Image artifacts are an extremely serious problem that can lead to numerous eye problems. That is why it is so important to get rid of any malfunctions as soon as possible. Most often, ripples bother users. What to do with ripples? What measures will get rid of this defect as soon as possible? Are there any universal measures that can be taken to correct the situation and fix the monitor?
Ripples are called such a defect on the monitor screen (or television screen), as a complete lack of image and hissing (in the case of a TV). Instead, noise appears on the screen that prevents the use of a PC or TV monitor. These interferences are usually horizontal stripes that flicker on the screen.
Ripple is a fairly common problem in the past, however, it occurs today. If earlier ripples were widespread in the case of televisions, then with the widespread use of computer technology, this defect reached the monitor screens. Now this problem is bothering an increasing number of people, because PC monitors tend to fail.
The ripples always look about the same, although there are some differences. They consist in the fact that some screens during ripples show just gray-black stripes, while others show gray-black stripes diluted with colored stripes.
It is important to note that there is no difference in how exactly the ripples look. It is a defect that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Only in this case, you can be sure that everything goes well and the defects disappear.
Why does the screen ripple
Problems with video card drivers are one of the most common reasons why ripples appeared. It is not surprising that in many cases it is extremely difficult to fix this problem on your own. The fact is that the best option is to install a new version of drivers, however, this is not always possible. Moreover, in some cases, installing new software can lead to numerous technical problems, and in some cases this is completely impossible. When turned on, ripples will remain.
So, if we are talking about a relatively new video card, you should install a new version of the drivers as soon as possible. In this case, you can forget about any problems for a very long time. If we are talking about an old PC, in which there is very little memory, then you will have to delete unnecessary files and free up space for installing drivers.
If you need to install new software for a video card that is more than 10 years old, then everything will be much more complicated. It will take as much effort and time as possible to find working drivers, which may no longer be on the manufacturer's website.
REFERENCE! Alternatively, you can recommend paying attention to the forums where it is possible to find software even for the oldest equipment.
Another common problem is overclocking a video card. Acceleration is an extremely serious problem, which can be extremely difficult to solve even for a specialist. The consequences of improper overclocking is the failure of the video card. This seems to be a small problem, however, in fact it is not at all. After incorrect overclocking, the video card will have to be attributed to the master or to the service center, since it is absolutely impossible to repair it on your own in most cases.
A malfunction of the video adapter due to overheating is another popular problem. In this case, you have to start testing the video card. This can be done using specialized software. As such software, the Everest program can be recommended. It is free and easy to find on the Internet. In order for the test to be as successful as possible, you need to know the normal temperature for the video card. Usually it is about 50-65 degrees.
WITHAMENDMENT! If the temperature is much higher, then this means that the video card is overheating. Due to overheating, a wide variety of problems can occur, so it is not surprising that ripples often appear after a violation of the temperature regime of the device.
If the program captures a high temperature, and overheating is not observed (according to personal feelings), then the problem may be in poor contacts. Then you need to check all the loops, however, this is the most extreme way. The thing is that opening a PC or laptop is not recommended, because it is so very easy to break it or do something wrong.
Most often there are problems with the monitor. A malfunction in the monitor itself is most common. This is not surprising, because the monitor is a complex technical device, which is very simple to disable. In order to prevent this from happening, it is required to observe at least the most basic requirements for the operation of the screen. If suspicion fell on the monitor, then they need to be checked. This requires connecting the monitor to another PC. If the problem still persists, then the cause is clearly the presence of some kind of malfunction in the monitor.
It is possible that there are problems with the matrix. The matrix is a complex technical component, which can be extremely difficult to replace on its own. Sometimes it's all about the backlight or inverter. Grinding the loop can also lead to ripples. Usually the reason for grinding the loop is that the laptop is constantly open or close. In this case, you can expect the appearance of a problem after a couple of months of intensive use.
As mentioned earlier, you can get rid of ripples in different ways, depending on the type of malfunction. Among the universal ways to solve the problem, the following can be noted:
Chip replacement directly on the video adapter itself. This is a rather complicated way. The thing is that finding a company that can repair a device with a chip replacement can be difficult even in a relatively large city. Moreover, some masters do not have a sufficient level of qualification in order to cope with the problem. Then they will have to spend a lot of effort to learn the basic methods of repair, and then find the right chip. All this affects the cost, so it is so important to prepare in advance for the fact that this method cannot be implemented.
REFERENCE! Warming up a video card is also a relatively complicated method. It can be used only when no other method helps.
The fact is that this method can fix the situation only for a very limited time. Then the device will become unusable again and will have to be repaired. Moreover, we are talking about weeks or months of normal operation. Then the device can be safely thrown into the trash. This means that it is best to use some other method that will achieve a positive result for a longer period.
The easiest way to purchase a new graphics card or a new monitor. If we are talking about the TV, then you have to turn it over to a service center. These are the most expensive methods, however, they will become a real salvation, if you can not fix the situation in another way. It is not surprising that in many cases, people buy a new device to save themselves from unnecessary hassle and turmoil. It is also worth noting that sometimes replacing a video card can be relatively cheap if it is an old computer.
It all depends on how well a person is versed in technology. If we are talking about a housewife, it is recommended to take the equipment to a specialized service center. They will help to deal with all the problems and make sure that the user does not even have the thought of how to do the repair yourself.
The only case where you can try to fix the problem yourself concerns drivers. If you reinstall them, you can forget about the problems for a very long time. However, the problem is far from always the software. Most often we are talking about some kind of hardware malfunction. Then you can not do without not only knowledge, but also without special tools.
