Installing the chipset driver is generally optional for now, but if you want to, setting that up is pretty easy. Edit a snype in a HOTS thread

down1nit posted:Get yourself in troubleshooting mode lol So it just hasn’t crashed again yet. I’m not sure if it’s something I did resolved it, or it’s just not hit the same circumstances again yet? Hard to troubleshoot. The other computer was hard crashing pretty constantly, although I think that really was the bad videocard MSI sent me through RMA. That card was just fully cooked. down1nit posted:Speakers are fine. Ear health is a treasure. It is more too late for me than you could imagine sadly.

I guess a followup for maybe even a little closure of some kind. I got the same black rectangles screen glitch on the brand new computer recently. Google never really gave me conclusive answers to why it was happening, with most of the results pointing to gpu failure. There were however some people saying it was from Chrome using hardware acceleration. I had switched to firefox which didn’t resolve the issue, and after RMAing my video card, then having to RMA it again after they sent me a turd, I gave up and blew all my savings on a new computer. Since I got the same issue on the new hardware, I switched back to trying to find a software cause. A friend asked me what programs I was using in common with the last computer. I still haven’t put too much on it yet so I narrowed it down to either discord or sharex. Not entirely ruling out sharex, but it turns out discord has hardware acceleration on by default and it supposedly is chromium based. I switched it off and it hasn’t happened again since. I’m still on watch but I think that was likely it. I don’t quite understand though. It feels like it should be more widespread of a problem if it’s just because of chrome and discord, two very widely used programs. I’m skeptical but the common thread seems to have mostly been while video was playing in chrome and streams/picture in picture video was playing on discord now that I can look back and reflect. I always had at least a browser or discord open on my second monitor. Anyways, shame it went the way it did and I had to waste a load of money and deal with probably the worst RMA service I’ve ever encountered. The card I RMA’d was likely fine, replaced with a completely cooked one, and then a filthy one with rattling fans. I never get away without maximum suffering but at least this is probably resolved now though?
