colored pixels in UI? - buckfifty - 2013-03-06
Hi, I'm getting this problem recently when I switched to a video card to output to my tv. The xbmc interface gets these pixels but video playback is never affect, just the interface. I was wondering if anyone else encountered this problem and had a fix for it. I enclosed a picture of what it looks like
Thanks

Have you ever seen that artifact in anything else other than XBMC?
I've seen stuff like that before, but with discrete GPU's and it always came back as bad GDDR modules. It seemed only 2D (not DirectDraw) was affected.

Is it only on the TV that you see the issue or can you also get the artifacts when displaying on a regular monitor?
You can try and run some various stress tests on the video card and see if that generates the artifacts as well, in order to pinpoint whether it's an XBMC or GPU issue.

Looks like a gfx card issue, filling up your gfx buffers with any program will have the same results. Try newer drivers.

new drivers didn't help

Try running FurMark or 3DMark and see if you GPU presents any errors. If it does, then it points to hardware issues.
