hey guys, I just noticed this morning but whenever I am scrolling with the mouse wheel on my desktop in the bottom portion of the screen there is a weird distorted pixely effect, it's kind of like screen tearing.

Any idea what this would be?

I'm on Windows 10 and this is a custom built PC, it's only 8 months old.

I'd try to get a pic of it but I can't seem to replicate it on screen captures.

If it doesn't appear in screen shots then it might be a failing or overheating GPU.

If it doesn't show up in your screenshots, it may be a rendering bug on a display-level. Check if you can update or write over your current CPU drivers. If it's a desktop PC, might be worth opening the thing up and look what the dust situation is like.

Is it always at the bottom of the screen, or can you make the same thing happen at the bottom of smaller windows?

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but your screen is made of pixels. everything has a pixely effect

Spoiler

Take a picture with your phone.

Just been to my local PC repair shop and had them take a look at things, it appears that something is wrong with the DVI port on my monitor >_<

K, I got a vid of what appears to be wrong with my screen. Anyone got any guesses for this? I'd appreciate some peace of mind =/

It's very pronounced at the end of the vid, I'd have edited it down but I done it from my phone.

Strangely, I've not seen any effects in game and it only happens in the bottom left corner of my screen while surfing the internet. I've tried stressing my card and it seems totally fine so I think it's the monitor.

EDIT: could it just be the browser? This happens in Firefox but seemingly not in Edge?

Been happening on mine as well. Firefox just released a new version, and it's only happening on here, so that *might* be the problem. Don't quote me.
