Strange graphical glitch on 55TL515

I'm getting a strange graphical glitch occasionally on my 55TL515.  When the glitch appears, it will reoccur every 20 seconds or so.  I've discovered one way to make this disappear temporarily, but I'd like a permanent fix.  Let me describe my living room setup for a second...
I currently have the TV connected by itself to one outlet.  The second socket is currently empty.
In another outlet, I have a filled power bar plugged in.  The power bar contains my stereo, xbox, pc, macbook, external hdd, and router.  
When the glitch appears, if I unplug this power bar and reconnect it, the glitch disappears.  I don't understand why this is.  They aren't even in the same outlet (they used to be, until i started messing around with this problem).  I've tested different HDMI cords, all of the HDMI inputs, and have seen this glitch when using both my pc and my xbox on this tv.
Can anyone provide a possible solution to this?  I don't want to keep everything unplugged as I use them all frequently.  Could it be the power bar?  Is it actually a problem with the tv?  Please take a look at this youtube video and see what you think.  Thanks.

I get the same issue...typically this happens if I connect my laptop through a VGA cable.  I've tried everything from changing my video card settings(resolution, refresh rate, etc...) but I get the same exact graphical glitch.  Any luck on figuring this out?
Also, do you ever get thin lines that roll/move up the screen?  I would get those occasionally and it had something to do with the digital switching inside the laptop power supply(the laptop power supply was on the same outlet) and was causing this problem so moving it to another power outlet or circuit breaker helped, but I still get the graphical glitch you have.

  • Strange graphical glitch in Select Columns

    I've noticed a strange graphical glitch in the Select Columns region of an interactive report when using IE7 or 8.
    When a column is selected (other than the first or last) and sent to the Bottom or Top the change doesn't actually show until the mouse is moved over the Display in Report List. If the Apply button is clicked, then the column ordering is set correctly.
    I'm using Apex 3.1 and was wondering if anyone else has noticed.
    Thanks,

    alright.. once again a nvidia isssue... the nv driver does paint it correctly

  • Shattered glass strange graphical glitch

    I've been having this strange thing happen every once in a while on my imac. Sometimes when randomly when you move the mouse the screen changes to look like multicolored slivers. the only way I can describe it is as multicolored "shattered glass". As you move the mouse it changes colors and such. The only work around I've discovered so far is to open dashboard several times and it disappears. Any help is appreciated.

  • Strange Graphical Glitches For Both Arch and Archbang

    So here is the issue. In 3 diffrent arch installs and my new archbang install, I have been plagued by a strange glitch that seems to persist. This glitch has a few diffrent varitations, the most prevalent being the screen wrapping from an uncentered end to the other side. Here are some pictures to clarify.
    Arch

    Archbang
    =======
    http://imgur.com/kGqG1Y7
    The other variations of the error are as follows:
    ==============================
    -A flickering screen after grub bootup, highly distorted.
    -A black screen after grub bootup and intitial system processes.
    -The same error, but with the rift closer to the middle of the screen.
    -A normal bootup
    Here are some system specs as well
    ===================
    Ram- 4 gigs of corsair vengance
    Cpu- AMD Phenom II x4 965
    Graphics card- Raedon HD6670
    The screen for my mint and archbang live usbs are just fine. The screen during the initial install is usually just fine as well. I am postulating that this error is arch-specific, as my old ubuntu and mint installs never had this problem. I am also curious because for my arch installs, even before I installed graphics drivers and mesa and whatnot, I still would get the error. Other then this strange glitch, my arch based operating systems would work just fine and dandy.
    Here are some fixes I tried
    ==================
    -Adjusting my monitor- This seemingly obvious  fix did abslolutely nothing. It would move the screen over, but a black space would appear where the screen was, almost as if I tried doing the same thing with a fixed screen..
    -Installing a display manager (this was in arch)- The screen was still glitched over
    -Trying a new monitor- The same glitch happened, although both monitors are the exact same Dell monitor, and the only distinguishing feature is the size.
    Here are some theories I have
    ====================
    -The most likely issue is my graphics card itself, as Raedon and Linux tend to have issues as I have heard.
    -A corrupted iso file in my live usb (this is highly unlikely since most of the arch install process is done via downloading files from the web). However I used the same flashdrive for both live usbs. I made the archbang one by formatting the previous arch live usb (in FAT32) and then using the dd method.
    -A possible monitor size issue, but I feel as though this is highly unlikely
    -A corrupted HDD (this is just me grasping at straws, therefore this possibilty is possible, but highly unlikely as other symptoms would have presented themselves).
    Does anybody have any idea what to do at this point?

