Z68 GD-65 (G3) Random Garbled Graphics

I just built my new rig and I'm having a peculiar, although (at least at the moment) not all that severe problem.
The rig seems to work just fine so far.  Been stable through what stress testing I've done.  I'm currently just running it at stock to make sure things are ok.  However, occasionally when I boot, my screen is garbled, for lack of a better word.  You can still sorta see what's on the screen, it's just all funky and rearranged.  This seems to only happen after I've left the BIOS and saved some changes.  The changes themselves don't seem to be the problem, because I can go back into the BIOS, leave everything the same as the last boot (which was problematic) and it'll load just fine without the graphics issue.  I've yet to see this issue happen on a normal reboot (without entering the BIOS), so it leads me to the motherboard, although it could just be coincidental so far.
It's one of those hard to nail down problems, because it happens so infrequently.  I may try updating the BIOS, but I'm just curious if anybody else has had a similar problem before I go too in depth into trying to troubleshoot it myself.
Rig details:
i5 2500k
8GB GSkill Sniper low voltage DDR1600
MSI Z68 GD-65 (G3)
Nvidia GTS 450
Corsair TX750 V2

System is still pretty fresh, but I haven't seen anything worrying or out of the ordinary in actual operation.  Haven't had a lot of time yet on the new build, but it installed windows, tons of runs of wprime, 2 hours of prime95 blend, a couple hours of gaming, and plenty of hours of web browsing all without problem so far.
UEFI is what shipped with it atm, 23.1.
So far the problem appears to be benign, but weird nonetheless.  I may have to try using the onboard video and see if it still does it.

  • Garbled graphics

    Has anyone had graphic glitches with their iPad 2?
    I was play GT Racing this morning with my son. The game kept crashing on my iPad 2 with odd garbled graphics - strange colors and random triangular shapes. Much like when a logic board goes bad on a Mac.
    It only happened in the GT game so I wonder if is a game glitch or a bad graphic chip. Is there a way to test this?
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately, uninstalling and closing other apps didn't work.
    I did check the GT Racing app in the app store and it appears others have the same problem. Probably safe to assume it is a game glitch instead of a hardware problem since it doesn't have the problem with any other app.
    Thanks again for the suggestion.

  • Garbled Graphics every once and a while on FF 4.0

    I have been using FF 4.0 for a few days now. Every once and a while while browsing, all of a sudden the graphics will freeze up and then all of the menus on FF are garble graphics (see screenshot link below). This only seems to happen when Pandora radio is open. It takes a browser exit and reopen to clear the issue. However the garbling appears to continue in right-click context menus in windows explorer. It did not happen under the same circumstances with FF 3.6.

    Thanks,

    I also notice that the context menu garbling happens to Acrobat as well, even after acrobat is closed. It takes a computer restart to get rid of it altogether.
    Also, the screenshot link above is incorrect, it is:

  • Open source ati driver -- garbled graphics

    I'm trying to run an openGL game (Uplink-demo) with the open source ati driver, but I just get strange garbled graphics. It's not the card or the game either -- I installed opensuse 10.2 on this same box the other day and had no problems running the game. Even XGL worked surprisingly. But opensuse is a pig next to Arch though so I'm hoping for a fix Here is the result:
    Help! :S
    BTW, I can't run the closed source fglrx driver because my card is no longer supported (Radeon 9000, rv250 chipset). The legacy drivers ATI provides don't seem to install with Xorg 7.2.

    If you tried the fglrx package first did you reinstall libgl or is it libdri? The exact one is in the wiki something having to do with them being the same name but different internally so one is downloaded based on which driver you have...or something like that.

    Well, I've never installed fglrx on this box since I already knew about the incompatibility regarding ati cars older than r300. So that's taken out of the equation. Is there a different mesa? I only see one in the packages.
    On a whim, I decided to try a fresh install of Arch. I installed xorg, xf86-video-ati, and  gnome + extras -- I basically got the same result. So it's either something missing in my xorg config or I'm missing some gl lib. I hope. Dunno
    Thanks for the replies guys!

