  1. Please tell me this is a driver thing. Glitches on the desktop on my lviing-room PC, starting right after the GeForce Quadro Graphics Driver update:

    gpu artifacts

    the card isn't new but it's never shown anything like this before. temperatures look normal. I've tried a different cable and the artifacts are the same. I'd like to know what to test before I convince myself it's dead. I also do some photo work on the living-room PC, so I really need to know whether I can trust what I see on screen right now.

  4. yeahhh your BIOS observation is a good clue... if artifacts appear only after Windows loads teh driver, but not in BIOS or in Safe Mode (which uses the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter), that leans twoards driver/software. if they show up in BIOS too, think hardware. lmk how it goes
