  1. Screen Has Weird Overlay Due To What I Think Was Monitor Failure


    Hello, today I was using my wmr and I had what i think was monitor failure (my laptop screen) as my screen went to a black and white screen. I heard this is caused by high cpu usage, but that isn't my problem. Now when my screen went back to its normal state (wasn't using anything that would up my cpu usage) I can see on my taskbar the applications I was running during the time my laptop screen failed (steam vr, and the mixed reality portal.) I can also see the red bar on my screen that tells me to hold the windows key and press y to switch to my desktop. This is very annoying, any kind of help would be appreciated, thank you!

    :)

    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

    Radeon Overlay not displaying all options

    Ok, I got a question. The options to hide the overlay are confusing. What are the steps to turn on the overlay in-game? Not interested in logging much at the moment. Is Alt-R part of turning it on/off?
