G53SW Screen issue

Ok, I've been getting this already 3 times today. Every time I play a game, after a certain point, I start to get like green lines all over everything. I don't know what's causing it and now I'm starting to get worried. Does anyone know what may be causing this?

 

have you overclocked your GPU? I think that happened to me a couple times when mine was way OC'ed. Also have you checked your temps?

 

I have but my clocks aren't as high as what I see other people posting.
Core 795 MHz
Shader 1590 MHz
Memory 1415 MHz
It usually goes up to 80-85 C. ThrottleStop said there was a peak up to 92 C.

 

It just happened again and this time my GPU peaked at 87 C. When I closed the game, after about 10 seconds, they screen came back to normal. Anyone else with suggestions? :/

 

my gpu reaches 93c with the clocks you see in my signature.

i never experianced any problems at all.

i think it is a driver issue ? try reinstalling your drivers, and use driver sweeper in safe mode, and then uninstall reg files useing driver sweeper and then install the latest driver from nvidia website......

 

Well I re-installed it, and it was doing good, but then it happened to me again today. =(

 

artifacts at thermal point, reduce overclock slightly and stress, and if the issue recurs, reduce overclock slightly and stress ... until it stops happening or you are back at stock clocks. if it continues even at stock clocks, you have three possibilities:
1- your hardware is low tolerance or was mildly damaged during previous overclocking attempts and has become very temperature sensitive.
2-your cooling needs a boost- clean out vents, lower ambient temp with ac, maybe check thermal paste and heat pipe/spreader seating.
3-your software(read drivers) have somehow become corrupted, you can try reinstalling clean, but lets face it, you weren't goofing with the drivers to cause the problem, your odds of fixing it this way are low.

have a g53sw-a1 i recently acquired that does some craziness like this as well, never overclocked, and usually while sitting at the desktop, watching something in vlc, or browsing the web, but is stock solid in 3d games.
i know its a hardware issue as it's occured in a linux liveboot distro, and inside expressgate. it just seems to hate the lower power and clock states( the 50mhz core, and 240mhz core states, as opposed to the 3d state at 675mhz core). its going back for repair via rma in a day or two.

not all chips are equal. if it works flawlessly at stock settings then you are stuck. if it doesn't work at stock settings you get to mail it off and gamble on getting one with wider tolerances, close to stock tolerance.

also eXpert: your gpu reaches 93C with those clocks running what at what settings after what duration? g553sw-a1 here hits 96C in 640x480 noaa furmark after 9 minutes on the stock clocks for example. (irony its stable doing that but not at idle. sigh, too hot in any case when under load). (12gb ram here, sw so i72630qm, stock wireless but disabled manually). we ought to run cooler then the jw series in theory. sigh.

 

I'm topping 85c with 835/1670/1600 with 1v modded vbios.
87c/93c at 795mhz/814 is too high.
Better you two dust out the laptop with compressed air, shoot at the vents and the bottom as well, maybe something is clogging the ventilation.

 

green lines!!! ive experienced that before. but it wasnt something in the software.. i was holding my laptop improperly and was slightly pushing up the removable cover below the laptop.. then green and purple line lines started to appear out of nowhere. . . maybe i pushed too hard and caused some circuits to touch but a few SMALL and EASY tapos on the side of my laptop and it went back to normal. i dont know if its the same thing with you but yeah... green lines.. maybe we experienced the same thing..

 

Yea thats what I get, I tried tapping, but not much happens. I played BC2 and didn't get this problem. Also, won't opening my laptop and replacing the paste void my warranty?

 

repaste does void your warranty if you repaste the processor.. but i dont know about the GPU.. i didnt see any warrranty stickers.. and try tapping for other angles or other parts.. just dont hit it to hard.. to the people who disapprove of this "CAVEMAN" method, dont get angry at me with this but yeah it kinda worked for me..

 

Opening the chassis voids it, but if we can't tell, and you don't tell us... -shrugs-

 

Hmm, my new Asus g53SW behaves the same. It is very sensitive as it is turning green (only black color seems to be affected - turns into flashing green) at 50Celcius. I overclocked it slightly in the past (from 675 to 750...) but now it's nto overclocked and behaves like that all the time. Funny thing It goes away If I play with the display a bit like apply some pressure or things like that... Is there any cure or should I just go to the asus point in New York and drop it off...

 

did a repaste. dunno what i did but the green lines are gone. tried holding it improperly like before but this time no green and purple lines appeared.. maybe its the same with you

 

You should have it looked at.
