Hello, so I have an interesting problem. A month or so ago, my laptop started glitching out. There were strange artifacts and weird behaviors consistently. I tried:
Now based on how this looks and what I can find on the internet, this looks like it is a VRAM problem. Now, since the GPU is an integrated GPU (Ryzen 5 2500U), I should be able to replace the RAM and hopefully the problem would go away if this is the case. However, I know that the Ryzen laptop APUs are not the most stable of all processors. So I suppose my question is this:
Should I just go with trying to replace the VRAM? Or is it an unfixable hardware bug? Or is it another software bug? (I feel like that's unlikely at this point. I've certainly tried a couple of different workaround for the processor and other Ryzen processors, and none have seemed to work...)
- updating the graphics drivers,
- updating windows,
- removed windows and installed Linux Mint (as I needed a Linux device anyway.)
