Question Sudden artifacting, please help

[ZectorV1]

This is a very recent problem, like within the last two weeks. The left side of the screen will occasionally have black artifacting. The thing that makes this hard for me to figure out is that it doesn't appear to be influenced by load at all? Its happened most frequently watching YouTube videos or sitting on discord but tabbing to another window, and sometimes just moving the mouse, is enough for them to dissappear. It hasn't happened a single time when im playing games and i play a lot of very intensive games. The only thing i can think of game related is occasional stuttering (like single stops then resume) when a bunch of crap is happening. Unsure if that's hardware or internet though.

Anyway im completely stumped.
Here's my setup

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Have you tried working with another PSU? What OS are you on?

You have the wrong cooler for the processor in your build. You would need a 240mm AIO at the very least or a really beefy air cooler.

Once you solve that, check to see what BIOS version you're on. Use DDU to remove all GPU drivers from your platform, then manually reinstall with the latest GPU drivers from Nvidia's support site, in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator. If you're on Windows OS.

Thanks, it seemed pretty helpful.
First want to note its been running this way without issue for a little over a year. Last upgrade was the gpu and psu. Havnt tried a new psu since it started though.
Im on windows 10.

Ill check what bios version im on, i did update it before upgrading my new cpu to support it though

Ill try manually removing the drivers when im back from work.

The cpu and cooler ive been using together for quite a long time(3 or 4 years?) without issue, but I was completely unaware my cooler wasnt up to snuff. Ill for sure tackle that as soon as i can regardless.

Will report back with driver tinkering later o7

have you tried an alternate input and alternate input types and slots? I've had times where what appears to be artifacting is caused by a faulty video cable or a bad video port on the card; if you are using displayport try another displayport cable or hdmi for example

Ive ordered some new cables already, im hoping that will work as its the cheap option

Do you have a warranty on the card?

Do you have a warranty on the card?

I dont really know to be honest. Id have to check. I dont remember specifically paying for one though

This sounds like the black checkerboarding bug that has just been fixed in Windows Canary and Beta rings.

Checkerboarding is a good description. Havnt heard of this

Bios version is 2503

Issue has been around since late 2019 but wasn't too visible until late 2020 and on, nvidia got a lot of crap for it because its on nvidia parts that the issue is high profile, its worsened more since chromium devs went and used directcomposition for more and more aspects of the canvas renderering.

Nvidia and user confirmation indicates that the issue is resolved in Canary and the current testing ring for the 23h2 feature adds in 22365 branch, Release is currently 22631/22621, so it should be fixed march or may there.
