Hi

My new PC came yesterday, thank you, but I'm getting graphical artifacting and shut downs as soon as it turns on.Is it recommended to wait till tomorrow or are there things that I can try beforehand. Thank you

Display Driver Uninstaller

:one: Download the driver for your GPU from the manufacturer's website using the links below, but don't install them yet.
:two: Download the latest version of DDU by clicking the button below, clicking on the top post which is called "Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) VXX.X.X.X Released", and clicking ***Official Download Here*** in that post.
:three: Disconnect from the Internet by unplugging your ethernet cable or turning off WiFi in the bottom-right corner.
:four: Open the program you just downloaded, choose a location for DDU to be saved, then click Extract
:five: Open the Start Menu, click the power icon then hold Shift on your keyboard and click Restart. Once your PC has restarted, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart, and press 4 to load into safe mode.
:six: Find the folder you extracted DDU into and open Display Driver Uninstaller.
:seven: On the right side, select the type as GPU, and the brand as the manufacturer of your GPU. Then, click 'Clean and Restart'.
:eight: Once you have loaded back into Windows, install the GPU drivers you downloaded earlier. Once they have installed, connect back to the Internet.

Try a DDU see if it helps if not it could be faulty GPU

If it is a faulty GPU, can always try onboard graphics if the CPU supports it

Monitor Cables

If you have a discrete GPU then you need to plug your monitor cable into the graphics card, not the motherboard. This can be found on the Quick Start Guide which was emailed to you, or you can download it with the /tag guide command.

#

Just double checking too,

#

Are you plugged into the graphics card?

#

If you install the graphic drivers using that website

#

if you haven't already done that

#

Once the drivers are installed, you would right click on the desktop, Display Settings

#

and then scroll down to Display Resolution, and set it to your monitor's resolution

#

Just realised, it would've booted into that resolution because of safe mode

#

Just checking you followed all the steps before the graphic drivers, yeah?

#

Adrenaline says that the display drivers are up to date, but the monitor is connected to the microsoft basic display and wont allow display resolution to display. Ah well, thank you for trying

Yes, to the best of my knowledge

tardy oxide
#

Hmmm

spiral lake
#

Graphics card RGB is on, connections seem solid

tardy oxide
#

@opaque void save us, What do you think? Done DDU and he can only get Microsoft basic display adapter

#

after installing drivers

#

You would only really get the basic display adapter if there was no other drivers installed

opaque void
#

Ok, so the GPU works?

#

A DDU and only Microsoft display driver, and while connected to the internet, no windows auto driver?

#

I don't think it's adrenaline doing this otherwise windows would of done something

tardy oxide
#

The GPU sounds like its giving a display, but the only display driver that is available is the basic windows

#

which is wha

spiral lake
#

Sorry to be a pain, but would a full system reset then updating the drivers help?

opaque void
#

Oh huh?

#

It's up to date?

#

Show me

spiral lake
#

hERE YOU GO

opaque void
#

Don't do a shutdown

opaque void
spiral lake
#

Yes, adrenaline says its up to date

opaque void
#

Restart time

spiral lake
#

Still no joy I'm afraid. Display still connected to Basic Display Driver and

#

I'll try the process listed above again later. Thank you for your help and I am sorry to have taken up your time 😔

tardy oxide
#

Don't worry about it, that's what we're here for, its community support 🙂

opaque void
#

I maybe have something you can try

#

In adrenaline just reinstall the driver again

#

Really odd it won't stick

spiral lake
#

Ok, not sure what's going on but when I go into adrenaline and click into the driver's box, it's telling me that my APU is the AMD Radeon integrated graphics. Something must be wrong

opaque void
#

Mmm you were updating the IGPU

#

Uh oh, I think it's a GPU issue fosurse then

It's not the "Message of death" they will sort you out good

#

Many reasons I buy from CPUK, computers are a huge PITA first month in ish

#

If your computer works over a year (that isn't AM5) it's probably good to go

spiral lake
#

Thanks both for your help - have a good weekend

opaque void
#

You too! Email and you will probably send it off Tuesday if you are fast enough kekw /their response times are A tier, it's no different from texting kekdog

Just a courtesy update 🙂. Followed the DDU again and it worked, got Warcraft classic running for a good hour and all seemed ok, but just turned it on again and there's no picture reaching the monitor. P'C looks ace tho so will post a pic. I've emailed Cyberpower, and thanks for your advice
