Hi, My gigabyte M27Q monitor is artifacting. And I'm pretty sure it's the monitor's problem, since I've tried plugging in both my PC and macbook using both HDMI and DP ports. Does anyone know whether I can fix this myself?

Please see my latest reply. Although we have different CPU, I think your problem can still be CPU since it's one of the last things you haven't swapped out. Just try booting your PC with 1 thread and see if the artifacts will go away.

So I've solved the problem after almost two months of trying different things. It was a CPU defect despite I was able to run Prime95 for 2 hours straight without any issues. For anyone still having the problem, try booting your PC up with only 1 thread first in System Configuration to see if the...

Hello I just secure erased both my SSDs, and installed an older version of Windows 10 (since I suspect the issue might be caused by a Windows update). Unfortunately, I still see the same artifact issue.

I have tried uninstalling the drivers, rolling back the drivers, or DDU several times. None worked for me. I don't have DSR turned on.

Hello, I have two monitors, and the issue occurs on both. So I think it's the PC's issue.

Hello, Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Unfortunately I have to wait a bit before I try to do a fresh os install again, since I have done it twice this month. It took me almost a whole day to reinstall all the things and configure my system, and it has delayed a lot of my works. I looked into...

Does anyone know an easy way to test the PSU? I've looked it up on google, it's all pretty complicated or requires extra physical tools. And I don't want to spent like $150 bucks to buy a new PSU and end up finding out my old PSU is not broken.

Hello, I just finished running a full diagnostic scan on my SATA SSD, and found no error.

Hello, Thank you for your reply. I did run a NVMe test for my boot driver from the BIOS menu yesterday, and found no error. But I'm not sure how do I test my storage SATA SSD.

Hello, So about the browser crashing, it's actually firefox that's crashing. Chrome will throw an STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION error. I also just finished running the 2 tests you mentioned. I posted the result below, and Prime95 didn't detect any error after 15 mins of running.

Thank you for your suggestions. As you previously suggested, I did all of the tests with one monitor. I did tried using only one single stick of RAM for both sticks. I tried fresh windows 10 install (formatted both of my drives) two days ago. The issue is still there.

Hello, I just tried removing the mobo battery for 3 mins, but the issue persists unfortunately. I also tried using the hdmi port (I had been using dp ports), but no luck. I did try run a 32-bit win 10 in Virtual Box for a few minutes, and I think there was no issue at all.

Thank you for the reply. So I am using two monitors, and the artifacts occur on both of them. It also occur on both of my mobo, do you think I should still try resetting the cmos?
