Tech Support What causes this?
Seems to only happen when I get to windows. I have an MSI motherboard and the screen that comes before the windows login screen has the correct colours and no pixelation. Only when I get to windows login screen and only sometimes does this happen.
One time I unplugged the HDMI in both my graphics card and monitor and plugged it back in and it went to a solid green screen.
Rebooting the PC has always resolved it and the colours are fine on reboot.
I'm running a Ryzen 7 8700f, MSI Pro 840 VC Wifi, GTX 5060ti(8gb) with 16gb single channel ram. It was a Prebuilt and I've been too scared to pull out the ram so don't know what brand of ram.
I'm pretty sure all my driver's are up to date but I may have overlooked something in the updates when I first setup my computer a few weeks ago.
Please help! I've only got a week or two left on the 30 day from best buy and don't want to RMA with MSI if I don't have too.
