RX300 HM & artifacts on screen, unstable system

My display has many short aqua and red lines that appear all over the screen. When I'm at the desktop & right click and refresh, they disappear for a few seconds, usually until I move my mouse. This is a problem that occurred right after I built my system, but then disappeared and I thought the problem was solved. It's back after several months.
My system has also become unstable. I get the blue screen of death with the message "The problem seems to be caused by the following file ati2dvag." Sometimes the screen goes black for a few seconds then the following message comes up: "VPU Recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands."
I have added no new hardware. I thought the problem may have occurred after I installed McAfee Personal Firewall but uninstalling that seems to make no difference.
So far I have taken the graphics card out and put it back in. I have not uninstalled any drivers nor have I tried to find updated drivers. It's a mystery to me why this problem would suddenly reappear after many weeks of no problems.

I upgraded my power supply. I bought an Enermax EG651P, 550W with 34 amps on the 12v rail. It didn't solve my problem. After installing it, my monitor still had the random light blue lines all over it and it crashed repeatedly. Sometimes, the monitor would simply go to black for a few seconds then come back. I'd get the error message "VPU Recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands" and I'd go on trying to work. Sometimes my monitor didn't come back, in which case I pressed reset and brought it back up that way.
In frustration, I uninstalled the Radeon display adapters and removed all ATI programs my machine. I still get a few of those random lines but my system has not crashed since I uninstalled all the software. I'm running on the generic VGA driver that comes with Windows. It's not great, just barely good but at least it's usable.
I have downloaded the latest drivers from the MSI site and from the ATI. When I talked to tech support at MSI, the help desk gave me the location of the drivers so I'm certain I have the latest.
At this point, I'm not sure what to do next. At this point, I'm wondering whether I should try a different VGA card, perhaps one that uses Nvidia drivers. Any other suggestions?

GTX 660Ti Pe 2GD5/OC driver fail and recover, artifacts on screen

Hello everyone,
Some days ago my pc started suddenly to show artifacts on screen, and a fail and recover message of the video driver showed in the taskbar.
This happened since I bought FC3 Blood Dragon (the game is very unstable, crashes),obviously I don't know if this is related.
This happened also during web navigation and the windows pc score test.
I have updated the nvidia driver to latest version, but it's still the same.
I have W8 64bit and MSI Z77 MPower, the VGA isn't oc.

[UPDATE]
Guys please help me,
this morning at the boot , the horizontal white lines appeared again (with the two stick of memory that yesterday I believed were good).
These lines, i don't know how,caused windows 8 crashing at startup, then I heared a bip form the inside of the pc, windows failed to recovery and then appeared a message that was necessary to restore from a previous checkpoint ! But the mouse was not working so I rebooted from the onboard button in the motherboard.
Now the mouse works, the system seems ok, but really i don't understand this situation.
Is possible that the bad ram sticks are more than one ?
that BIP: that may have been a bip to signify that the Graphics card had CRASHED.... (maybe your Graphics card may be the main Fault here and its got bad VRAM)
your RAM: totally possible that more then one is BAD which is why i said "test each pair or better yet test each Stick individually if possible!" that way you can find out if one or more are bad...

The blue screen message that I get a lot of time at windows closure is "PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA"
page fault is a HDD error and may be as a resort of the crash and some bad DATA has been wrote to your HDD or SSD! could also be a RAM Error Sending bad DATA to your hard drive thats not clean....

Hi
What BSOD code you get exactly?
Which OS you are using?
Maybe its a driver problem. Have you checked the device manager for yellow exclamation marks?
Can you boot in safe mode?

Screen Saver System Preferences layout issue on Yosemite

Hi,
After a clean install (first formatted and installed from a clean bootable USB-stick (so a really clean install)), the Screen Saver System Preferences shows a glitch after activating the Photos App (I think). I checked every step in the process and the glitch showed up after activating the Photos App.
When navigating to System Preferences and then to Desktop & Screen Saver, first it shows two columns of screen saver types (as it should be), but when the photos from the Photos App are loaded (in the background in the Desktop screen), the preview window with the selected screen saver stretches half a centimeter to the left, pushing one of the two columns away.
I have already tried reinstalling Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.3, deleting caches, removing screen saver config files (tip from Linc Davis), etc. The console does not show useful information (for me).
In my case the issue shows up on my iMac (27-inch, Late 2012) and MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014). Only on the MacBook the two columns merge to one. One the iMac I only see a small stretch, but it does not cause the two columns to merge.
Please reply if the same issue occurs and if there is a known solution.
Regards.

