MSI 7870 - Red flickering lines and screen flicker

About two weeks ago I was at a LAN with a couple of friends, where my computer had a couple of random BSOD's (Temperature was in the okay range in spite of the room temperature) - Then a couple of days ago, my screen has started having random red lines flicker across the screen and some odd boxy flickers of either pure white or parts of the rendered screen (like if you had cut out a portion of the screen and threw it around the desktop)
I've tried Furmark at some fairly extreme settings for a good fifteen minutes while observing, as well as performing a RAM test of the card (Though I could only get it to test a Gig for some reason) and nothing.
This odd behaviour isn't exclusive to while I am playing - I've also had it happen some twenty minutes after closing a game and watching something on youtube (It has happened twice while typing this post)
Does anyone have any suggestions for some tests I can throw at it to try and achieve a consistent provocation of it? It's hard to RMA a card that randomly shows problems that I can't seem to catch on tape or screenshot.

If you are so sure what to do and what causes such issues you should be able to help yourself then.
Maybe I should considering the welcome one is receiving - It's not like I'm posting a generic "OMG why doesn't this work", I've given a fairly detailed description of the error as well as tests performed up to this point. But hey if you think the Processor is causing graphical errors, by all means lets run a Burn in test of that.
Edit: Somewhat unsurprisingly it ran ten cycles without any errors, or graphical glitches. Temperatures maxed out at 75c for Cores 1 and 2. 0 and 3 at 69/65

  • IPhone 5 Distorted Video Recording and Screen Flicker

    Love most of the new iPhone 5 features and the speed on LTE service is amazing.  However, my brand new iPhone 5 64GB seems to be having some issues.  Two main issues. 
    One is an occasional screen flicker consisting of 3 to 5 horizontal black or dark colored lines.  This is located at a point approximately 1/3 of the screen up from the bottom and running from the left edge of the screen to approximately the center of the screen.  The flickering lines are brief and occassional, but deffinately a concern.
    The other main issue is with video recording.  I've attended a couple of concerts/shows in the last week.  I used my iPhone 5 to capture a few video clips to share w/ friends etc.  The recorded videos have brief moments of light to moderate, easily visible video distortion.  There's a horizontal distorted digital shaking running the full video width, approximately 1/4-1/3 of the screem and mostly in the center of the video image.  It's not related to playback on the sceen itself, but it is the quality of the video recorded.  I downloaded the videos to my computer and they play with the same video distortion as they do on the phone.  I had previously been impressed with the video qaulity on my 4S.  Perhaps issues with over active "improved video stabilization"?  Aside from those things all else seems to be good minus some occassional delayed touch responses and seemingly delayed photo opening to view from text messaging.
    Hardware?  Software?  Bottome line, are these issues that may be resolved in a future Apple iPhone 5 / iOS 6 update or must I get back in line and try to get a new replacemnt phone?

    This is not an answer, this is just an additional voice to prove and to make it apperant to Apple that they have to do something about all the problems with the iPhone5. I have as TS encounterd the camera/video destortion apart from my bad reception and battery drain problems.
    I bought a 32GB black iPhone5, have already changed it once, because of the battery drain, from 100% to 70% during a night, in stand-by mode(no usage).
    This second one, still doesent live up to my excpectations, batterywise my 3,5 years old iPhone 3GS is at pair with my brand new iPhone5, video distortion when recording.
    I am going to change it today!! third time's a charm... Lets hope so...

  • Strange flickering lines across screen, opening Photobooth makes them go away?

    Hi everyone,
    I've been having a very strange problem with my 2011 Macbook Pro 15" for quite a long time now. It's basically flickering lines across the screen, and the screen 'folds' in on itself, squashing the display vertically and stacking them on top of each other. Sometimes it's terrible, sometimes it's bearable. Sometimes the screen goes completely black. It's super weird. Here's a photo I took my phone, as I screenshotting shows nothing out of the ordinary:
    The really really weird thing is that when I open Photobooth, as in the apple webcam program, the problem completely goes away (until I quit it). I had hoped this was a software issue, so I backed up and formatted my hard drive and then installed a fresh copy of OS X - and the exact same thing happens! I barely made it through the system setup!
    I beg, someone help me!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Display flickers lines and then dies black until device has hot temperature

    Hi Discussion,
    I have a very strange problem since approx 2 weeks. My PBG4 is working fine and it is a very nice device, but until it reaches it's working temperature it is playing around with the display. There are lines (horizorental) flickering around the screen and then it is getting black and normal again. This process repeats every time the device is startet oder woken up from standby. If I try to adjust the brightness of the display with the buttons, this is working, so the lamp seems to be ok. I think the graphics board has some kind of damage. Did anyone else experience such problems? Is there a solution? I do not want to loose my device...
    Thanks Nico

