I had this issue with my Pixel 4a. GrapheneOS from first day of use. But something else was also happening prior to the screen soft-glitching: the bars under Storage were adjusting to random values within the first few seconds of checking. They would rise and fall, and then settle to some new value each time. Stranger even, was the error message crying about low on storage, even though under inspection from my PC it had a good 30GB free. So I took it into the phone repair shop, only citing the screen issue, and paid to have it replaced. I'll be damned if when I got it back, if the screen didn't glitch out again same day. It would show the bootscreens, then sometimes would unlock, and immediately glitch out like yours, before the screen went black. I seriously think it's software. Still have it, because I can't wipe it, I'm in the same situation.
I did a huge jump from an AMD Phenom II
X6 1055T CPU (6-core AM3 socket) kept in an old gen1 Thermaltake Armor case (think plastic transparent window), my 2012 build. This is my 3rd build ever, and the Thermaltake Armor had to go! I love this 5950x, it's a beast, and I hope to get 10+ years outta this rig. You?
Thanks so much for the swift reply! Reassuring. I'll be devastated that I'm going from CL14 3200Mhz to CL19 2666Mhz if they want to "upgrade" me. I did a lotta research when piecing my build, and the AMD 5950X has an Infinity Fabric of 1:1 at CL14 3200Mhz.
I wanted the absolute best baseline, GPU-excepted.
Sowing down ain't for this build.
What state if you don't mind me asking? I lived in FL, TX, MD, and PA before jumping The Atlantic Ocean a few years ago.
I'm thinking my G.Skill 64GB set I bought in 2025 is crashing my PC. Gonna run a MemTest86+ overnight to check. Rated for 1.45V and up to DDR4-3200 with the XMP profile- PC crashes under load just minutes into a fresh reboot.
This said, an equivalent 64GB kit of their DDR4 CL19 (F4-2666C19D-64GVK) is retailing at the store I bought my original CL14 Ripjaws for €753. I bought the CL14 faster 64GB kit (F4-3200C14D-64GVK (EOL)) for €177.45 So SHIT I don't know how G.Skill is going to handle my situation, if MemTest86+ fails out at the 3200MHz stress test (on their official site, they declare that my possibly defective F4-3200C14D-64GVK (EOL) can reach 3200MHz with a small bump up of voltage to 1.45V, up from stock 1.2V).
How did it play out for you, with their Limited Lifetime Warranty? I'm in the EU.
Thank you for all you do. Now can someone give me insight as to why many (not all) images in both Voyager and Jerboa media fail to load for me on Zip? Thanks.
Thanks, I'm OOTL. I went Ventrilo while I was still a Windoze user, then onto Discord when they launched a Debian package. Would love to fallback to Vent, but even after two decades, they don't support Linux.
Oh my Gucci- this post made me immediately think of this oldie but goodie. I can't find the original via NewPipe nor Invidious, but the YT link is here: Cat attacks sitter changing litter
Wished I knew how to generate a NewPipe or Invidious link, knowing the video URL is v=Oipw_d_eKA8 but I just can't figure it out.
Sorry for a YT link, but it is so worth the watch!
Edit: oh my Gucci- this might be the original after all, posted 2002!
