Graphical issue, need to restart pc everytime to fix it

[iloVille]

I have this graphical issue, which has easy but annoying fix of having to restart pc. So if I have shutdown my pc and I open MHWilds it will always have this issue (picture is from main menu when selecting a save):

Anyone know why is this happening? And why does simply restarting the pc fix it?

I have Legion Pro 7 16ARX8H laptop with Ryzen 9 7945HX cpu and RTX 4080 gpu

Do you have set the game for maximum performance that the laptop always chooses the correct GPU?

See here tip #6

Yeh I have, doesn't help unfortunately, also thanks for the guide, really good stuff!

use nVidia Game Ready driver 566.36 from December 2024. Newer drivers still cause issues for RTX 40 and older.

I'll look into it.
For now the fix for this was to turn off Fast Startup. But I wonder what the underlying issue is, maybe the drivers.

driver side memory leaks definitely. I had a similar issue with flickering black squares appearing after a while and 15 mins later the GPU crashed (black screen + fans at 100%). Issue stopped to surface when i rolled back to that driver.

Could be. Fast startup / superfetch puts stuff only into hibernation when you "shut down" your PC. That would also explain why restarting helps.

If you disable fast startup / hibernation, it should behave normal after shutting down your PC as well. Though ~ it will slow down your Windows startup and shutdown. But it will overall improve the system's stability too. (that is also why I put it as tip #23 at the moment)

Slower boots but how slow are we talking? Most PCs nowadays boot relatively fast. I'm on AM5 and 30~40 seconds is considered kind of slow apparently. Let's say it boots 20 seconds faster. I turn it on maybe 2 or 3 times a day at most. A minute isn't worth the hassle. Not to mention having to restart wastes time again, so realistically, you barely save any time at all.

I am talking about two minutes more for me compared to having hibernation active.

AM5 slow boot? You must have quite the amount of RAM. The more RAM capacity you have, the longer the initialisation. Yes this is one of the rare moment where a system with a single stick of 8GB of RAM boots faster then the 4x 16GB (64GB) ones.

Two minutes sound very long in the day and age of nvme drives. Cheap mobo or slow CPU maybe?

Wasn't the actual cause XMP/EXPO profiles and higher capacity just making that worse?

Very cheap laptop. I am not complaining. PC setups are individual after all, and I rather have the assurance that shut down works as it is supposed to work than fast boot.

It just can sometimes be annoying when I have to restart a few times. But then I have time to set up fresh tea.

Yeah, like i said, the more capacity and speed, the longer the memory training and initialisation.
