Howdy! I have a 675m ,this is a new unit about a week old.
The temperatures have never been over 66-69c on any component aside from the PCH (85c, ouch. But apparently thats normal for hm77)
No component has been overclocked, ever.
Occasionaly, while browsing the web for example, i will get odd corruption and artifacts. Whites will have a weird green grid-like pattern, sometimes just lines, sometimes flickering sometimes not. Black on red background will have random bits of red throughout, flickering etc.
the website for the lcd test is- http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/all_tests.php
This/these DOES/do NOT occur:
While gaming
While under heavy stress from benchmarks
After gaming
high temperatures
Instability
BSOD
The clocks of the dGPU seem to be 'ultra low' when this happens, so i assume its using the hd4k when this happens.
Is this a known issues?
has anybody experience this sort of thing before?
dGPU bad vram? or hd4k [cpu] problem?
I thought perhaps a wire for the lcd could have been loosened during shipping, but theres zero movement of the laptop when this occurs.
Really hoping its a known issue, with all the other troubles i have had just GETTING the laptop, id really dislike the idea of having more problems with it already![]()
here is a video i managed to take, though i forgot to take any actual screenshots (will do that when it happens again)
-
I updated bios to a09 (latest avail) and the drivers, hopefully that solves it.

Let us know if that solved it. Also, have you tried an external monitor? Does it happen there?

It's happened again sadly =-/ are there any reported issues with incorrect temperatures being reported? when it happens, it seems to be very 'cold' for being a gpu =-/ (29c this time, reported by MSI afterburner and hwinfo64)
it seems to be when it transitions from IGPU to DGPU, and something gets wonky and 'fixes' itself after a minute or so. guess ill call up AW tech =-/
