Windows 10: Windows 10 display/GPU issues

I had an issue out of nowhere where small coloured dots appeared on my screen and the game froze no sound either so I had to force quit, but it only happened in one specific game so I didn't really worry about it. The next day, I experienced a similar issue described in this post while sitting on my desktop and couldn't find any other information on it, so I followed the instructions given in the comments and nothing worked. I have updated the drivers for my graphics card and motherboard to the latest version, and when that didn't help I tried an earlier version but now every so often my scr

Issue with black screen, dual display, ATI Integrated GPU

Hi,

I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: I suggest you to go to device manager and disable the display drivers, check whether the issue persists or not.

• Press Windows + X keys and click
  Device manager.
• Click to expand Display adapters, right click the second adapter and click
  Disable.
• Restart the computer and check whether the issue persists or not.
• Repeat the same steps to disable the first display adapter and check if it helps.

If you find the issue is with anyone of the display adapters then, I suggest you to update the display drivers from the manufactures website for Windows 10 and check if it helps.

Method 2: I suggest you to follow the steps form the below article for
“Black Screen” issues and check if it helps.

having issues with multi GPU

I’m trying to offload certain apps to my iGPU on the second screen, using the new graphics settings in the recent win 10 release. the issue is it’s only showing my 1070. lists it as both power saving GPU, and
high performance GPU.

I’ve been fiddling for a while now with no joy, and i’m really hoping one of you guys has an idea they can suggest to sort this!

I can extend onto the second screen no probs with it plugged into the iGPU, but the 1070 is still listed as both power saving GPU and high performance GPU.

Are there requirements for this? certain level of iGPU for it to work?

Thanks

Edit - setting the secondary screen connected to the iGPU to be the "main" display in graphics settings makes my iGPU show as both power saving and high performance GPU, I just can't seem to get them
to be one and not the other.

 

Windows 7 + GPU-Z size issue

It should be noted that w1zzard is aware of this issue, what we want is more people with the same problem to come forward and report any information they can.

Problem: GPU-Z is too big.





Thats my GPU-Z on the right, sitting on top of a browser window (the GPU-Z page) showing the size difference.


How to reproduce it:

1. Must be running windows 7
2. Must be on a high resolution display (1080p and above?)
3. windows must DEFAULT you to the following setting of 125%





The exact problem is that when you are defaulted to 125%, everything is made larger.
When you drop to 100%, GPU-Z doesnt drop with it.


This same problem used to occur on CPU-Z as well, screenshot for proof





We just anyone else with this issue to step forward, w1zzards not going to bother fixing it if its just me.


notes:

• if you default to 100%, you can change up and down problem free
• we beleive the default is chosen when you install windows, but we arent sure.
