Iam Getting Horrible Artifacts Right From The Bootup Skreen, This Is what they Look Like...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeEzrfkBy-A

These Artifakts Are Okkuring On My Both brand New Built PC's Its not The Komponents Bekause I Have Changed Every Single One. I Have Built Many PC's Before But This Is A First That This Is Happening. Only Two Things Remain Eighther The Ampage Fuse in Socket Plug Iam Using To Plug in The Power Supply (PSU) Or The Pegs That GO Between Chasis And Mother Board.

My dear Friends Kan U Not Give Just A Formal Answer, It Means nothing, Do Read What I Asked And Also See That Video And Description, Its Only 40 Secs Long So U Will Understand More Klear. There Is Something A Miss Here. Does Anyone Think that Maybe The Metal Pegs That Are Between The Chasis And Motherboard should Have Those Red Kardboard Rings Between Them And The Motherboard?

are you 11 years old with your fancy 1337 spelling and triple posting.
Show some respect to receive it.
Make a good post to get a quality answer.
Bitching, moaning, and denigrating your audience who you hope to receive an answer from is counter productive

 


also linking to some religious propaganda site in your profile made me delete my helpful answer...

Apparently he has a keyboard problem too. It's missing the letter "c".

I realy dont care for ur attitude, i know that u have had this problem for some time, but still, there is no need for it.

anyhows

have u checked the monitor it is plugged into, it could be the monitor is on its way out or the cable is a problem, either way if all components have been tested or replaced then it just leaves the monitor.

also check to see if the system is neer anything that could interfere with the immage (power cables, power switches and equipment), make sure that there is no interference by putting the system in a closed room without any other equipment around.

good luck

Hes really going to get help with that attitude.

Personally I would plug it in to a normal pc monitor and see if there is a problem there first..

One thing i cant stand is someone who doesnt speak English properly.

My guess is, he's german which would explain the 'k' thing. look, you've been saying not to write things like these and because you did say a lot about it, people are writing such things. I hope you will know now how forum works.
Anyway
I bought an old x850xt pe card which was said to be unchecked. Understandably it wasnt working well. I had the same result as you have. better buy a brand new rig and put in that place and check or even borrow from a friend one and see.

Reply to szymek

does the monitor do this on another working computer
what is your PSU, is that one of the items you switched out (brand, wattage, amps on 12v rail)
did you swap with a known working gpu

and use better spelling please, it just screams 10 year old

P.S. we are not staff members, just moderately nice people

As I said to you in your YouTube video it can be a lot of things, it's impossible to give an answer here. You have to reduce parameters. Probably when you swapped components you still retained what was causing the problem since you cannot exchange all components togheter.

The only way to find the solution is having another PC and swapping the components one on one. If you can find another PC with the same socket and RAM architecture (DDR2 or DDR3) it's the best, but you can do it also with older/newer technologies if they are not to old apart (for example if the old PC has AGP and DDR since two many components are different and you cannot restrict too much variables).

Exchange first the MoBo of the other functioning computer with your own (if the socket and/or RAM is different retain CPU and/or RAM). If it gives artifacts you know have restricted the problem to only three components or in the case of same socket and/or RAM only one or two and to find the trouble will be easy from here. If not continue with all the other components. Finally you will find the trouble.

I replied only because I can understand your frustration. I was tempted to do otherwise but anyway let's hope to have not given pearls to a swine.

Reply to selea

Alternatively rechange all components one by one (the same thing you should have done before) starting from the most external to the most internal.

First monitor, after case, after PSU, after HDDS (not likely you can past them), after MoBo (same socket), after CPU, after RAM, after GPU and so on. There's no way you will not find the problem.

Surely if will cost you much trouble and/or money. Having another functioning PC makes it all much easier to do, also because if there's some sort of interference you see it immediately with another computer.

However this is nonsense. Or you reply or you don't. If you have a cause and you know it you should help him no matter his attitude. He can be a child and think he can have anything acting as a Nietzsche's superhuman, but that doesn't change the fact that he has a problem you can solve and you should do your best at doing it. He can be an ass**** but with the pretentious of showing yourself you are being more intelligent (an obvious thing btw) you are passing yourself as an ass**** too.

A doctor cure the symptoms not the human being, or do you pherhaps think that all idiots shouldn't be cure? I think myself that maybe idiots should all die, but that's all another matter altogheter.

The funny thing is that usually on these "help your broken PC" threads, the helpers ask questions and suggest things about the rig, and the OP answers them and tries the suggestions out. But (his attitude aside) he seems to wan't us to do all the work and figure it out on our own without him, he hasn't even posted one post since the start post, even if we wanted to help, it is kinda hard, without any feedback.

There is some things that if you ask in the right way, many people on here would help hand over fist.

Unfortuately there are some who feel that computer engineers are there for free because we answer questions to peoples problems in minutes.

I had a mate whos a plasterer, he rang me on a daily basis asking technical questions, to which he got educated by taking up my valuable time as I am self employed.

Anyhow when it came for me to have my lounge plastered he charged me for it.. Now im not expecting him to do it for nothing but i did expect a large reduction. But this guy expected me to give him free advice for over 3 years and he never reduced his bill so I told him where to go..

And he was supposed to be a mate.

I agree on what you say but I was not talkin about this but about the behaviour of the poster. The TC asked a question in bad manners. The TH staff member replied "I know what your problem is but I won't tell you". This is idiocy. The need to acknowledge others of yours wiseness is the attidute of the weak. If you don't want to answer just don't do it. There's no intelligent motive to simply answer not answering acting as one that knows the problem if not for a supposed instinct on being acknowledged. Either if he wanted to teach him a lesson acting this way makes him an ass**** for intelligent beings around, or at last for me. Speaking for myself if I lose time with someone I do it without caring about anything else, and if I chose to don't lose time I don't do it, simple as that.

If you think he is an idiot then don't reply, but if you do it then do it with style. The pantomime between words doesn't mean anything at all and doesn't serve nobody at all, neither the poster.

This is what I was talking about and not the fact that he had to reply to the TC.

Yes I'm conerned about the flag as well. Technically the Aussie flag has the Union Jack as well, but I think it would be better to show the Southern Cross instead since that symbolises Australia more. New Zealand uses a neutered Southern Cross with a missing star... and it's red.

In this you are right. The TC is clearly an idiot. I tried to help him but he won't give feedback. This way it's impossible to help him. Also if in the end I already knew that I would lose time replying to him I did it willingly hoping that I maybe would have proved wrong. I took the responsibility of replying and I lost nothing nor get nothing in return. Usually is this way when you take risks but sometimes people surprises you and that moments are enough for all the other already known failures.

Then maybe don't you think that probably if you had given a reply someone else would have liked to know it since it can happen to anyone? I for example don't know the answer fully to the question (I have some ideas how to procede on resolving it but don't know in the specific what could be wrong) and would like to know the possible cause if something similar happens to me or someone I know. Sometimes when these sort of things happens you become crazy if the problem didn't happen before, because nobody can know everything.

I would have accepted the fact that someone of the staff didn't bother to reply to an idiot, but since you took the time to do it I would have been happy to see that you had the intelligence of thinking that also if he didn't deserve the answer maybe someone else did.
