an icon or section of a graphic showing up like its been scrambled and combined with really bright colors. Sometimes it looks like a triangle of a few pixels that have been stretched out.
All of the issues are related to software, as I can make them go away by changing window size—and they only exist in the window or application. The heat coorelates to how severe the artifacts can get, if I'm about 60˚C I'll notice them more, so as a photographer I keep my fan running when I'm doing important work to avoid the crashes.
And finally, the computer will crash with little explanation. Not like things timing out and I look mouse function, but things like the entire screen slowly being tinted green, or everything but the mouse seizes up(when this happens, my caps lock button still works, I can move the mouse just fine, but I can't click anything;commands don't work either.) The crashing can happen when I'm working in Photoshop(comp intensive) or if I only have Mail.app open and I happen to click on the finder icon too fast(very simple tasks).
I have the funds to get this repaired, although I'm confident they will simply replace the logic board and that will not solve my issue—only temporarily put it off another few months.
I'm waiting for the 10.5.2 update, hoping that will fix something. I have all other updates.
Any suggestions?

One thing to try would be to borrow an external display and see if the same artifacts occur on the external display. If so, you might have a graphics chip problem, either with the chip itself or with its attachment to the logic board. If the problem gets worse with heat, it may be that the ball grid array that holds the chip to the logic board is beginning to fail. It sounds like your software requires intense processor usage, which will generate more heat. As the heat builds, the failing ball grid array will work less well and you will get these visual artifacts and freezing and other symptoms.
You might try one of the laptop coolers with fans to keep your Mac as cool as possible and see if this helps. The other thing to try is to reinstall the OS and see if that helps. If reinstalling the OS does not help, very likely you are dealing with some sort of hardware issue, and very likely they would want to replace the logic board.
Have you tried running the Apple Hardware Test to see if it happens to show anything?
Good luck!

How do I use Automator to duplicate a folder with graphics on my desktop and erase their Resource forks?

How do I use Automator to duplicate a folder with graphics on my desktop and erase their Resource forks?
I do not use command line and tried to use ZapResourceForksAMAub_1.2 which I downloadedand instaled the Zap Resource Forks.action. Next I tried to use their sample copy-zap-rsrc.workflow in Snow Leopardon my Mac Pro. The 3 different steps are displayed in Automator but there is no place to put in which folder (on my deskto) to copy, and remove the resource forks from the graphic files.
Can sombody please step me through this please please.

Unfortunately, Back to My Mac only works across computers using the same iCloud account.

Using Win 7 64bit on desktop and laptop. OK on laptop; desktop does not load graphics in broswer with/without exts/addons. Any ideas?

Browser loads text on page but not full graphics - some - sometimes; sometimes none. I use same search engine on both desktop and laptop. I've tried disabling add-ons and extensions but it makes no difference. As I didn't know which version of Shockwave Flash to install I've installed both!!!

Thanks for this. I could not select Shockwave Flash 9.0.45.0 - but downloaded the uninstaller from Adobe which removed the newer Flash 11 version. I reopened Firefox in Safe Mode and yes, Flash 9 was still there. I ran the uninstaller again - after closing Firefox. It said that Flash was removed however when I reopened Firefox in Safe Mode - Flash 9 was still there - disabled - but there. Nothing appears in the Control Panel/Programs list. So how do I uninstall this older version?
Graphics problem continues in Safe Mode.
After reading: Flash 9.0 r28 and below: Your Windows list of installed programs may have an entry for "Adobe Flash Player ActiveX" but this will only remove the Flash Player for Internet Explorer and AOL. To completely remove Flash from your system, download the Flash uninstaller from Adobe.com. To remove Flash from Mozilla browsers only, delete these Flash plugin files from all locations. [17]
I searched for but did not find:
NPSWF32.dll

This sort of stuff is out of my comfort zone!

Graphic and Rendering artifacts

I am attempting to overclock a Neo2-LS with
a P4 2.4b at 160 FSB.
At 150FSB running at 2701mhz the system is stable as a rock.
But at 160FSB I have been noticing some graphic artifacts
while rendering mpeg2 (DVD). In Pinnacle Studio I start to
see little green dots in the preview screen and then on the
mpeg file I see these artifacts as well.
The system does not crash and I do have sound but I have noticed my sons game does not behave at this overclock either.
I have my Core voltage at 1.7v memory at 2.65v and AGP at
1.6.
Running AGP/PCI bus at 67/33
Temps do not go over 55C on any chips.
Anyone have any ideas if there is a way to get the graphics/rendering to stabilize at this overclock level?

