Question Artifacts, but only during boot ?

[cano98]

Hey everyone,

I've been encountering an issue when starting up my PC, and I'm hoping someone here can offer some insight. Sometimes, when I power on my PC, I notice these unusual red and green pixels appearing on my monitor. Some of them stay static, while others blink, and this only happens during the NZXT boot-up screen.

Here is a video of the artifacts:

What's really puzzling is that this problem doesn't occur every time. It's sporadic at best. And here's the kicker – once Windows is loaded, there are absolutely no problems whatsoever. Gaming, regular use, everything is perfectly fine.

I've gone the extra mile to troubleshoot this. I've tried different cables, even switched to another monitor, and I've even reinstalled Windows, but the issue persists.

Here are my PC specs:
- Motherboard: NZXT N7 B650E
- GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 Aero OC
- Monitor: Samsung The Space 27
- OS: Windows 11
- CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D

Has anyone else encountered this issue or have any ideas on what might be causing it? I'm open to any suggestions or solutions you might have. Thanks in advance for your help!

IF you have one, try a different GPU. If you haven't already try both DP and HDMI as well as different ports on the GPU.

Already tried different ports, same problem. I don‘t have another GPU to test

This is a tough one to solve because if you don't have any other hardware to swap it becomes very difficult to narrow down which component is causing the problem.

Try with integrated graphics.
Remove RTX 4070 from system first.

I've downloaded the BIOS update from the Gigabyte website, and there are two .exe files: one for "Silent BIOS" and one for "OC BIOS." I couldn't find any instructions online. Do you happen to know what version I should install?

I'd install the OC BIOS.