    I'm having a very similar problem. I tried installing Arch on a laptop of mine I'm not really using anymore, and every time I'm either trying to startx or startxfce4 my screen looks like this: http://imgur.com/7wZohhw.png (sorry for the blurry image).
    As you can see only roughly 40% of the screen are drawn at the top of the monitor, whereas the bottom 60% are artifacts. Note that the system is perfectly responsive, the right click context menu opens up etc. It is safe to assume that this is not a hardware error since the device was running a Win7 installation flawlessly just 2 hours ago. The laptop in question is a stock ASUS X7BJN with a built-in Nvidia GTX 425M graphics card. I tried switching from proprietary Nvidia drivers to the nouveau ones, however all that does is forcing the X server to terminate on startup (no devices detected, etc.). Forcing vesa in the boot options didn't help either.
    I can't even play around with the xorg.conf since this will lead me to the same error as above (no devices), I have to delete xorg.conf every time I want to get X running in the first place.
    Hooking up an external monitor and trying to move the alignment did nothing for me, same as OP. Unforunately the solution proposed here won't work for me since I don't have an AMD card.
    While I do not know much about nvidia graphics cards, I do know that the command that I entered into the grub boot (and made persistant through other means) was a command that edited the power profile of my graphics card. It was suggested to me earlier to edit the power profile, but it didn't work because I didn't mkconfig the changes. However, it would have (in theory) worked. Perhaps you need to find a way to edit your nvidia graphcis driver power profile, and tinker with it until you find a setting that works.

  • Strange Graphics Glitches Occurring Randomly

    For the past 10 months or so, I've been getting these random screen anomalies on my monitor. They normally don't appear until after the computer has been turned on for awhile. The longer the computer is on, the more frequent they appear. They almost always occur when a new window from an application is created. They remain in the same position even if I scroll up and down. The only way I can get rid of them is if I close the window and open a new one. I've had this occur in both Leopard and Snow Leopard including the 10.6.3 update.
    Does anyone know what's causing this? Is it my graphics card or a software issue? I've repaired permissions and run Diskwarrior but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I have a 2006 Mac Pro.
    Here is a capture of one of the glitches in the lower left of my iTunes window.
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/538897/forums/graphics_glitch.jpg

    I'm getting the same thing. I did the Disk troubleshooting and everything came up ok. Then I thought maybe it was a OS thing, so I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Didn't help. Now I'm thinking of upgrading video cards.
    My display goes black some times, and the OS freezes. Don't know if maybe that is video related as well.
    We'll see. Can't wait to hear and answer on this problem.

  • Had a wierd graphics glitch...

    Just had my first strange graphics glitch tonight. I was moving photos around in Aperture and listening to some music through iTunes, and also had Firefox open, when suddenly the menu bar turned into a bunch of random colored blocks and the computer slowed WAAAAY down, to the point I had to to a hard shutdown. The bottom did feel pretty hot to the touch, though iStat said it was running around 65C or so. First time it's happened, so hoping to not see a repeat.

    If this happens again, you might want to check Activity Monitor and see if you have some process running amok in the background and hogging the CPU. This could possibly produce the heat and slowness you are describing. Be sure to select "All Processes" at the top when you do this. See if you can find and quit the rogue process. If you can, then your computer should calm down and run normally.
    Good luck!

  • Graphical glitches in Safari 5.0.1 render it unusable

    Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Semi-recently, over the last month, I've been getting these intermittent strange graphical glitches in Safari.
    I can't tell if it's due to the most recent Flash update or an Apple software update.
    The fact that I can't make it happen at will makes it even more difficult to debug. It's so annoying that I'm considering ditching Safari for good.
    Basically, sometimes when I'm surfing one of three things may happen:
    1. Certain things stay on top of Safari, see the screenshot below.
    http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/1606/safariglitch1.jpg
    2. The entire window turns into a nasty looking mosaic, see the screenshot below which oddly enough is a screenshot of a screenshot because if I save the actual screenshot, it saves as all black.
    http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/1694/safariglitch2.jpg
    3. If you picture Safari in a 3x3 grid, sometimes the middle third will get "stuck" across all tabs and not scroll. Sorry, don't have a screenshot of that.
    The only way I've been able to remedy any of these is to quit and restart Safari.
    Anyone else run into this?
    Very aggravating.

