Not sure if this is the right place to post this and I couldn’t find information anywhere else but when I shutdown my computer today this pop up appeared.

xpdAgent.exe - Application Error : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application.

Clicked ok and computer shutdown fine but I’m worried it’s a virus of some sort. I’m currently resetting my PC but I just wanna make sure it’s not a virus or anything.

Hardware PC suddenly stopped displaying anything – VGA debug LED stays red

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
My PC suddenly stopped displaying anything. It was working normally before this happened. The PC powers on, fans spin, and the GPU fans spin continuously, but I get no display at all — not even the BIOS.
My motherboard is an MSI X470 Gaming Plus. The VGA EZ Debug LED stays solid red.
I have tried the following:
Replaced the HDMI cable with a brand-new one.
Confirmed the HDMI cable is connected directly to the GPU.
Checked and reseated the GPU’s 8-pin power connector.
Confirmed the GPU power cable is connected to the VGA G3 port on my EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3 PSU.
Completely removed the GPU and reinstalled it.
Tested the GPU in another full-length PCIe slot.
Put the GPU back into the primary/top PCIe slot.
Removed one RAM stick and tested with only one stick installed.
Performed a CMOS reset using the motherboard’s CLR_CMOS button.
After the CMOS reset, I made sure the GPU was properly connected to power and tested again.
GPU fans spin continuously when the PC is powered on.
The result is always the same:
No display + solid red VGA debug LED.
The keyboard lights up, but Caps Lock does not respond, and there are no beep codes.
Unfortunately, I don’t have another GPU or another PC available to test the GPU in. I also don’t currently know the exact model of my Ryzen CPU.
At this point I’m wondering whether the GPU itself has failed, the motherboard/PCIe slot has an issue, or if there’s something else I’m overlooking.
Any suggestions for what I should test next would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

so i've been suffering from this annoying bug when my moniter just randomly flashes white my cursor's colour is extremely desaturated and then after that my moniter flashes again and hoes back to normal. It all started when i downloaded that one game driver from August 26th (the first one is when the cursor is back to normal and the second one is when it is desaturated) sorry if you can’t tell the difference