  • Re: Red vertical lines on screen???

    i just had a hinge replaced on first generation 15" unibody(2008) model. get home and i have red vertical blotches on screen. the red blotches are worse when there is black. i don't have applecare so i'm going to a local guy. the screen had stopped working because of hinge. i bought the hinge on ebay and didn't end up needing it BUT now my display is screwed. should i replace inverter cable? where can i buy one? thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You might check ifixit for inverter cables:
    http://www.ifixit.com/search?x=0&y=0&text=inverter+cable#20
    PowerBook Medic is another possible source.
    Not sure just which cable you might need--probably see what went through the broken hinge and what is damaged. I believe there is also a LVDS cable as well as an inverter cable. The LVDS cable carries video data, and the inverter cable controls the backlight and brightness.
    Check also with whoever repaired the hinge. There may be a warranty on the repair which might cover the cable.
    Good luck!

  • Fix for vertical lines and screen freeze on 2008 iMac after Yosemite upgrade?

    Mavericks was running slow with iPhoto.  Did the Yosemite upgrade.  Vertical lines on screen before everything freezes except mouse.  Mouse continues to respond but nothing else, so forced to power off.  Tried a revert to Mavericks but that seemed to tick it off (made things worse).  Read 3 year old threads that graphics drivers may be at fault, but not sure how to remedy that.  Any ideas?

  • Flicker removal on horizontal lines and screen capture text

    Hi All,
    I often have to include a PC screen capture (such as an Excel screen) in a video. How do I minimise the amount of flicker when playing back on a CRT.
    I understand the problem is in the interlacing. I have tried the anti-flicker filter and this just seems to make things softer without much improvement in the flicker.
    I have seen a post which recommends using progressive frames for still images but does not explain how to do this.
    Any assistance gratefully received!
    Regards,
    Duncan Rosie.

    > If you are making NTSC projects, keep within the color gamut (15-235).
    That should be 16-235. And, assuming you are working with RGB files, Premiere and/or Encore will automatically scale the RGB to fit within the 16-235 luminance range. PAL also uses the same legal luminance range. It is not exclusive to NTSC.
    Here is decent trick -- it may not eliminate your flicker, but it will greatly help offset the severe blurring that occurs when applying Anti-flicker or variants of this technique (such as a vertical gaussian blur) to screen captures of GUIs, spreadsheets, etc.
    1.) Open the screen capture bitmap file in Photoshop and scale it to exactly 200% using "Nearest Neighbor" resizing
    2.) Bring that file into Premiere and use Motion to scale it to fit (scale with be 50% of what it was before you resized it)
    3.) Apply Anti-flicker filter as neeeded
    The nearest neightbor resizing method makes for "blocky" resizing that is horrendous with photos, but it ideal for screen captures -- so long as you only scale by 200%, %300, %400, etc.
    This generates "extra pixels" by replicating exisitng ones that will help:
    a.) The appearance of the image when scaled to compensate for aspect ratio
    b.) Maintain better legibility even when strong softening filters (such as Anti-flicker @ 1.0) are applied
    c.) Allow for tighter zoom-ins of your screen shots while maintaining relatively sharp edges

  • NVidia Error and Screen Flicker

    After using my machine for random lengths of time (sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 5 hours or more), invariably my screen will "flicker".  It's usually just the bottom 5th.  this usually occurs after trying to use the mouse scroll wheel to scroll a page in Firefox 2.0.0.4 that hasn't fully loaded -- but not reliable reproducable.  The only thing that's always constant is when the error happens, there is an entry in the "everything" logs that says:
    Jul 16 16:26:34 plunkerbunkey NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0000 0fc0 00f4f4fd 0000e7f0 00000000 00f4f4fd
    Jul 16 16:26:34 plunkerbunkey NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 30, L2 -> L1
    Sometimes the L2 -> L1 will say L1 -> L0 or even L0 -> L0.  Sometimes the "30" in the second line is a 28.  I searched on the error messages and got a few things from nVidia's forums to try:  Setting "Option 'NvAGP' '0'" and such.  Nothing works.  I suspect from all the reading that it's an nVidia and/or Xorg thing in the way they are "communicating" or something.
    Does anyone else have this problem?  Firefox is not always running when this happens, either.  Epiphany will cause the same issue sometimes.
    Here's my system specs:
    HP DV8000 Centrino Duo
    2 GB RAM, Dual 80GB Drives
    nVidia 7400 Go (256MB RAM)
    Latest Community XOrg
    nVidia Driver 100.14.11
    Kernel 2.6.21-ARCH SMP
    Nothing ever shows as hogging memory using "top" or the system monitor.  to fix the issue I just logout and back in (this restart X each time because that's the way I have it set in my settings).  I use Beryl and Emerald and restarting these DOES NOT fix the issue.
    Any clues?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Johnne,
    Thank you for your post.
    Have you  tried a soft reset on your X2-05 by dialling *#7780# and, when asked, the security code 12345. Performing a soft reset will not delete any of your data, however it will restore all your device settings to the factory default.
    Also, you might want to check for and install (or reinstall) the latest software version using Nokia Suite. If you still cannot get your screen and browser to operate normally have your X2-05 check at a local Nokia Care point.
    Hope this helps, let us know how you get on,

