Over the past month or so, while watching videos or scrolling through web pages, i noticed that there was some diagonal screen tearing (Top Left to Bottom Right). I have no idea how this has happened and i can't stop looking at it. Is there any way to fix this? It happens in chrome and firefox.
Do you have the latest driver for that card from Nvidia?
Version: 416.34 WHQL
Release Date: 2018.10.11
If not, I suggest completely uninstalling the ASUS (Nvidia) display drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) from WagnardMobile here: Official Download Here. Do this in Safe Mode. Then get the latest driver for your Nvidia card here: NVIDIA Driver Downloads
Then do a custom install of only the NVidia graphics driver and the PhysX driver. See if that gets rid of the problem.
Sorry for the late reply, i've been busy.
For some reason I am unable to boot into safe mode. I hold shift and click restart, startup settings etc.
But when I press 4 on the keyboard, nothing happens. The mouse still moves so the PC is still responding.
Could I use this trick without safe mode, or if not. How can I get into safe mode some other way.
First thing to do is try a different keyboard. Otherwise, see this tutorial: How to Start Windows 10 in Safe Mode
Thanks, managed to get into safe mode using this method.
Completely uninstalled all drivers, reinstalled them (Just the Graphics and PhysX drivers) and the problem persists.
Is there something i've missed or is there another way I can solve this?
Can you post a screen capture of the entire screen when this is happening? Use the Print Screen key then paste it into Paint or Paint 3D. Save as a jpg to your Desktop then upload it here so we can see it.
Do you see any screen tearing in the BIOS screen (no complex drivers loaded)? I had this problem visible in the BIOS screen - it turned out the GPU was faulty and had to be replaced.

afterwards, remove check from box to boot normal.
