Hello ive recently upgraded to asus r9280x directcu ii top
and my videos on youtube sometimes are like this
http://
Im pretty sure i have the correct drivers for the gpu. Could it be somethign elsE?
 
Solution
Clean installs shouldn't be required for driver/gpu swaps. It is possible that there are some lingering driver files/registry entries. I would suggest http://www.iobit.com/advanceduninstaller.html which is a full uninstaller and can help remove pesky persistent files. Before giving up and RMAing the gpu I'd suggest uninstalling the drivers completely and starting from scratch :)
Hi there!
Is there supposed to be a link there to a video of what the problem looks like (I think it may be missing 😛 )?

My next question, is there any other strange behavior graphics wise? Games crashing, random blue screens, etc?

Is the problem occurring in one browser or all browsers and do other video sites do the same?


These are some starting questions to narrow down whether its a hardware issue or software. 😀
 
yes type on youtub please "white horizontal lines on LCD tv" , if my link doesnt work.
I cant test if its the same on on other browsers because at the moment it isnt happening.
No blue screens, no game crashes. I got some big screan tearing in my game 2 times and had to restart the game and then it was alright.
I think i saw the lines on other video site as well.
 
I just watched the youtube video. It is the most insane and commonly overlooked item but the cable connecting the pc to the screen. Is it frayed or damaged? are there any "adapters" between the two devices? Those lines look almost like the cable could be bad.
 
Yea! If there are any DVI-HDMI or DVI-VGA adapters between your graphics card and the monitor make sure they are tight and that the cable isn't damaged. It sounds silly but it's happened before 😀
 
Always always always! If there are drivers available on a manufacturer's website they need to be installed. Chipset drivers are a huge player in overall system stability. Leaving the "windows default drivers" is just asking for trouble x)
 
Two last questions please..!because im wasting your time here. i downloaded the chipset drivers, and in the folder thereis a "Setup" with the AMD icon and an "ASetup" with a blue monitor for an icon. I executed the Setup , is that right?
And what about the AMD SATA AHCI Driver and AMD SATA RAID Driver . i update those too ?
