Hi I did do a post about a week ago;But got no help. so I thought maybe I posted in the wrong department.
OK I have this problem. it started with my GTX 450 so I thought OK my cad as blown, so I took it back. In the mean time I used my GT 8800.

then it started again, so I got my new card the GTX 460 SE & still the same my screen as blank patches rendering on her & program pages don't open correctly, like it's page-file or something but I looked & that's OK. so I thought it may be my Drivers. so i changed & did totally clean installs, with no luck, all the same.So then i thought it was my Intel E6500 Processor Bottle necking my RAM & card.the am in Kingston 1333Mhz Lo profile 4GB 2x2GB.
ok so here is the problem

Thanks

Aye, would you be able to repost the picture in full resolution, we can't really see them at the moment?

Also, would you be able to fully list all your PC specs (especially the make and model of your PSU)?


Edit: after reading your other thread quickly, can I ask, have you fully stress tested your CPU (running Prime95 for 6 hours ) and have tried fully re-installing windows?

When you re-install windows I would suggest installing the 64 bit version if you have a disk to hand - as you won't be able to access all your RAM with the 32bit version.

If your PSU is an OCZ StealthXtreme2 700W then that should be fine for your system so long as it working correctly.

Yea, those screen shots are only around 706 x 460 resolution, so we can't see what your problem is (Unless ofcourse that is what your problem is).

This is what we see:

May I ask what make and model monitor you are using?

lol yes that's what see or what i don't see. lol OK my Model is a DELL 1703 FPs now i must say if i re-log thing are OK but after an hour or running I end up like them shots black blobs

got no red spots or blue on screen films play fine
 
I can kind of see some black dots, but it is really tough to tell what should be there and what shouldn't be there as the screenshot has clearly been heavily compressed.

Would you be able to take another screenshot showing the issue, save it in paint and upload it to imageshack (do not let imageshack resize it) - then post us the link?
 
Still unclear mate.. As asked before what monitor are you using and are you running its native resolution?
 
Its the dell 1703FPS which he is using - so the native resolution should be 1280x1024. In the nvidia control panel, is this the resolution it is set to?

Do those photos represent what you actually see or do they look lower quality and compressed?

Have you tried connecting your graphics card to another monitor (or even a TV with a VGA or HDMI connection) and see if you get the same issue?
 
Hi there
Sorry for the delay mate.
OK the resolution is 1280x1024 in Navida control panel.
So yes that's what I see after about hour at most of playing secondlife. it happens in all programs & web pages. Not tried another Monitor yet. Never thought it would be that as this DELL look pretty new & it only as just started happening.

Could you explain if it is the Monitor why would this be happening now & not a few week ago. you saying have burned it out or been a little to hard on it lol?
thanks again for your time on this matter i will try what you say & get back to you..
i do see top quality & how it should look, it's just when i open pages or programs as there opening this is what i see until there open fully.

PS I see these images when I Maximise & reduce pages as well, it's an interesting thought you have tho. as i have had this screen turned on 24/7 for the last year. not good huh ? lol

Yea, the dell is pretty old (came out in 2003) but that's not neccesarliy the issue. Do you get the same problem when connecting to both the DVI and VGA connections. Also, trying it with another monitor or TV would be a very good test (to see if you see the same issues cropping up).

Looking again at the images you have uploaded, it just looks like you have re-uploaded the original low-quality images from your first post. Would you be able to make new, full-resolution screen shots showing the problem and then upload them to imageshack (without resizing them)? As at the moment we still can't see the full extent of the issue as we haven't yet seen a full-quality screenshot of it.

Edit: Can I just confirm that both of the PCI-E 6pin power connectors on your graphics card are connected to your PSU?

Ah, ok - no worries.

Looking at those pictures they seem a bit better quality - looking at them it looks like everything is very blurry (including the text for the desktop icons - to the point that you can't read what they say) and there seem to be error in windows with black and white areas where you would normally expect menus. Is that a fair assessment of the main issue you are having?

To be honest, I haven't seen an error like this before. The first thing I would usually do is check that all the hardware is connected correctly and working as it should, then reinstall windows if that doesn't yield anything.