Hi Cameron I'm not going to be much help because I too have exactly the same problem with my machine - I have tried re-installing Leopard and that makes not one scrap of difference - I have cleared out all the rubbish on the machine - no difference - sent umpteen "reports" to Apple expecting some sort of response - after all the OS is the best thing since sliced bread so they can't have many reports to deal with - perhaps its us causing the problem.

No Aperture photos show up in Desktop & Screen Saver System Prefernences

For some time I have experienced an issue wherein no photos from my Aperature library appear in my Desktop & Screen Saver System Preferences on the Desktop tab. "Aperture" appears in the left-hand column list of photo sources, but clicking it produces no results on the right-hand side where the thumbnails are normally shown. Curiously, if I choose the Screen Saver tab on the same preference pane, the photos all show up and are accessible.
As another bit of background, I do sync a number of photos from Aperature to my iOS devices using iTunes and never have an issue. The full listing of albums/folders appears in iTunes properly every time.
I have tried the all of the iLife Sharing options within Aperature and they do not seem to have any effect on this issue. I've been sticking with Share on Exit, since my iOS devices have no problems with this setting.
Also, if I choose a photo from within Aperature to set as my desktop photo it does work, but again, when I open the System Preferences neither the thumbnail for the background being used nor any other photos show up.
Any advice on things I can try?

Have you tried switching libraries, then quitting Aperture, and checking Desktop & Screen Saver again? I'd be interested to see if your particular issue manifests in a different library.

2012 macbook pro retina display artifacts on screen when using onboard video

2012 Macbook Pro Retina Display artifacts on screen when using onboard video.
About a month ago I've noticed these strange artifacts (blocky pixelated looking) running vertically down the screen. It first started when using Safari. Then it started to happen all the time. I turned off the auto switch video in preferences, which I'm assuming forces the computer to use the separate video card and the artifacts go away.
On top of that issue I also have had the ghosting issue.
Anyone else have this problem?

artifacts onscreen could mean a faulty gpu. You said by forcing it on inbuilt gpu you do not find this issue highlights that. Do take it in to apple for service and also tell them of your ghosting issue.
There are a few retina owners who have faulty gpus.

Photoshop CS6 selection, shape, and text is causing colored artifacts on screen

The Photoshop CS6 (13.0.4) selection, text, and shape tool causes colored artifacts on screen. I'm running on a retina Macbook Pro updated to the latest ML release. I have disabled GPU acceleration. I have also tried starting Photoshop with no plugins but this does not help.
I have created a video which shows the phenomena
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG5ayC3WmKA

SOLVED. After two days of intense debugging I've identified the issue as an interaction between the ICC color profile, integrated GPU, and Photoshop. The ICC profile was created with an i1Display Pro using the i1Profiler software. The issue occurs when you create the color profile using the LUT setting. Creating a profile using the matrix setting seems to be ok. In summary, these are the specific conditions that cause the issue (for me):
1) Using a color profile created with the LUT setting with i1Profiler and i1Display Pro
2) Using the integrated GPU (discrete GPU is disabled in Photoshop Performance setting)
3) Running on Photoshop 13.0.4 (13.0+ all have the issue) on a 15" Macbook Pro with Retina display
Creating a new profile with the matrix setting OR enabling the discrete Nvidia GPU will also make the artifacts go away. The integrated GPU using the LUT based color profile does not seem to have any artifacts in any other photography and video editing software that I've tried so Photoshop is playing a role. The nature of the artifacts also change from Photoshop version 13.0 to 13.0.4. For example, in Photoshop 13.0 the Marquee Tool has no issues while 13.0.1+ has artifacts.

Pixel Artifacts on screen

I am having an issue with what I think are Pixel Artifacts on screen when I roll the mouse around on the screen. Its also evident when I click on certain things on screen as well. This all started after installing Leopard earlier this week for the second time. I first put Leopard on my computer back in August 2008 and didn't have this problem then. I read something about resetting the PRAM. Should I do that to fix this issue? It's annoying because if I am dragging the mouse across the screen its almost like the pointer "arrow" will grab on to words or whatever and it will be a trail of the same word across the screen or sometimes its just a small box or square.

You can search around the forum for "pixel artefact". There can be many different reasons. Here's [a thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8631126&#8631126] with some suggestions, including how to zap the PRAM. For the user in that post, the diagnosis was that the logic board needed to be replaced.
Hope it helps.

How can i find screen group system field?