    annoying indeed.
    I'd start by moving everything in the Home/Library/safari folder, except your bookmarks.plist (quit safari beforehand) & testing until you see the problem again. If you do, either disable Flash, or if you use it (naturally) consider swapping to an earlier version temporarily.
    If/when it seems Flash related, try trashing all of Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/, since that holds some Flash settings.
    If a new account (for testing) appeals, then your bookmarks & more can be copied over to it without much trouble - fast user switching makes it rather easier to flit back n forth too.
    *edit* you might usefully remove Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist at the same time as the Safari folder contents.

  • MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC: Graphical Glitches/Corruption

    Hello, I bought and installed an MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC video card one week ago. For the last week, it has been running perfectly, but today when I started up a game the 3D graphics began glitching and showing random stretched triangles and distorted models. While the 3D graphics are running, the monitor randomly loses signal from the video card and occasionally the program will crash with a popup bubble stating that the NVIDIA driver has recovered from a problem.
    After reading through some posts here, I downloaded the MSI Afterburner program, enabled voltage monitoring, and set everything to defaults.
    The defaults are:
    Core Voltage: 1000 mV
    Core Clock : 880 MHz
    Shader Clock : 1760 MHz
    Memory Clock : 2100 MHz
    When I click the button to run a Kombuster stability test, the 3D has the same graphical glitches that I saw in my games. Here is a screenshot:
    http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_880.jpg
    I tried lowering the Core Clock speed and retrying the test. It appears that the level of corruption is proportional to the clock speed. At the minimum clock speed of 440 MHz, the graphics are almost perfect, however a glitch or two will still occasionally show up.
    Here is the test at Core Clock = 705 MHz: http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_705.jpg
    and at 440 MHz: http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_440.jpg
    - I've tried bumping up the Core Voltage a little to around 1020 mV, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
    - Lowering the Memory Clock also reduces glitches, but they never go away completely.
    - Even at the absolute minimum clock settings, my games still glitch and crash.
    - I do not have access to another system that I can try the video card in.

    As I type this I'm starting to get corruption right on my desktop too, with random pixels changing color and black rectangles appearing on applications.
    From what I've read in other threads, it seems like my power supply may not be sufficient since it has multiple 12V rails, but before I spend ~$100 on a new one I thought I'd see if anyone had any other thoughts.

    Quote from: MP64 on 22-April-11, 03:46:20
    I have an interesting update on my original problem.
    A week after I reseated the card, the graphical glitches returned. I turned the computer off, reseated the card again, turned it on, and it began working fine.
    Another week goes by with no problems, and then a couple days ago the glitches came back. Thinking it strange that the card could somehow take approximately the same amount of time to cause the same kind of bad connection, I wondered if there was something else that was causing the glitches to temporarily disappear.
    I tried rebooting my computer, but the glitches remained.
    I then completely turned off my computer and pulled out the power cord and left it for a couple minutes. I didn't open the case at all and made sure not to do anything that would bump any components. I turned the computer back on - glitches are gone once again.
    So, it would seem that it may in fact have something to do with the power supply and not any bad connections with the card itself - at least, that's the best guess I have at the moment. I leave my computer on 24/7 so it seems like it doesn't like being left on for an entire week with this new video card installed.
    Does this sound sensible? Is it possible for a power supply to slowly fail over several days, only to start working again after being powered down for a couple minutes?
    Did you ever figure your issue out?  I have the exact same issue.  My system runs fine for almost a week...and then my desktop starts artifacting.  The only way it goes away is to unplug my pc (or flip the switch on PSU).  Then it runs again perfectly for nearly a week again and I start getting artifacts and the message stating that the graphics driver has stopped working and then recovered.
    I also run my pc 24/7 and this problem is getting very annoying!  My PSU shouldn't be a problem as I have the PC & Cooling 750W...
    Oh...almost forgot.  I've seen the same issue on 2 video cards now.  RMA'd the first one and the second one does the exact same thing...

