Random dots all over the screen

KNurf — Wed, 24 Jan 2018 05:59:30 GMT

Hello all. I was looking for help regarding a problem with my laptop.

I recently updated my laptop to latest build of Windows 10. But, after the update, now there are random "snow" dots (sort 0f flickering) appearing across the screen.

http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a418/kautsar_21/white%20dots%20problem%203_zpsari06plu.png

Those random dots always appeared each time I restart my laptop. If I shut down my laptop, then turn it on, the dots won't appear.

If I restart again, dots will apear again.

I tried booting my laptop to Safe Mode, and the dots disappear during the Safe Mode.

I assume this has to do with my Intel(R) HD Graphics. I have two Display Adapters on my laptop, Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M.

Disabling Intel(R) HD Graphics Device,Uninstall the driver, and/or switching the driver with Microsoft Basic Display Adapter will remove the random dots, but the problem returns when I restart the laptop.

Here's the spec of My laptop:

ASUS GL502VT

Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M as Display Adapter

Thank you

Hello Kautsar,

Thank you for your response,

I see that the driver that you currently have is not the latest one. I actually checked under the manufacturer of the computer but the driver that they have is older than the one you currently have. Since this is the case I would like to try to update the driver to the latest version we have. Here is the link:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27412/Graphics-Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-60-?product=88967 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27412/Graphics-Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-60-?product=88967

Also, please follow these steps to install the driver:

Unzip the file to a designated location or folder.
Open Device Manager:
- For Windows 8 and Windows 8.1: Press Windows + X keys together
- For Windows 10: Right-click Windows Start icon
Click Yes when prompted for permission from User Account Control.
Expand the Display adapters section.
Right-click the Intel® graphics entry and select Update Driver Software. NoteThe graphics entry may be Microsoft Basic Display Adapter* if no Intel® Graphics Driver has been previously installed.
Click Browse my computer for driver software.
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
Click Have Disk.
Click Browse and access the directory where the driver files are found.
Access a folder called Graphics.
Select the file called igdlh64 or igdlh.
Click Open, then click OK, and finally click Next. Drivers are now being installed.
Restart your computer.

I hope you find this helpful.

Regards,

David V

I already tried the update. But after I restart my laptop, the problem still exist.

The confusing part is, if I turn on my laptop from start (after shutting down), the dots won't appear and the screen back to normal.

But, each time I restart, the dots will appear again.

Hello Kautsar,

Thank you for your response,

Up to this point there are just 2 steps that could be tried to see if it is a graphics issue or a Operating System problem. First, If possible, please re-install the Operating System. Upon doing this, once everything is re-installed the "snow dots" should disappear.

If you do not want to re-install the operating system then what you could try is to do a system restore to a previous working version. You can follow the steps here:

Hello Kautsar,

Thank you for your response,

Up to this point we can only conclude that the issue is a hardware issue and not software or driver-related. In this case I strongly recommend to get in contact with Asus for any possible hardware issue help. I apologize for any inconveniences.

So, I brought my laptop to service center, and got some replacement on the monitor and other parts (maybe motherboard)

Anyway, thank you for helping me with this issue.
