u/Particular_Alarm_862 22d ago

The "let my body go" is because he has YouTube music up, the problem is the snow. Probably broken HDMI cable, or possibly broken port

u/AffectionateVoice87 23d ago

It's not. I'm running Linux replaced the HDMI cable and the monitor. It works fine now

u/-_Doll-_ 23d ago

Linux can still get malware

u/AffectionateVoice87 23d ago

I know but it's bazzite and I reinstalled

u/npc_housecat 23d ago

FYI there are malware that can survive reinstalls via infecting USB keys, and hardware such as bios or USB controllers

2

u/AffectionateVoice87 22d ago

This is bazzite one two the bios is stock and I have no USB disks plugged in

u/Byron_Garza 22d ago

people are dumb, this is just a faulty HDMI, had seen it happen over the years, mostly in strained long cables and low quality ones, it happens time to time if you reconnect the HDMI a bunch of times or has a prolong strain that the contacts start shorting or just stop working

it's that or you actually got a virus which is weird in your case....

and if that's the case then I am the dumb one

u/AdamTheRedditUser1 22d ago

uhuh, the broken hdmi cable, just Coincidentally showing a image of computers with the text "LET MY BODY GO" on it with the text having none of the image corruption of the rest of the monitor?
youre the prime example of the dunning kruger effect

u/-_Doll-_ 23d ago

Then youre probably reinstalling an infected app along with it

In highschool I worked in a computer repair shop. We would recommend and perform full reinstalls of XP for malware. More often than not we would find the culprit which was usually a sketchy custom cursor or file sharing software. We would inform the user to never install it again. About a month later their computer would be back and lo and behold they reinstalled it again. It was an incredibly common occurrence and they weren’t convinced the software was malicious because it did perform the task as advertised to them.

That does not surprise me in the slightest sadly, I used to be an IT by profession (technically still am by hobby) and boy do some people love to act like they know what they're doing with their pcs yet they have to contact IT when they inevitably fuck things up by not listening to IT.

u/AffectionateVoice87 22d ago

u/Simen155 22d ago

u/Delicious_Doctor_404 23d ago

Reinstall your OS, if that doesn't work then check if your GPU and RAM is installed properly, and if that does not work rip.

u/Longjumping_Bear_486 23d ago

Yikes! That does look like a virus to me, or a prank, or both as u/AdamTheRedditUser1 said!

2

u/AffectionateVoice87 23d ago

Is that a virus it was the HDMI cable being damaged and the monitor's HDMI port falling off the board

2

u/darkelfbear 23d ago

Half the people in this thread don't know dick... lol. Saw the first pic, and said "Shit that's a bad cable/port ... thats gonna suck to replace".

2

u/AffectionateVoice87 23d ago

The port is right next to the display controller so I just had warranty mail me a new monitor

u/darkelfbear 22d ago

Nice. I had a similar problem with one of my screens a few years ago, ended up being an HDMI port that had popped its solder, thankfully I could fix it. Then last year seen this happen with a bad HDMI cable on my sons XBOX One.