  • BPC10 Graphic Glitch/Bug on Excel

    Hi all,
    sometimes it happens to me this kind of strange (graphic?) bug on the Excel part of BPC:
    when I use the EPM - Member Selector (or the EPM Context filter), as you can see in the above image in the red squadre, there is a graphic glitch and I can't define the filter. I have to close and reopen the Excel in order to solve this issue.
    This happen, as I said before, randomly (of course this mean I don't know the cause of the problem) but in a specific report it always happens after executing a macro. So, are there any specific VBA instructions that I should be aware of that can cause this kind of problems?
    Thanks,
    Michele

    Just for test - change resolution to 1280x... and try to reproduce. For sure it's not a workaround but an argument to talk to SAP!
    Look on my 2560x1440 with 125% magnification EPM About:

  • Momentary Pauses and Graphical Glitches

    I'm having the following issues with my mac pro that I use at work. I also have the same specification machine at home without the problem.
    1.) During a cold boot (after being off over night) two of the screens become absolutely garbled. Both of the LCD's are connected to an NVidia 7300GT thats plugged into the x16 PCI Express port. I also have another 7300GT that drives an additional monitor that doesn't have any issues. This happens when I boot to OS/X, and when I boot to Windows XP. However, on XP it doesn't happen till I login.
    2.) When the machine is warm everything seems okay most of the time. Under OS/X it will occasionally hang where nothing does anything, but then after a second or two everything will be fine. There are little graphics hickups occasionally that go away if I move a window over them. Under XP every great once in a while the screen will become garbled and it will lock up. No blue screen or any error messages. I don't believe its ever the screen connected to the video card in the X8 slot.
    These are the steps that I've taken to rectify the problem, but they've all failed.
    A.) I did the hardware diagnostics and it reported everything as peachy. I ran both the quick test, and the extended test. It DID however seem rather unresponsive during sections of the testing, but that might be normal.
    B.) I reset the PRAM/NVRAM. FYI - it only beeped once and rebooted.
    C.) I pulled out the Video card on the X16 lane, and replaced it with the one that was on a X8 pci express lane.
    D.) I used the video card from step C on the PCI Express X8 lane, and didn't have a video card in the X16 lane. I don't remember if this test worked because I soon had issues booting it. Apparently it didn't like this configuration.
    E.) I removed a hard drive that I put in recently (couple months ago). I can't remember having any of the issues before I put it in. The hard drive seemed fine though. No errors, clicking or any strangeness.
    F.) I reinstalled OS/X using a brand new disk, and I also installed Vista on it. Vista showed no signs of issues, and the brand new install of OS/X 10.5.6 still had the occasionally pausing. I haven't tried a cold boot with Vista yet. I imagine the graphics will become garbled. I also haven't used Vista enough to experience the every once in awhile (1 or 2 times a day) garbled screen lockup that I had with XP. I have used Vista enough to know it doesn't pause like OS/X does on the machine. I know OS/X doesn't pause like that normally.
    G.) I reconfigured the PCI express lanes so that three of them are X8. I haven't tested the cold boot, but OS/X still hangs occasionally. I haven't been able to determine any pattern to the hanging.
    H.) There is no indication in the console of whats making OS/X momentarily freeze
    I just want to see if there is anything left to do before I start swapping parts with my Mac Pro at home. There really is only the memory (maybe the cards the memory is on as well), mother board and the power supply. My bet at this point is the logic board.
    Message was edited by: Jason Mecham

    Update - Despite my feelings that it wouldn't work I decided to try the Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT, and to my surprise it worked.
    It solved the issue of momentary pauses within OS/X 10.5.6
    It solved the problem I had where 10.5.7 wasn't working at all (it was nightmarishly slow)
    It solved the occasional graphical glitches within XP
    It solved the cold boot graphics/system freezes I was having within OS/X, and XP
    It solved Vista's issue with the graphics driver crashing, and reloading a few times a day.(I never turned it off once vista was getting me by).
    I find it really bizarre considering that I have two 7300 GT's and I tried both of them individually in the system with no luck.
    I haven't tried putting one of them back in combination with the 8800, but that's my next step. I do want support for 3 monitors.
    If that fails I'll try the questionable 7300GTs in my home mac pro. I have a 7300GT in it, and it's still working fine.
    If the questionable ones fail than I'll feel a lot better. I don't care about a video card, but I do care that my mac pro is working without issue.
    The only surprise in this is how well Vista works with crappy hardware. I mean it just kept running right throw the glitches. It would tell me about it, and where it occurred, and after a reloading the graphics driver it kept on going.