  • Garbled Graphics From Startup

    Hi,
    When I try to boot my intel imac i get garbled graphics, right from the instant the screen lights up. Its as if the normal screen is overlaid with a bitmapped blue haze, it gets past the grey apple (still with haze) but will get no further seaming to freeze on an all blue screen, on which the mouse is still visible and working. Once when i hit the power button to restart, it inadvertently slept, and upon wake-up i could make out the login screen but with heavy graphic distortion. The graphics would not respond though. I've zapped the pram and tried to boot from the osx cd. Is there anything else to check before i send it for repair?
    Thanks, Mike
    iMac Intel 2x2Ghz 2Gb RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I took it into my local genius bar and the guy there zapped the pram several times in succession, on each repeat the screen got a little better until, voila, back to normal! I suspect some dodgy code got stuck in a buffer somewhere and it needed a good few zaps to sort it. Problem Solved

  • Macbook display randomly garbles. Corrects for a while when I plug in an external monitor. What's up?

    I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro that has some random display issues. 
    1. The laptop display will put a 1-inch black bar down the screen and shift everything to the right.  It fixes itself for a while when I plug an external monitor into the mini-display port, but then does the black bar thing again.
    2. Screen just totally garbles and I have to do a hard restart. Plugging in the external monitor seems to correct this for a while, too.....
    I went into System Settings and unchecked the box so that it would only use the discrete graphics, and it doesn't help.
    Failing GPU?  Discrete or on-board? I'm guessing failing discrete GPU......
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi.
    PC disks should be FAT32 formatted as they come and if you out the disk into an external drive enclosure be it USB or Firewire, your iMac should be able to mount it and read it.
    If you want to use this "re-convert" hard drive as your "permanent" external drive for your iMac and nothing else, I would advise you to reformat the disk to the GUID format (partition), which is recommended for all Intel Macs, because they read and write to external drives a little differently from their PPC counterparts.
    Here's the link to how to reformat/re-partition a drive to GUID:

  • Qosmio G10-133: I am having random lockups - Graphic driver issue

    Hi
    my machine screen goes blank at random and i get the below error message which suggests i need finally the latest graphic driver. Uninstall the Nividea driver from my machine which appeared to fix the problem but my graphics were reduced. I then reinstalled from the Toshiba site the graphic driver and i have the same problem.
    Please can you help?
    Error caused by NVIDIA Graphics Driver: no specific solution found.
    Thank you for submitting an error report.
    Problem description:
    An unknown error occurred in NVIDIA Graphics Driver, created by NVIDIA Corporation.
    Recommendations:
    NVIDIA Corporation is currently not aware of a specific solution for the problem that you reported. Below is a list of recommendations to take that may help prevent the problem from recurring.
    1. Download and install an updated NVIDIA Graphics Driver from one of the following locations:
    Microsoft Update
    NVIDIA Corporation
    2. If an updated driver is not available, check with your computer manufacturer.
    3. If you are running the latest version of NVIDIA Graphics Driver, please contact NVIDIA Corporation for your support options.
    Additional information:
    If this problem continues to occur with the latest product updates for NVIDIA Graphics Driver we highly recommend you obtain assistance and troubleshooting information directly from NVIDIA Corporation.
    If you are not familiar with NVIDIA Graphics Driver and you are questioning how the program was installed on your computer, it is possible that the program was installed with another program. If you do not know why NVIDIA Graphics Driver is running, many programs configure themselves to start automatically every time you turn on your computer.

    Hi
    I agree with previous comment. We don?t know what did you done with your unit and why the display driver makes problems now. The fact is that you should use the display driver designed by notebook manufacturer and not from graphic card producer.
    How to say now what you can do? Advice given by NVIDIA is correct. Try to start the unit in safe mode using F8 key at the start up. From device manager remove listed graphic device or even graphic driver software listed under software in control panel (if you can find something there). Restart the unit and when WXP is loaded try to install Toshiba designed driver again.