  • 2010 Macbook pro freezes a lot, but mouse still moves. It unfreezes if you wait. It also hard crashes... Also, weird lines and screen flashes.

    I have a 2010 Macbook pro running snow leopard (Mac OS 10.6.8).  First off, this has been the worst computer I've ever owned or have heard of someone having, Mac or PC.  There hasn't been a time where something hasn't been wrong.  I'm going to list my specs, my current problems and maybe list previous problems after that.  Any advice or suggestions would be great.  My brother works for apple out in Cali and I've been sending him crash and bug reports and he can't seem to figure out what's going on.
    Specs:
    2010 Macbook Pro (Mac OSX 10.6.8)
    Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics Cards: Intel HD Graphics (288 VRAM) and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (512 VRAM)
    (if you want more info, just ask)
    To start things off, my computer hard crashes at random points playing basically any game.  StarCraft 2 (when I could play the game prior to Blizzard patching my OS out of the minimum requirements), League of Legends, MineCraft and others all crash while in use.  My computer screen suddenly flashes white and then to black and whatever audio may have been playing in the past second of gameplay is thrown into a constant loop.  The screen is solid black with no mouse and there is no keyboard functionality.  The only thing I can do is hold down the power button.  I first started noticing this problem back when StarCraft 2 Heart of the Swarm came out.  I would crash every 4 or 5 games in this way.  Since that was happening I resorted to playing other games such as League of Legends.  I wasn't having any trouble at all, but gradually it started to have the hard crashing issues.  Initially every handful of games, now it crashes in roughly 50% of the games I play.  This happens while I have NO other applications open and this has happened even after a complete restart with only 2 things opening at startup.  League started crashing in this way after I brought my computer in to have a fan replaced. 
    Another thing which has started happening since I had my fan replaced at the apple store: My computer has become very sluggish at times and my computer freezes in another way.  Many times a day, I will find I click on something in an application and the entire computer locks up.  There's no spinning beachball.  There's no movement of any sort on the screen and there is no button functionality, but I can move the mouse.  Clicking does nothing.  This sort of freeze lasts for about 30 seconds up to 5 or 6 minutes or so.  After that, it suddenly just decides to work again.  I can tell when it unfreezes because the clock in the corner jumps to the correct time.  This has happened frequently while using Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari.  It also happened while trying to use Skype.  It was freezing the most when facebook or youtube has been open, but it happens without that happening as well.  One of the first times I noticed it, earlier this year, I was searching for work and tried to go to this website: http://www.nhab.org/ (looking for a job).  It froze my computer as I described above (and I didn't know it would unfreeze after several minutes, so I thought my computer was completely frozen). I restarted, went to the same website and it froze again.  I did this a third time and it froze again, so I restarted again.  On the fourth try, it loaded.  The frequency of this problem is ridiculous.  I actually decided to delete Google Chrome from my computer (and its support files) since my computer would freeze the most often with Chrome (though I used Chrome mostly for youtube and watching tv shows online).  Almost instantly after deleting Chrome, my computer was running significantly faster.  things loaded quicker in other browsers and aplications loaded smoother.  My text no longer lagged when typing in facebook...  It hasn't solved the freezing, though the freezing tends to last less time now.
    Another thing that happens, which I am not sure is normal: When my computer is booting, after the grey screen, it changes to light blue.  During this light blue time, often times white horizontal centimeter to inch wide bars will flash across the screen near the top.  This also happens on shutting down.  I also noticed that when it shuts down the screen doesn't just shut off.  The screen flickers quick for up to a second and then it is off.  It doesn't just turn off.
    My computer has also occassionally flashed for a brief fraction of a second, to the blue start up color and back to whatever I am doing.
    Those are all issues I am having right now and I am beginning to wonder if this several thousand dollar computer is capable of doing much more than just writing text..
    Prior issues I have had:
    Right from the start, I have had major graphical issues which I showed to the people at the apple store and they reinstalled flash, but they really didn't know what was going on.  These glitches would tiles previous graphical things I had done in an artistic mozaic across my desktop, replacing my background image with broken mozaics.  It's hard to explain without showing, so here are 2 screenshots from it:
    The people at the store thought it was just flash... but I don't understand how that could be flash.  I would have to flip through different desktop backgrounds I used to make it go away.  After it doing this for 2 years, it has only happened once since then and not very badly..
    Another issue I had: The battery on my laptop just about exploded... I woke up one morning with my laptop sitting on my night stand as usual, but there was a small crack across part of my trackpad.  I was scared because I thought I must have done something... I went to the bathroom, took a shower and when I came back the crack was farther across the trackpad.  I had breakfast, came upstairs and my trackpad had 1 crack across the whole thing with multiple mini cracks going in every direction from it.  After telling my brother what was going on, he quickly said that it was the battery and to take it to a store.  I took it to the store and showed them what was happening and they very quickly took it out back and I quote "threw the battery in a firesafe immediately" because when they opened the laptop it started to quickly expand.  This ended up cracking my trackpad as well as bending the bottom of the body on the laptop.  All had to be replaced...
    Then I had the fan sounding like a weedwacker, so I had it replaced a couple months ago and a couple months ago is when the freezing began, the computer started running slowly and all games crash the computer.
    I have had a lot of things go wrong, not a lot of things go right and I'm really frustrated.  Can anyone tell me how to get my computer to stop freezing or how to make it stop hard crashing during any of the games I play?
    Basically, what I have done so far is reset the PRAM I think?  I held command + option + P + R on start up and had it chime 3 or 4 times.  Other than that, I don't know what to do.... suggestions?

