Hello!
A while ago I got this laptop that was given to me by my grandfather that was bought during 2016-17 , he had only used it for light work and never really used the GPUs , once it was given to me , I gave my old Dell prebuilt away since it wasn't not very good for my needs and was perfect for his work , I then had the idea to use my second monitor to use 2 monitors (Laptop screen & Monitor) , I used an HDMI cable as that was my only choice to use the 960M and once I plugged it in to the monitor , no signal , I then went on google to look for some ways to fix it , I updated drivers , used different cables and more . I knew that the issue wasn't coming from my monitor or my cable as I previously used my old desktop PC with a DP cable and my PS4 with the same HDMI cable that I am using on my monitor , after days of looking for the issue and how to fix it , I finally got the idea to lower the resolution down to the minimum and keep going up until it lost signal again , I started from 800x600 and it crashed somewhere near 1280x720 or 1280x800 , now here is the catch , on those resolutions a bunch of random green pixels would appear on my monitor and kind of danced everywhere on my screen , and as I was still messing around with the resolutions I decided to try interlaced resolutions , to my surprise 1080i worked ! But here is another big problem... The green pixels would still appear and on the NVIDIA Control Panel it would appear as 1080i30Hz , but the Hz feel like 60 , the most annoying part is something that really annoys me , let's say I am typing a lot just like in this situation and don't move my cursor for a long time (10-20 minutes) after moving it , the cursor would still appear on the screen kind of like a ghost , just like the mark of a hand staying on your skin for a bit after getting slapped very hard , another example is that I don't use games in full screen a lot so my windows taskbar is always out 24/7 , once I am done with my PC and go to use my PS4 on the same monitor the same effect would happen , task bar would appear for a good 10 minutes in a ghost way and then slowly disappear, and right now I am typing and the website's page would still appear once I move to another app ! So I really need some help as I cannot afford to buy another laptop or even a new desktop PC , here are my specs and everything you probably need to know. If you need to know anything else , reply with what you need and I will reply as soon as possible.
CPU : i7-6700HQ / 12 GB RAM / GPU : GTX 960M 4GB , Intel HD Graphics 530 / Windows 10 Family Edition
Monitor : Dell P2419H / Cable used : HDMI to HDMI
Thank you for your time.
