Hey guys, thank you in advance🙏
Laptop:
Acer Predator 17x,
Specs:
i7-7820hq,
Gtx 1080, dedicated card no integrated
32gb Ram,
512gb ssd raid, 1Tb hdd
4k display 17" inch
Windows 10 shipped
My problem is in the title.
Description is:
Complete effed up display all artefacting and weird, sometimes flickering white lines sometimes all solid white or some other color. This happens when playing any resource intensive game obviously 🙄 all games are resource intensive. When it happens is completely random but now happens early like within 5 minutes. So the display will be as described but the audio of the game still works and seems to be on a loop. No button no ctrl-alt-delete no nothing will work and only solution is to power down the laptop by holding down its main button.
Chronology:
The problem surface around November 2019 and I scoured every forum and applied nearly everything previously worked for people but nothing worked, not even a complete windows reinstall and all drivers rolled back or not. Only happens during gaming and not anything else, not during all kinds of stress tests/benchmarking and not videos and browsing and neither daz studio.
And then my corsair keyboard k95 and Asus monitor pg279q arrived which i had ordered before the problem surfaced. The weirdest thing for me in troubleshooting this particular problem is that it Stopped when i connected the laptop via display port to the monitor. Henceforth, no issues have arisen and none shall arise i know when I connect my laptop to this setup. It was a magical fix I almost forgot any problem existed in the first place. No matter how much temps skyrocketed never an issue.
Ok so a couple days ago I had to go to my house in another city but couldn't bring my keyboard monitor with me.
Now I am here trying to game on my laptop alone and this problem has resurfaced.
I think it has something to do with some circuit shorted in the screen of my laptop because what else can it be, if the graphics card was faulty there would be no way it would work butter smooth through display port. Ok, so with this in mind I connected my laptop to the tv in this house through Hdmi. But nope it white screen of deathed still.
A couple solutions i have implemented so far are disabling Nvidia audio driver, uninstalling rivatuner, updating all sortsa drivers with Iobits Driver Booster, (Bios was already updated to latest). So far nothing has worked.
I am truly perplexed as to what the hell the core issue might be, why it fixes itself with display port to monitor but Not with the hdmi to the TV.
And most importantly why it happens in the first place
Maybe you guys can figure something out.