    I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation.  My computer did have the faulty part you linked to.  I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager.  Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge.  They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test.  They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
    Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above.  I've never had this experience before.  Even brand new, I got occasional crashes.  Hopefully this new trend continues.
    I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow.  Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed.  Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
    Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.

  • Starting random apps and screen flicker when scrolling

    My Touch 2G suddenly started to launch random apps without me touching the screen. Besides starting random apps the screen flickers when scrolling. Any body have experienced the same? It started about 1 month ago and I have always taken good care of it. I have tried every possible thing I can think of when it comes to software. Full restore, jailbreak, full restore, back to factory, back to earlier versions of IOS, but no luck. It is pretty persistent. I am sure it is hardware related and don't mind paying to have it fixed. I tried two repairshops already and they  were not able to recover the reason for the malfunction.  I wonder whether there is anybody who has experienced the same or even knows what is wrong?

  • Unusual red vertical lines on screen

    My screen is showing vertical redlines but only on certian parts of the screen as can be seen in this screenshot
    https://public.me.com/ix/daniel_pierce/screenshot1.png
    Is this a hardware issue or something that can be fixed in software?
    My computer is an 24" white Intel iMac(late 2006) bought March 2007.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks Dan

    So here's my followup on this issue:
    After some research, I decided that it was worth the effort to bring it to an Apple Genius at an Apple store last Thursday. The Genius spent a few minutes looking at and felt that it was one of three things: the display, the graphics board or the cable between the display and the graphics board. The cable cost $13, the board $180 and the display was $500. Needless to say, I was hoping it was the cable. I left the iMac with them so they could work on it.
    The following Saturday, I got a call from the same Apple Genius that I had talked to and he said it wasn't the cable. He mentioned that the other parts were on order and that it would be a few more days before they could fix the computer.
    Yesterday, i got the call that it was fixed and ready for me to pick up. As it turned out, it was the board. So the with the cost of the board plus the flat $49 repair fee, it cost me $230 to have it repaired. Since this was the only time I had ever had an issue over the last 4 years, I felt it was a fair price to pay for keeping it working.
    Funny aside: I mentioned to the Apple Genius that while they had the iMac open, could they look at the optical slot drive. It was no longer accepting discs. When I got the iMac back, taped to the front was a transflash-to-sd-flash card adapter. Obviously, either my 3 year old or 5 year old tried to load it thru the slot drive. "Fixing" the drive was covered under the flat $49 fee.