AGP Voltage manipulation is a must for overclocked systems, where the AGP bus and/or video card is overclocked. I run my R9800 Pro at 441/371 with no artifacting. But ONLY if I raised the AGP voltage. I run my AGP Voltage at 1.8V

Screen sharing in Yosemite - lots of weird graphical artifacts

I have Yosemite installed on both my MBP 2013 Retina and a brand-new Mac Mini (headless). I control the Mini from the MBP with standard built-in screen sharing. It works, but visually it's really bad! Often the remote menu bar goes black, and only repaints (in sections) if I hover the mouse over it. Often the toolbars of various windows take on the color of the desktop and do not display any of their widgets - again until I hover over them. Dragging windows sometimes leaves permanent "trails" and other graphical residue.
The Mini is pretty much running on default settings (although I did set it up by cloning the backup of my previous Mini). In particular, I've not activated any Accessibility options, nor am I using the "dark menu bar" general option.
Is anyone else seeing this? Or can someone suggest some troubleshooting?

Yesterday, for the first time since before starting this thread, I restarted the Mac Mini. Suddenly, everything seems fine.
The reason I restarted the Mini was that I noticed (using Activity Monitor) that 6.5GB of my RAM was in use, and SystemUIServer itself was using 2GB. I've haven't been using the Mini for much of anything recently, so this made no sense. Restarting immediately brought back my menu bar (which had been black), and I don't see any artifacts using Screen Sharing.
*shrug* we'll see. If you have this problem and haven't restarted the remote machine, try that.

Flickering Desktop Background Yosemite

Hello!
I have a 15" MacBook Pro early 2011, recently upgraded OS X to Yosemite 10.10.1,
Specs: Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core i7; Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3; Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB.
I was working with Word and suddenly the keyboard stopped responding. Since then the desktop background has been flickering on and off and applications are working erratically. I´ve tried to fix it by restarting the computer, resetting PRAM, using Terminal to killall Finder, changing the Dashboard setting to Off in System Preferences, and none of these have worked.
I believe it is a problem with the user, since I am able to use my computer if I log in as a guest user.
Is this a bug? How can I fix this?
Tips and suggestions are very welcome and appreciated!
Thanks!

Thank you Eric!
The system did not operate normally in Safe Mode either but I managed to run EtreCheck when I rebooted normally.

RAM: 2X2GB Mushkin Silverline DDR3 PC3-10666 @ 1.5V (stock)
Video: Intel HD Graphics 3000 (IGP) connected via DVI
HDD: WD WD4000AAKS 400GB SATA3
DVD: Sony Optiarc AD-7240S 24X
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-430CX 430W
Other: 1 120mm fan and 1 140mm fan
OS: Windows XP SP3 32bit
New system build, no OC attempt at all
Problem:
System can lock up at random time, even during startup or in BIOS screen. It accompanied by screen with artifact. (will show pic)
Testing done:
Clearing CMOS thru Clear CMOS button, as well as taking out the CMOS batteries out for a minute
Check voltage in BIOS and they looked fine
Changing BIOS setting from (Integrated Graphic Adapter) PEG to IGD
Reseating the CPU, even though the CPU never hit above 37 degree at BIOS screen
Tested individual RAM module in each slot
Ran Memory-Z and passed the test; Didn't tried Memtest86+ because I doubt the system will last the entire run
Tried replacing the PSU with an Antec Basiq 430W
Unplugging everything and leaving only the CPU, CPU fan, 1 module of RAM, and HDD
Observation:
When system locked up with the artifact on screen, the mouse is dimly lighted and flickered when it's clicked.
All 4 CPU Phase LEDs lit up, but the three on the right are dimmer than the one on the left and it appears that they are flickering.
Screen with artifact with vertical and horizontal line
CPU Phase LEDs where one is bright while the other 3 are dim
Is the mobo the problem? I doubt this system will use more than 300W peak without a discrete GPU and no OCing. Appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.

Quote from: Henry on 06-October-11, 10:12:40
Re-seat the CPU and check the CPU socket for bent/damaged pins.
That Corsair PSU should be more than good enough for your rig.
I re-seated the CPU and checked the socket, no bent/damaged pins.
Quote from: NovJoe on 06-October-11, 11:18:30
If resitting the CPU and checking the CPU socket still returns same results, I suggest you test your processor in another board and see if the same artifacts came up.
Wish I have a spare board to rule one or the other out, but I don't have one. Is there any other test I can do? Can putting a discrete card in the system rule out anything?

