Question New system buggy

[Avery Powell]

I just built my first pc and I'm running into a bit of a problem. I started to experience weird graphical glitches similar to this https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/top-left-glitch-flickering.2122176/ during the game launch. I first started experiencing it when I loaded GTA V. This was also accompanied by a constant clicking in the audio, mainly from the left side. I now hear the audio clicking anytime something happens on screen (like scrolling through a web page, and playing other games) I haven't seen the first glitch since yesterday, but I am seeing lines occasionally flicker across the screen. I tryed to ddu my graphics driver and do a clean install, but it keeps happening

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Motherboard: MSI B450-A PRO
Memory: Team T-Force Vulcan 16 GB
Storage: Crucial P1 500 GB
Video Card: ASRock Radeon RX 5700
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA P2 650 W 80+ Platinum
Also a usb audio interface

Have you checked for any yellow warning signs in Device Manager?

No I haven't, what am I looking for?

Edit: I also just got BSOD trying to run csgo: kernel security check failure

The Device Manager will give a list of all the devices in your computer. If any devices have a yellow warning sign over it, there is a problem.

Does your motherboard have the latest BIOS update?

 

[Avery Powell]

Yes, I had to flash it when I built the system in order for it to work with the zen 2 processor

Have you tried unplugging the USB audio interface to see if the graphical glitches go away?

Yeah I just unplugged it and restarted, but no luck

Check if all your Display Settings are correct.

What is a Monitor's Refresh Rate and How Do I Change It?

A refresh rate is the number of times your monitor updates with new images each second.

It is some help, using the intigrated sound works fine but the usb interface is wonky. Im moreso concerned about the graphical glitching. My display settings should be fine

 

[rocktalkrock]

I am going under the assumption that the video and audio glitches are connected. The only thing out of the ordinary in your system is the USB audio. What model is your monitor? Can you switch from HDMI to DVI or just try a different HDMI cable?

 

[Avery Powell]

It's an LG ultrawide. I'm using display port, the monitor was working fine for my other system, and I only experience the issue while playing games

Are your Power Options set to High Performance? I don't know what else to suggest. What your describing sounds more like a driver issue to me.

You might be lagging due to your sound solution; try uninstalling any USB sound, and run integrated sound to see if all is well...

As to the root cause of the USB sound solution not keeping up with game 'X" within WIn10, who knows....

(you could experiment with which type of USB port you are connected to, maybe some suffer from inherent latency issues depending on whether USB2.0 or 3.0, etc... (no certainty at all that 3.0 compatible ports will work 'better', despite it seeming so)

They weren't but changing them to high performance didn't fix the issue

thanks for the response. I tried uninstalling the usb audio driver without luck, and I just tried using hdmi instead of display port with no luck