  • Freezing Macbook Pro. Graphical glitches and occasional 3 tones on start up. Hardware test shows no errors. Is it RAM or a graphics card on the way out, or software?

    Recently my MacBook Pro has been freezing and showing bad graphical glitches. Multiple restarts eventually fix it and a couple of times the three tones break, three tones break warning has occurred on start up. From what I can find this is usually a RAM error but after doing a hardware check I get the response all is OK. This still happens after the check and I am unsure what the problem could be. Can anyone help? Could it be a memory issue, a hard drive issue, Graphics card issue (drivers are up to date) or is something up with the software. I also have a Bootcamp partition running Windows 7 too and this is a problem that presents itself there too.

    Most likely to be RAM:
    Beeps on startup:
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images.
    5 beeps = processor is not usable

    I would suggest you take it to an Apple Store for a free diagnostic.

  • Crashes, graphics glitches, and more crashes when editing video clips

    Can't for the life of me figure out why PE keeps crashing on me, so I'm here for help.
    My system consists of a i7-970 hexacore, 6GB ram, 1x 500GB os drive, 3x500gb raid 0 drives (this is where my video clips are stored), 2x GeForce GTX460 video cards.
    OS is Windows 7 Profressional 64 bit.
    The video files I work with are generally in the 50-200GB size.
    A little background - the videos that I am working with are recordings from Battlefield Bad Company 2 that I have recorded with some capture software called Dxtory.
    I record at 1920x1080 at 60 FPS to avi files.  The avi files are using the "xtor" codec (Dxtory's own codec)
    [ISFT]    DxtoryCore ver2.0.0.101
    [ISRC]    Video:YUV420 Audio:Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)
    Audio is PCM 192000Hz recorded in stereo.
    Let me start by saying I have not had trouble with this before until I started recording the videos at 60 FPS.  30 FPS worked ok (some crashes here and there, but they were bearable), but the frequent crashes started happening when I started working with the 60 FPS videos, done mainly so I could play around with slowing the clips down, etc.
    Sometimes I can open and edit clips just fine.
    Recently, a project that I'm working on is crashing when I try putting two different clips from different files together on the time line.  I managed to get it to work once, and saved the project after that.  Then, PE crashed randomly and when trying to reopen the project, it just crashes and won't let me get any further.
    I should mention the graphics glitches as well - occasionally (especially when previewing video clips before adding them to the timeline) after I close the preview window, the graphics in PE will glitch out, causing random lines to appear in certain areas, graphics to stack on top of eachother and freeze up, and sometimes I can click on the "play" button in the main project window and hear everything start playing, but the graphics are completely screwed up to the point where I can't view the video or hit the pause button.
    All of my computer hardware is fine, all drivers, and PE, are up to date.
    Can someone please help me figure out what is going on?  I'll be happy to provide any more information that might help out.

    The most likely issue is the codec that your program is using the create your video. It's apparently not compatible with Premiere Elements.
    This often happens also when people try to record their on-screen video with FRAPS.
    You'll see lots of discussions on this issue in the Premiere Pro forum. However, it's even more pronounced in Premiere Elements, which is designed to work almost exclusively with camcorder video.
    Some video programs are a little more versatile with this type of video. Some people have found Corell's Video Studio better at handling these non-traditonal formats.
    But I did a Google search on Dxtory editing and couldn't find any information on it.
    Sorry I can't offer a solution. But I can pretty much assure you that Premiere Elements isn't it. sorry.

  • I Start a New am so frustrated with problems syncing photos on my iPad. I choose which files to sync but get deleted photos in my albums, my photos are in the wrong albums and the weirdest of all- I now have strange graphics and Facebook photos in albums!

    I have spent several hours trying to find a solution to the following problems. After syncing my IPad with ITunes, I end up with photos that I previously deleted in my albums, duplicate photos, albums that have wrong pictures in them and weirdest of all, strange graphics and Facebook photos that are not even mine. Right now I hate this thing!
    I have scanned the support forums, Googled it, deleted several photo caches, spent days editing my photo files, checked the specific folders I wanted to sync and it seems like it's not syncing, just adding the same photos and strange crap that it already had on it. Oh please help me!
    Thanks!

    OK....I'm stumped.  The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account.  Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?
