Windows 10: Weird second monitor glitch - horizontal multicolored lines

Since yesterday, whenever I start my computer, my second monitor shows horizontal glitched-like lines at the top. I'm pretty sure the day before, I did an update.



It's not constant. It goes away and comes back every 1.5 seconds. It also does like if my monitor got punched - the image isn't still, and seems to drop down.

I tried to replug the cables. Now, it stops and goes back to normal after 3 to 5 minutes.

Do you think it's hardware related? Or could it be an issue from Windows 10?

I will have to do further testing such as switching HDMI cables, and switch the screen's HDMI's etc..

Monitor has horizontal & vertical lines

Hi,

I am unable to see anything on my monitor except for horizontal and veritical lines. This computer is brand new, has worked for a month. I think it's related to the connection from the monitor to the laptop as when I push on the monitor I was able to see
a little the other day. I'm unsuccessful in seeing anything now. I've tried to to restart, I've removed the battery. any other suggestions or do I need a technican?

thanks,

Weird graphical text editor glitch in a dual monitor setup on windows 10

My dearest superusers,

I have a very weird graphics 'glitch' for certain IDE's or editors, like TexStudio and Spyder. It happens that certain lines or words overlap with each other, and sometimes certain lines have different fontsizes even (not shown in next image)

Screenshot for one example of overlapping words:




It happens usually in my secondary monitor (LG Flatron E2350V), but if I remember correctly, it had appeared on my primary as well. My primary is just the one of my laptop (HP Pavilion - 14-al125nd). What I have noticed (from what I remember) is:

• When the problem appeared in Spyder in primary monitor, it was
  sometimes solved by saving the python file
  
• When the problem appeard in Spyder in secondary monitor, it was
  sometimes solved by maximizing the window.
  
• And at times none of the above methods worked for no monitor.
  
• When I drag one of the text environments (texStudio or Spyder) from monitor 1 to monitor 2, the text transitions into the glitched version.
  
• Also,some IDEs like Matlab, never experienced this problem. (And till now, I have never seen the problem elsewhere
  
• As far as I know, these two programs are the only ones where the glitch appeared.
  
• Lately, the problem does not appear in first monitor, but it still does in second one.
  

This suggests that the problem is time-varying and possibly also varies in its characteristcs.

To solve the problem, I've tried to:

• update to latests graphics drivers, both my integraded Intel card (HD
  Graphics 620), as well as my dedicated Nvdia GeFore 940MX card.
  
• Otherwise I've tried to search online but frankly, I do not really
  know the right search terms to find the same problem. Therefore I
  hope to find some answers or suggestions on this site!
  

Just to be clear, my question is what causes and/or what can potentially solve the problem?
Of course I do not know what information could be used/required to answer this question, so if there are any questions of additional details that I did not mention, please ask.

Sidenote: I am not sure whether my tags are correct either. Feedback is appreciated.

 

Dual Screen horizontal lines and tearing.

Hello All

I have a dual screen setup, with my desktop extended to a second monitor. A week or so after updating windows 10 with the creators update my dual screen set up is experiencing a large horizontal line traveling up one of my displays with shaking below. I have attached an image.




This first happened on my primary display (29" Asus connect with display port). After rebooting the tearing then moved over to my secondary display where it has remained for the last week intermittently. (Samsung 22" connected with a VGA to DVI adapter). Both Monitors are connected to my ATI R9 270.

I have ruled out the display hardware as this issue goes away in safe mode. If I set my computer to only use one display either the 22" or 29", the issue is gone. I have also connected to another computer (mac book pro) and the tearing does not persist.

Other things I have tried:

• Reboot
• Shut down
• Pulled power cords from monitors and pc for 30 minutes
• Update graphics card driver
• Reinstall graphic card driver
• Try different connectors
• Uninstall display device in hardware manager

Any and all help is appreciated as this one is really driving my nuts!
