Graphic issues (workaround)
-
Hi everyone.
About one month ago some strange issues became visible on my pc.
Especially when the pc was idleing (all energy-saving options are disabled) the graphics driver
become unstable. The most obvious misbehavior was:-
Videos playing on f.e. youtube stop (audio keeps playing) when there is no mouse activity
-> Video repeats to play while your moving the cursor and immediately stops if you stop moving the mouse too. -
Spotify Webplayer stops playing the music when there is no mouse activity (rest like with youtube videos)
-
Submenu's like in the systray or taskbar are 50% transparent when you activate them by right-clicking and wont disappear.
-
Graphs like those visible in the taskmanager wont refresh anymore until you switch the tabs
-
After a few of the above mentioned actions the computer gets slower at first and a few seconds after starts hanging until you have to do a hard-reset.
I looked through many applications on my pc, tried to figure out what triggers that strange behavoir. I even did a clean reinstall of the graphicsdriver and a few other things.
One day i saw only accidentially that the displays flickert about 2 seconds and flux gained control while switching to the configured night-color-mode. I was able to get the same behavior as bevor when trying to open a context menu in systray or similar actions.So i went closing flux via context menu in systray. But i noticed that flux didnt terminated itself so i went on killing it via task manager. The behavior was still present. I decided to kill the graphics driver host process too. That resulted in 2 displays getting a black screen and coming back 2 seconds after. Then everything was fine. No further issues until i restarted the pc or reopend flux.
I was not able to determine the actual issue that is causing this problem but it has to be something about how flux and the grapics-driver are present at the same time.
My specs:
- Win 10 1909 ( Pro )
- flux 4.111
- AMD Ryzen 5 1600x
- 32 GB RAM DDR4
- RX 580 8GB ( Radeon Software v20.4.1 )
- 2 Monitor Setup both HDMI with 1920x1080 @60Hz
I hope my post might help someone to get an workaround.
Regard
