    Monitor settings


    A couple weeks ago, a monitor settings box started appearing. It would sit in the middle of my screen for a minute or two and then disappear. It did it a couple times a day. Now it has appeared and won't go away.
    Sometimes it's static, and sometimes the icons around the edge light up in fast sequence -- like that old game show with the Whammy. I can't click on any of the icons; the cursor goes behind this window.

    None of the buttons on the monitor has any effect. Everything else is operating normally. I just have to work around a 3x3 blind spot in the middle of my monitor!

    I have Windows 10, and the model number on the monitor is PL1911M, if that matters.

    It has disappeared for the moment, so I can't screenshot it.)

    Thanks.

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Monitor settings

    AMD FX OC'ers Club

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
