Hey all,
I have had a issue with color banding for a long time, about a year or two.
It started when I had unparked cores in my cpu on win 7 (stupid me) I would unpark and park to see if its good,i also used a tool that would change RGB limited to full or full to limited. (This was before Nvidia added the option in the control panel which i have done today.)
After that my cpu overheated, and had issues. I would keep playing games while the pc beeped, not for hours but a long time. I noticed some color banding when messing with the RGB tool and unparking cores i believe.
I had my CPU replaced and now its fine.
But I still have color banding!
Its been driving me crazy and at least i can say i learned a lesson to not mess around with stupid tools and what not.
But could it be that my motherboard is to blame?
Maybe because my cpu overheated it burned something in the Motherboard? Something that maybe channels the GPU ?
I am 90% sure my monitor and GPU are not to blame and neither is my monitor because:
1.) I tried my pc on a TV and still got the banding issues, so it can't be my monitor.
2.) I switched the hdmi cables my tv used, to my pc and monitor and still got it, so it can't be because of my hdmi cable.
3.) I disabled my gaming GPU (i have a gtx 770 4gb) from the display manager so my intel hd would work, and my intel hd GPU also had the color banding issue.
4.) I've tried different versions of drivers and have done multiple clean reinstalls of windows since
So could this be because of my motherboard? Or is it a issue with a PSU ?
I remember when i bought my PSU the guy told me i don't need such a high psu but i got one anyways. I have a 750 watt psu .
Anybody know what could be the issue?
