Question Multicolored dots appear when playing games and crashes it

[MikeleSay]

Recently, I installed an AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE ,powercolor fighter and it was working pretty great for a couple months. But then, a couple of days ago, I started seeing these strange dots while playing as well as some tearing while playing Elden ring. Also, whenever I try to start up Monster Hunter Wilds it crashes before I can even get to the tittle screen. Also, when I recently got peak it would just close my game randomly. However, for Elden ring the game doesn't crash, or anything just get multicolored dots mainly.

I have these in my computer:
- AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
- 32 GB corsair (2 ram sticks)
- Toughpower GF A3 850W
- PRO B650-S WIFI
- windows 11

I have already deleted the old drivers and downloaded the new ones (Adrenalin 25.6.1 ) and didn't fix the problem. But anyway wanted to see what you think the problem could be.

Overheating or damaged graphics card (most likely).
Check temperatures. Improve cooling. Lower power target for graphics card (use MSI afterburner for this).
If that doesn't help, then damage is permanent.

Look in Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer for any error codes, warnings, or informational enteries being logged just before or at the times the strange dots appeared.

Here are the videos of MHW and ER
Also lowered the temp but still no change I have warranty on gpu thou at least

The only thing was a LiveKernelEvent
Also temps are fine when I play games

Is there a specific code number?

How old is the PSU? History of heavy gaming use?

Reinstall the previous GPU driver version. Download directly from the manufacturer, manually install and configure. No third party tools or installers.

= = = =

Run "dism" and "sfc /scannow".

= = = =

Power down unplug, open the case.

Clean out dust and debris.

Verify by sight and feel that all connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers, and case connections are fully and firmly in place.

Use a bright flashlight to inspect for damages: bare conductor showing, melted insulation, kinked or pinched wires/hoses, corrosion, browned or blackened components, swollen components, signs of moisture, cracks, loose or missing screws, sagging supports, cables astray, and so forth.

And as always, ensure that all important data is backed up at least 2 x to locations away from the system in question. Verify that the backups are recoverable and readable.

Age means nothing. Hardware could die from infant mortality.

Any problems in safe mode?

Game source(s)

Do you have access to another known working PSU that can be swapped in? (Remember to use only the cables that come with the swapped in PSU.)

nope no extra psu sadly and could you elaborate on problems in safe mode

Safe mode - start here:

https://www.tomsguide.com/how-to/how-to-boot-into-windows-10-safe-mode

Then do some additional safe mode searches based on Windows 11 and your currrent installed components.

Be wary of any links that offer downloads, registry edts, etc., that they claim will solve the problem.

The objective simply being to discover possible causes for the dots appearing.

I know how to get to safe mode but not what to do once there I've been there before for changing the drivers for my gpu

Do the multicolored dots appear in safe mode?

no only when playing games dots appear but only when demanding games like elden ring and such

Open Resource Monitor as admin.

Leave the window open and viewable and simply watch what is happening with regards to system resources.

Then methodically do other things one at a time up to and including game playing. Play "non-demanding" games first then "demanding games". Watch for differences related to when the dots appear.

The objective simply being able to look for what changes if and when the colored dots start appearing.

Begin with the Resource Monitor Overview tab and then move to individual tabs as a means to (hopefully) narrow down the source of the problem.

Take your time, be methodical. Do not expect any immediate indications - it may take a bit of time for some issue to actually manifest itself.

Likely a matter of some trial and error process to get a sense of it all and discover the culprit.

Process Explorer (Microsoft, free) can be used in much the same manner: focus being on some process that starts or stops causing the dots to appear. Not as easy or as straightforward when compared to other tools but may help discover some faltering process.
