Graphical artifacts in certain browsers & players - while not others
Hello, first post, so forgive my indiscretions. I have been having this issue for a couple months now.
First, my laptop is an Aorus X5-CF1. SLI Nvidia 965m. OEM ssd and memory. Latest bios. Latest drivers. Have tried fresh installs of 64-bit LTSB, Pro and Home same thing.
I have zero issues in game once the game gets going. But some screens like the loading of Doom (2016) will do the same as the blotches artifacts etc as in video streaming and players.
I have sent the laptop back to Gigabyte for repair and they sent it back having done 8hr burn tests and cannot reproduce on Windows 8.1. They would not test windows 10 as it was not what the laptop shipped with, even though their website specifically states that it supports windows 10 on this particular laptop. It is still under warranty until 9/22/17. However as you can tell from the screens, I do not believe, and did not initially believe it is a gpu or hardware issue.
Doesn't matter what video or which streaming service. VLC, Firefox and Chrome all exhibit the same problems.
I have tried DDU to clean install the latest and beta nvidia drivers to no avail. Before reinstalling the nvidia driver after a reboot, the issue is still present in any browser or player previously affected. Before rebooting after installing the nividia driver, the issue is present
The preinstalled WMP and Movies app do NOT have the problems that VLC do.
Edge does not show the same problem as FF or Chrome.
I did not catch a screen of it but MPC-HC installed with CCCP bundle shows the same issue as VLC.
I am not sure where to go from here. I have another warranty claim setup that is good for 30 days int he event i want to be out a computer for another week & 1/2 but would rather try and fix something software based than send it off to be told there is not problem.
Any help or things to try is most appreciated.
