PC Drivers & Software

[AlwaysTilted]

So my pc has these small black boxes/pixels that flicker on both my monitors the minute I sign in (over desktop and any apps/browsers). I need help trying to fix this issue so ill add details below.

Ive tried the following:

- Rebooting

- hard reset (unplugging power cable, and swapping hdmi ports for my 1 monitor)

- Reverting graphics driver updates

- Completely uninstalling AMD software and re-installing it

- Reset my windows (did not roll back an update cause it just began today and my last windows update was 12 days ago)

One interesting takeaway is that the pixels dissapeared when i completely uninstalled the AMD software.  When i reinstalled AMD, the pixels returned. They remain even when rolling back the driver to previous updates. 

Does anyone have any advice or possible solutions? This has happenned once before a few months ago and it just randomly returned to normal hours later, but im trying to get to the bottom of the issue so it doesnt continue happening. 

All recommendations are appreciated, thank you.

Could be a VRAM stability or heat problem. Check temperatures. Unfortunately I don't think Radeon software allows dropping VRAM speed below default unfortunately. If there is trouble with temps, you could dust the heatsink and make sure fans spin. Make sure GPU is not overclocked.

Could run sfc /scannow from console to check and fix system files. You need to run the console as admin.

Could also try to disable hardware acceleration where available, make sure you don't have any overlays on and so on.

Issue might vanish after some driver update or by reinstalling Windows from ground up.

You need to supply more info on your system.  Motherboard, RAM, CPU, storage devices.

With the only info you have provided, it sounds like you have integrated graphics enabled.  Also have you installed drivers for each monitor?  You could possibly have a conflict there.

You can't just install drivers on top of drivers.  Uninstall the current drivers using DDU or BC Uninstaller.  Then install the drivers that you last worked.
