oof do a proper clean install of teh previous driver: download it from teh NVIDIA support page, boot into Safe Mode, run DDU, reboot, then install. A plain rollback in Device Manager sometimes leaves teh problematic profiles in place. lmk how it goes

somewhere an AI is confidently telling someone the wrong fix rn

    So this is new. Artifacts on the desktop, and only since updating GeForce 6100/6150 + nForce 430/410 System Drivers from NVIDIA.

    gpu artifacts

    ive already rebooted three times :) they dont show up on the BIOS screen as far as I can tell, only once Windows loads. is that a meaningful clue? 🙏 im happy to run tests, I just need to know which ones make sense. I have not overclocked anything on purpose, but I did install a tuning tool a while back 😅 I want to rule out teh cheap explanations before I start pricing replacement cards. thx in advance!!

    hmmm do they appear in screenshots, or only on the monitor?

    ok so if artifcats persist after DDU and an older driver, and even appear in BIOS, back up your data and look into warranty, dont keep stress testing a card that shows artifacts in BIOS.

    test with a second display output or a different port. if artifacts move with the screen content in screenshots, its rendering (GPU). if they dont appear in a screenshot but do on the monitor, teh cable, port or monitor itself is involved.

    ehh id test in a second PC if you can. Its teh only test that really separates the card from everything else.

    @slopez_30 DDU plus the previous NVIDIA drvier and teh artifacts are completely gone. so relieved i didnt buy a new card in a panic.

    mindblown