Would you be able to do a full list of your PC spec (including make and model numbers)?

Also, can you confirm that both PCIE 6pin power connection cables are fully installed in the graphics card?

Also, do you have any alternate monitors to test with (or TVs with VGA or HDMI inputs)?

Finally, would you be able to run a CPU stress tester -like OCCT (for a few hours) and a GPU stress tester - like furmark (for a few minutes) and see if you get any errors?

yes sure mate, I ran all that & posted in my first post, not sure what i did wrong tho to not get any replys. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18270405
Yes Both 6 pin connectors are connected an OCZ power supply 700w, its not letting me post attachments on here tho, it would make it simpler, or am I doing something wrong or missing something lol or i would post all my system info,
I do have another screen witch i will try in an hour when my partner gives me a break lol, Women can be demanding, but cute :)
thank you again

UPDATE

Other screen runs the same
Also i forgot to mention that the text & icons are fine, & clear, it's just the rendering black blogs & missing parts of the windows i get when i open things up.

Ah yes, the reason you probably didn't get any responses was because it was in the memory forum - that sub-forum is much less busy, so less people would have seen the post and far fewer would have a clue how to fix it (at the minute I sure don't, but hopefully we can get to the bottom of it).

You mention you tested the CPU with the Intel processor diagnostic tool . Could you please also run OCCT and furmark tests I mentioned earlier - as these are very different tests to the intel tool.

From the sounds of it you have so far swapped out the memory and graphics card - and done a full reinstall of windows. The only parts left to test are the Hard disk, motherboard and CPU. Do you have another hard disk you can install windows on to see if you can eliminate the HDD as the cause?

Click to expand...

Ok, so we can discount the monitor as part of the problem.

If the text is fine then that images you uploaded in this post have serious issues as you can't read what the text says under the desktop icons - I was thinking this was part of your problem. Would you be able to upload a new image showing the problem ocurring but in full resolution and without the compression?

Yes sure I'll do that, I have to run a few thing first to get the problem to happen again, as as it is now, it's not as bad, but still it's not right,Windows & pages still open in random blocks {i call it}, I also thought it may of been an heat issue but as you can see the test show that's fine. that's why i thought OK mhmm maybe my memory timing are wrong & my E6500 is bottle necking my RAM & card, BUT i must lol mention the HDD is also brand new 2 week old as i also thought it was that 500GB seagate Barracuda. the MOBO is a G41M-COMBO by Gigabyte also new only 3 month old, i even flashed & updated the BIOS still the same, so ok the CPU is 6 month old maybe i over-clocked it to much? mhmm
Ok so I'll redo the Photo's & how can i get an attachment to you with all my System info as there is a few pnpdriver error bucketing things on there, i can't upload attachment, Ill try upload in a clean reply after i post this ok.
Thanks again for your time on this matter

here are some new links to the problem[URL="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/861/newshot.jpg/"]http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/861/newshot.jpg/[/URL

[URL="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/15/bloddlinessite.jpg/"]http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/15/bloddlinessite.jpg/[/URL]
This is of how site's open & render http://imageshack.us/f/135/bloddlinessite.jpg/ & then seconds after they open fully they end up like this NORMAL [URL="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/402/whashouldbelike.jpg/"]http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/402/whashouldbelike.jpg/[/URL]
these Image's only stay for a few seconds but there a pain in the butt & it slows my Hole system down big-time, It become dam Laggy as soup man.
Am sorry not to sure what I'm doing wrong in the upload of these images, but they are clear, these are set for a 21Inc screen, after you click on them, sorry it's late man, i got to go sleep. am done for tonight,

Ok going to run the OCCT test now for a few hours will return tomorrow if all go's well. Night Guys & take-care .

UPDATE
Ok Hours later & not much sleep. i ran the OCCT test 3 times the first 2 times with errors. then i down clocked my FSB to 333Mhz no errors, But things run worse, {I think i better wait until you guys see the results but there a lot of Images's here}. So How or what is the best way of getting these to you? if you have Skype you could PM me & i could send them Direct or email. or do you want me to upload all of them?
Talk soon
