Bottom of Screen Flickers (Solved)

[Niknokinater]

As of recently, the bottom 25% of my screen started to flicker.

Like, it's looks fine and everything, but for a split second, absolute split second, the bottom 25% will change for a frame. I've seen it flick black, white, and now a magenta. It just happens so randomly, in-game, on my desktop, wherever (which leads me to believe that it may be a monitor issue thankfully but I'm not sure. I ought to test some displays).

AMD FX-9590 Eight-Core @ 3.4 Ghz
Antec 650 Liquid Cooler (CPU idles at about 30C°)
ASUS 970 ProGaming Aura
GTX 950 2 Gb
8 Gb DDR3
930 Gb
Antec EA-500D 500W
Windows 10 (64-bit)

Test with another display and if the issue presists either the cable or the GPU is broken.

Figured. Sounds like a plan ^^ Forgot that the cord could be an issue too. Hopefully that's it xD Just bought my GPU and monitor barely half a year ago.

If the GPU is the issue you can still contact the manufacturer and RMA it, it should still be under warranty (assuming you bought the GPU new).

Ye, it was bought new. Thank you as well for the information :)

I haven't made any changes nor tested other displays yet, but I found that I'm able to trigger it often with this software (but, again, it happens everywhere else).

I fear that if I'm able to trigger the ananoly like this, that it could prove to be a deeper issue... ?

Then the GPU is most likely the issue.

Correction: it MUST be the GPU. The artefacting is only happening in the area of the screen which is displaying 3D images. I think something is wrong with the GPU die.

It happens in the 2D section as well as the little bar at the bottom.

When paused at the frame, the first artifact is just a sudden black tint to the lower section of the screen. As for the second, a sudden white tint appears. (I've caught it a sudden blue and purple before on Chrome and the dekstop before as well).

Is it possible that the CPU could be at fault? How probable is that as compared to the GPU?

Did you ever figure out the problem? My pc is doing the same thing. I have 3 monitors and it does it on each one. I'm assuming it's graphics card issues but i don't wanna buy a new card unless I know for sure that's it's the problem.

If you're getting artifacting, then there two things.

1. Run DDU in safe mode, wipe the drivers, and download the latest, or try older drivers for your GPU.

2. RMA the GPU, or test GPU in a spare system, or use a spare GPU to test the PCI-e slot on your system.

I wiped my drivers with DDU and rolled back to 382.53. After that, it seemed to disappear (assuming I remember correctly) ^^

EDIT: Though pushing the windows key whilst in a fullscreen application still triggers it.

if that does not work try changing from full screen to borderless window

Reset the NVidoa video driver to its defaults
Also tweak the video settings of the game . For instance lower the video quality .

I had hard time understanding you, because you said you have issue for all the things, while saying it's fine....

Is it just videos having trouble with?
- If yes then likely you're seeing bad encode videos that were uploaded, that making you think there a problem.
- If no, and happening in games, and etc as well, then are you overclocking? Did ensure cable not loose, or check to ensure the display not the problem?