  • Macbook pro core i7 high res anti-glare screen garbled graphics

    My two month old macbook pro consistently (once every day or two) produces a garbled up screen after using it for a few hours. The only way to resolve this is to restart the computer. I've talked with apple support and have gone into the store for help and so far everyone is clueless and offer no real advice. I can't take a screenshot on the machine once this occurs, the picture just comes up blank, but I did take pictures with my cellphone.
    screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/MsUyO.jpg http://i.imgur.com/nhUfi.jpg
    Has anyone else had a similar issue and is this most likely a graphics hardware error?

    Drm31078, it sounds like you've made up your mind what the problem is and decided to wait for it to fix itself. In light of ryanfitz's experience, which now indicates that the problem occurs when using each of his two GPUs, I question your conclusions that there's a graphics switching problem and that Apple's basic software is at fault, simply because there are thousands of other users with the same machine and the same Apple software who aren't seeing the same behavior. Therefore, I recommend that you run the extended Apple Hardware test repeatedly in hopes that it will eventually detect an intermittent hardware fault, bearing in mind that if there's a fault in the video cable or the LCD panel, AHT can't and won't detect it. And I recommend showing your pictures to a Genius or an authorized service technician for evaluation. A single Apple employee's failure to detect a hardware problem is not conclusive evidence that none exists, and I don't think there's any good reason to dismiss that possibility out of hand on the basis of what you've seen and heard so far.

  • Random "garbling" after recording

    Ok, after recording a podcast we'll review the program and do editing. But we developed a problem within the last month and that is in random places of the audio it will abruptly garble. Maybe 5 minutes later in the show its fine, later on its broken audio again. Is there a patch or means to fix this problem? It is frustrating to say the least. It is also effecting my friends macbook.
    We are using a 24" imac with 4 gig memory (I know its sexy cool too), a blue snowball usb mic, and garageband.
    Garageband input is set for snowball mic and output at system settings.
    Message was edited by: hawkeyeharley

    I posted re. the recording issue two weeks ago but didn't get ANY response.
    Yes the box will sleep after four hours if you don't press any keys on the remote, slightly annoying but it's an energy efficiency thang.

  • I7 860 vs. These Random Horrible Graphics Card

    Hello,
    So I have a GT 520 and a GT 620 lying around and I am not willing to spend money on a new graphics card or PSU. I also have this i7 860 but no CUDA-enabled graphics card.
    Would a MPE-CUDA w/ 520 or 620 or just MPE Software with the i7 be faster?
    Yes I know it is a horrible question.

    To be honest, you'd be better off permanently locking Premiere to the software-only MPE mode with either of those two GPUs installed in combination with your CPU. That's because both GPUs use 64-bit DDR3 RAM with an appallingly low 14.4 GB/s memory bandwidth. That's lower GPU memory bandwidth than even the main system RAM that you have installed.

  • Assign resources to all ISA and garbled graphics on boot.....any suggestions?

    Subject says it all. I boot up and get the above mentioned error from the LED bracket. If i could see clearly enough i could mess around in the bios.... I just replaced the MOBO, PSU and video card and this is the first attempt at rebooting it with the new components (exact same components just factory new). 
    UPDATE: I can get it to boot up to windows now but the graphic display is still messed up although i can see when im in windows. When I use an old video card (geforce 2) It works pretty much like normal with no graphic errors. With either video card in I get no LED errors when im finally in windows.
    Could the new motherboard and video card with old HDD and winxp loading on it be causing the graphics issues? I will try a fresh install of winxp and see if that fixes it. Until then, any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Thanks for the replies. All the components i just put in were the same exact components, I just did RMA for replacements because I had a power surge or something and things went bad. Maybe I just got lucky with the maddog crap psu for a year. I did have a thermaltake 420 watt PSU but it caused problems and I tried the maddogg and it worked fine so I assumed it was better quality than thermaltake. Would poor PSU cause the graphics card to display funky? makes since that I put in the small video card and it works fine....maybe ill try putting in the RMA'd thermaltake 420 PSU again. Thanks again
    Also...No, I haven't done a clean install of windows yet because I wanted to start up and save some important data from the HDD then I was planning on doing a clean install after that.