Want to add Video and Graphic Card to my computer system

I Notice that one of the users' in the Apple discussion Board is Listed, (AndyO) he has help me many times in the Past and was succesful in my problrm solution, would he might be able to help me with this?
I had Purchased the Game Spore Creature Creator the Starter Kit which is just the Creature creator game and not the actual game itself. I wasn't able to install the the game on my computer because I don't have the right or not at all Video and Graphic Card install on my computer. I had Contacted the Company "EA" that puts out the Game Spore, this is what they said what the game requirements are: The minimum system requirements for Spore and Spore the Galactic Edition for Mac are as follows:
* Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher
* Intel Core Duo Processor
* 1024 MB RAM
* At least 345 MB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for created creatures. (260 MB for the Trial Edition)
* Video Card - ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems (PowerMac).
For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least: an Intel Integrated Chipset GMA X3100 or Dual 2.0GHz CPUs, or 1.7GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent
Supported Video Cards
ATI Radeon(TM) series
* X1600, X1900, HD 2400, HD 2600
NVIDIA GeForce series
* 7300, 7600, 8600, 8800
Intel(R) Extreme Graphics
* GMA X3100
and that I need to upgrade my system. Basically I need; ATI Radeon 1600 or NVIDIA Geforce 7300 and a INTEL Extreme Graphic Video Card-GMA X3100, in order to be able to install and play this game. Since I already have this game, I would like to be able to upgrade my computer system which brings me to ask; does somone know or refer me to a web site that has and sells these Video and Graphic Card and supports for the Mini Mac?
Plus they say that I need a 1020 of MB of Ram, I Have already found that 1024 MB of Ram but I just need those Video and Graphic Cards for my computer system. I am adding my computer system Profile to my discussion board to show you what I have on my system, would you be able to tell me if I would be able to add these Video and Graphic card and the memory or Ram 1024 to my computer system?
Note: Here is a web site that I am looking at to add the 1024 MB of Ram to my computer system:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=24188 41&CatId=2453
what do you think?

Can someone Please help me with any suggestions or otherwisde I will have to go to a Apple store and ask for help there.
Thank You,

<Edited by Moderator>

Hi Trisha,
The only modern Mac's with video cards are the Mac Pro and Xserve (server) systems. They both are priced quite a bit higher than any Mac Mini.
Some systems, like the Mac Book Pro laptop can be ordered with different graphics cards, but that has be done when the system is built, as it is not replaceable once the system is built. To find out which systems, go to store.apple.com. For each system that you select, you can see if there's an option for a better video card.

Flickering finder and safari, and sound not working?

Firstly the screen froze whilst the radio was still playing. I could move the mouse cursor but not click on anything.
So, I did a safe reboot and the desktop reset.
Everything now responds to the mouse but Finder is flickering when scrolling and Safari is really flickering - in hte window and address bar.
The sound is also not working.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

Hi Leroydouglas
Just been playing with the desktops and found a bunch of open Finder windows along with a window asking me if I wanted to erase the Trash files.
Seems like they were hiding behind an app window on one of the desktops (found it by accident as I was scrolling through the desktops using the swipe gesture on my Trackpad).
I've assigned the Finder to a desktop (desktop 1) and it seems to be OK at the moment (opens new windows and Trash icon works).
I've tried opening Finder by clicking on the Dock icon in all the desktops and it opens without any problems (you can see it scroll to Desktop 1). The folders on the desktop I couldn't before now open OK (again in Desktop 1).
Looks like the quick fix to the problem is to assign Finder to its own Desktop. I'll be keeping an eye on it :-)

Radeon HD 7730 graphical artifacts (open source driver)

Hi,
I'm not very familiar with AMD video cards, so I hope there's someone with more knowledge on this topic, who can help me with this issue.
With no xorg configuration I get this artifacts after X starts (same in KDM):
With custom 20-radeon.conf (provided down below) I'm able to get rid of the artifacts but OpenGL compositing in KDE doesn't work:
Same issue in wayland:

Rexilion,
I switched to this config, but it still looks the same as glamor with no accel:
#Section "Module"
# Load "dri2"
# Load "glamoregl"
#EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon HD 7730/8730"
Driver "radeon"
# default value:
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" # glamor or EXA
Option "SWcursor" "off" # off
Option "NoAccel" "off" # off
# Option "ZaphodHeads" "DVI-0" # "LVDS,VGA-0"
Option "ColorTiling" "on" # on
Option "ColorTiling2D" "on" # on
Option "EnablePageFlip" "on" # on
# Option "AccelDFS" "off" # wiki fix for artifacts upon logging in (desn't work)
# EXA specific:
Option "EXAVSync" "on" # off
Option "EXAPixmaps" "on" # on with > 32MB VRAM
Option "SwapbuffersWait" "on" # on
EndSection
1: glamor with Option "NoAccel" "off" - artifacts
2: glamor with Option "NoAccel" "on" - no artifacts
3: EXA with Option "NoAccel" "on/off" - no artifacts
But with 2 and 3 OpenGL compositing in KDE doesn't work (resets itself to XRender), and graphics in supertuxkart looks like this.