Hi all,
How can i find screen group system field?
Thanks,
Nidhi Kothiyal

Hi,
Do you mean by the screen-group which we give for the fields to be active or inactive in module pool?
You can find it in the attributes window which comes by double clicking on the field. In that give the group name in the 1st box in GROUPS.
Thanks,
Sri.

Premiere shows artifacts in screen-captured footage

Hi,
I get artifacts in my screen-captured footage (camstudio, lossless codec) that doesnt seem to appear on other peoples systems. tried different framerate-settings in camstudio, but always get premiere displaying it faulty.
Premiere also tells me that there are several empty frames in my footage, although AfterEffects and the win media player preview it without problems.
Export from AE gives the same results though..
I record at 1024x768 with 30fps and also use these settings for my project. i also set square pixels, progressive-scan, 30fps-timecode, videoforwindows and no compression (same prob w lossless codec)
im definitely a newbie so don't hesitate to point out the most obvious mistakes one could possibly make :) thanks for your time!

Well, in general this seems to work.
one more question though: I foolishly captured some footage at 200fps which I will hardly be able to shoot again. now when i let VDub revamp it to 30fps it just seems to play my 200fps footage at a 30fps rate,which is of course too slow. is that what the video>framerate option in VDub actually does, just stretch the footage?
I figured, i'd just take the original 200fps footage to AP and let it export to a 30fps clip. seems to work if i use the indeo compression.
recapitulating (for who ever cares):
- original capture: 1024x768 at up to 200fps...
- taking it to VirtualDub for recompression to huffyuv, to get rid of artifacts
- exporting from AP at 30fps with Indeo codec
awesome so far. any tips on improvement? thanks for now anyway!

Strange rectangular artifacts on screen

I just upgraded from OS 10.4.10 to 10.5.6. I'm getting strange black rectangular artifacts that go away when the screen redraws. They look like invisible strike areas for Flash buttons. These black rectangles are very distracting and annoying. Has anyone else encountered this? I have screen captures I can send to anyone if my description is not clear.
Thank you.
LG Smith

Hi LG Smith;
Check in System Preference > Universal Access and see if you have VoiceOver turned on. This can do it. Sometime an Upgrade can change system preference for you.

Artifacts on screen. GOP/ UEFI VBIOS request GTX 770 Lightning.

Hi
So some background first. I bought a refurb certified MSI lightning 770. But had troubles with it right off the bat. Artifacts would pop up on screen even while PC was booting. And then while on desktop, the display driver would suddenly crash. Really didn't know what to do. So I went to tech-power up to see if Flashing a bios would help
It sorta did. But now like whenever there's a sudden vibration on my desk the driver crashes again (happened just now too while i was typing. Seems like it doesn't even need vibrations :|) Not sure what the problem is. But to pinpoint that I want to have the absolute correct BIOS (Both original and LN2).
Here's my serial number: 602-V283-11SB131011531
Here's the vBIOS the card shipped with (had to change extension to attach)

Hi
That's what I assumed too. However the first system I tried was on a friend's. It had the exact same issues as mine. his system is and MSI z97 gaming 3 with core i5 4590 and corsair 600W bronze PSU.
I then tried it on mine, and I'm facing the same issues.
From what I've seen so far, when my casing is lying flat on the ground, the card seems to work. But whenever the casing is upright, I face issues (windows boots in 8 color mode even).
Is there something wrong with the card's pci connector then? I have other cards as well (another MSI 770 OC and gigabyte 280x) and they don't have any such issues.

[GeForce 6] Garbled screen on system startup...!!! NX6600GT (AGP)

Hi,
My system is about 11 months old. Everything ran smoothly until 1 week ago. No idea what happenend then. I started seeing artifacts while playing 3d games. Later artifacts started to appear while playing movies in more than 100% of their original size. Two days ago my screen started to look weired even when booting....?
I press the power button. I see the initial black screen (hardware detection, mem check, bios etc). Strange random and colorful ascii-characters start to appear. Sometimes it becomes so crowded...it looks like a *&E$*^fractal! Once the system boots to OS (WinXP) the screen refreshes and everything looks to be fine. Stange huh? When i play 3d games it's atrifacts all over again. Movie playback seems to be working fine.
First I thought the cause to be a defective MOBO. But when I put my old VGA back in ... al troubles are gone!
What can I do? I tried upgrading the drivers. I checked al connections. I checked system temperatures and power-levels. Nothing!
Anayone seen this before? Please help! Thanks.
Regards, Mark
