    Hey guys, how are you doing? I've got a small problem with my screen display, a picture worth a thousand words, so here we are:

    [​IMG]

    You see on the black area of this picture, there is much noise of color and I tried to re-install another driver, took apart my computer and check all the screen cable and two gpu was properly plugged in, and you see the temps are ok, but the that's noise is still there, and i'm thinking of bad screen cable, do you have any ideas? thank you in advance!

    PS: that's color noise happened everywhere, in pictures, in games, in movies... thank you!

    Edit: How to make a thumbnail picture, thanks!

    Try recalibrate your RGB LED panel,
    he taking screenshot from print screen key... so i don't think it's dead pixel.
    and what he means was that the color gamut is messed up.

    maybe you rised the Saturation too much and broke the color accuracy
    or the contrast is too high or low ! this is why you can't see clearly what was on the screen

    Check your monitor color > is it 16bit or True color 32bits or maybe your ATI driver caused this.
    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen Resolution > advanced settings > Monitors > True color 32bits

    hit the default button on the desktop color and display color! (CCC)
    see if that can help ..
    if not you need to recalibrate your screen!

    Good luck

    first thanks bro for suggestions but it didn't work at all that way, I will try to recalibrate later and see what's going on, but i'm thinking about the hardware problems( I tried to re-connect the screen cable and now I see the green noise instead of red noise ealier)