  • IPod touch randomly shows graphic of USB into iTunes

    I have read other questions/replies but I didn't really read the answers that I thought pertained to me.
    I have had my 4th gen iPod touch for 14 months now, been using it with no problem.
    In the middle of being on it, the screen faded to black and shows the graphics of a USB plugging into the iTunes symbol.
    I tried to press the home button and turn it off as well, but when I turned it back on, it went back to the same screen.
    I plugged it into my computer, which won't even reckognize it (never happened before)
    Not sure what to do next.
    I read posts about restore and reset, but I wanted to be sure I knew what was going on.
    I can't back anything up however, because like I said, the computer won't "read" it. I even tried another cord, a plug in, and tried another "i" product to make sure it was my particular iPod touch that was having the connection issue.
    So here it sits, plugged into my laptop, with nothing happening and that dang graphic staring me in the face...
    Any ideas community friends??
    Thanks,

  • G4Ti4400-TD garbled graphics

    Ive been playing games now for months on my WindowsXP system with DirectX 8.1. But recently I purchased a game that requires DirectX 9.1. I have installed Microsoft DirectX 9 and now my video wont function with Hardware acceleration turned on. The graphics are a mass of jumbled colors.
    I am using Windows XP operating system and I have an MSI manufactured G4Ti4400-TD card. The manual states that DirectX 8.1 and lower is supported.
    I figured I needed to update the bios on my video card so I checked MSI Bios site and used the live update utility. No upgrade to my cards Bios was found. Is there a compatability issue with DX9 and is there a driver or bios upgrade that I can get to make my card function?
    My video driver is:
    nv4_disp.dll
    Version: 6.14.0001.4345 (English)
    My Video Bios is:
    Version: 4.25.00.22.37

    Ok I got everything working again and with Direct X9.0 I would like to thank you all for helping me get to the bottom of the problem. In the end I did the following:
    Uninstalled video drivers
    Installed DirectX 9.0a
    Installed the latest Via Hyperion 4 in 1 motherboard drivers
    Installed the latest nvidia driver that supports GF4Ti4400the 6.14.0001.4345 driver (didnt work)
    Uninstalled video drivers
    Installed an older version of the nvidia driver that supports GF4Ti4400: 6.13.0010.4109 (English) THANKS AGE2!

  • Bizarre garbled graphics in Safari and Finder on i7 glossy hi-res machine

    *here's one in safari:*
    *and here's one in my finder:*
    *is this likely a software issue or a hardware issue?*

    OMG! My six-month-old Macbook Pro has been doing the same thing since I bought it. I thought it was just an odd Safari bug, and unfortunately only had two weeks with it in the US before leaving for a country that does not have any Mac repair facilities. It was only then that I realized it had the capability to "migrate" out of Safari to affect the desktop. At this point it requires a restart to be able to make out anything on the screen. If I quit and restart Safari while it is still only "in" Safari that will generally arrest it. It is slightly more likely to occur if a Safari window is open when the computer goes to sleep, especially with a lot of tabs. I haven't seen it arise from any other program, but I don't really have anything more exotic than MS Office installed.
    I did a search here when it first happened but didn't find anything. I'm so glad you posted this. I couldn't figure out how I was going to explain it to an Apple repair person without them thinking I'm nuts, because it's not consistently reproducible. I tried taking a screenshot but it ends up only the a shot full of pixellated squares. Now I can show them this thread...
