Greetings community,

First off, I would like to describe to you exactly what I've been seeing. I have been seeing colorful dots and crosses and blue boxes in images in firefox and in driver installation advertisements and more.

It is not the monitor cable because I can zoom in on images and see the dots in the same places. The second symptom is that Minecraft crashes when I am in graphically intense areas (such as a jungle where there is much to render).

Now, this is posted in motherboards because I have tried multiple video cards, and have tried re-seating my video cards. Next, I have tried using one RAM stick at a time, and re-seating RAM. All that to no avail leads me to cast my eye on the motherboard.

But I find that in the computing world it can be hard to be sure of too much, so I want to hear your opinions. Also, I have thought about maybe flashing the bios as a possible solution; assuming the problems lie in the motherboard.

Thanks,
Abe

it could be a driver issue, download the latest drivers and download and install driver fusion.

uninstall current driver and do not restart.
run driver fusion and clean the brand of card you have's drivers and restart.
reinstall the latest driver and see if this fixes it.


since it happens between different cards i think it could be driver related, unless its a problem with windows itself.
