Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

After all of this, I went and got yet another monitor, thinking that it might actually be a weird 3 part issue. 1. Drivers causing black screen 2. Monitor ALSO causing black screen and speckles due to failure (or pending failure). The new monitor shows no signs of pixelation or black screens...

Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

I just removed my new SSD, put in one from work, formatted it and clean installed Win10. After the clean install, I simply loaded the 16.7.3 Crimson drivers. The black screen issue is still there. This time it was happening to me in file explorer.

Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

Here's a video of the speckles, just so folks can see what I see. https://youtu.be/UJJUPkSPt3k If I do a screen cap of that area, no speckles. I assume that the screen cap (print screen or snip tool) is using the same data that's coming directly out of the video card frame buffer right? Would...

Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

I'll grab a DVI cable from work today. The weird thing is that I bought a brand new 4k panel and used display port to hook it up. It also had the same issues. (I did try HDMI there too) I returned the new monitor, since it seemed to suffer the same issue and kind of ruled out monitor/cable at...

Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

Gotcha. At least 5 guys at the store were also stumped by this. Makes me feel a bit better that I haven't totally lost my PC chops and that this issue is indeed super weird. haha I'm not unwilling to do a reset, but it's really tough to find the time to focus on it with a four year old running...

Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

The edit was after the comment. Sorry I should have put it at the bottom. The RX480 was completely removed. The speckled type look went away but the dips to black screen remained. I went to the shop and after some diagnosis found that my SSD was failing. We imaged over to a new one, which...

Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

Heya, EDIT: Whoa the black screen is present on the onboard video too! So, the pixelation is gone, but the black screen persists. Now that's really confusing me! @Piroko It's a brand new build in a new case, but the issue followed from the last build. It seems quite unlikely that I'd have a...

Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

Update: It started going to black screen again. Replaced the PSU and it's STILL there. Took the whole box, monitor and cables to the store. It was reproduced there and then they changed the PSU. It seemed to be fixed, but then I brought it home and there come my little speckles. Have yet to have...

Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

Heya, I tried GPU, Monitor, Cable, Ram. I ended up at the local shop, which doesn't happen to me too often! They said the mobo was dying and I ended up getting a new mobo, cpu, ram and case. I haven't seen the black screen issue since booting up the new components, though the speckles are still...

Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

Hi Bacon1, Thanks for the input. When I changed cards, the entire driver suite needed to be uninstalled and replaced, since the older card ran on the previous generation of drivers. That leads me to think it's not the driver. If it's a corrupted OS, is there anything I can do without a clean...

Speckles in Dark Areas & Intermittent Black Screen (SOLVED)

Hey there, I thought I had a failing video card, but I've now replaced my 6970 with an RX480 and still have the same issue. In dark areas on my screen, I sometimes get little pixel speckles and when I'm watching videos (YouTube) or playing games I'll sometimes get a black screen for a couple of...

Catalyst Driver problem from 8.4 on

I looked at the DDC-CI and it was already set to "On". I guess I will turn it off next time I install the 8.5's. I tried the different DVI ports with the same effect each time. My X1900XTX is PCI-E.

Do you find the 7.11 perform better? I've heard that sometimes the older driver versions are better suited to the older cards, but didn't know if there was any stock in that thinking.

I did mess around with those settings, but couldn't affect any change to the display. Perhaps I missed something... I'll give it another shot later today. Thanks for the input so far. Hopefully we can get this licked :)
