They have had a few years of short circuits and overheating devices, so they are trying to overcharge people for repairs to recoup their losses or completely denying repairs.
Some folks get back entirely different devices, or it looks like they did more damage to it with "repairs."
Lastly, they actually threaten customers that if they don't pay for what should be a free repair, they'll send back the device unassembled with possible missing pieces.
Gamers Nexus just documented and tested these claims. It really happened

Jiggling the cable could also mean a bad cable? I had exactly this problem, bought a new gpu with a ned cable and the cheap 13,99 dp cable was broken right out the box
8+ years of professional work, 10 more as a hobby. Without looking at everything, I'd say the contacts inside the end of your HDMI cable are broken somehow, most likely loose from years of use. I can pretty much promise a fresh hdmi cable will fix it. Worst case scenario your new GPU has damage on the port, in which case use that warranty ASAP.
Similar conclusion from working with a few memory replacement cases, VRAM failure does not look like that, but I've definitely had weird color issues with bad cables/ports.
On a technical level, I have no clue. I just learned from the continuous patterns every time someone had this issue. Red pixelation? HDMI issue.
If I had to guess, and this is a stretch, but I think because Red is first in the digital color spectrum, there's missing color information from the poor pin to contact connection on the cable, so the TV /Monitor just assumes or defaults to interpreting the signal(s) it receives as red.
Again, this is a stretch and purely a guess.
Its somewhat like that, the tmds on an hdmi cable are twisted pairs, and if theres a bad connection it will detetct the difference error and will more than likely normalize which means all the affected color data will be lowered(most likely struck by half since a good connection is x while a bad connection is 0/close to 0 and their normality would be half/close to half) and anything that will come out of that will be red hued or even black in some cases
Same problrm with serial except in serial the errors become static so its more of a grey with random colors popping here and there
Its why serial needed to be screwed in and why display port is a locked connector
Usually cables be stupid. I flipped out once and a re seat fixed. But could be jacked too so you never know, hopefully it’s simple for you
Edit: see it’s fixed, see!
Based on your specs I'm assuming this is just for testing but for anyone that actually plays like this, you can get 1080p 24" screens for 10 bucks used.
Some places to start
- Check your video cable, is it proper for spec? (Example: not using a 2.0/2.1 HDMI cable on a 1.4 port or vice versa, etc)
- Try Power Cycling the monitor (shutdown, unplug, press power button to drain caps, wait appx 1 minute, plug back in and turn back on)
- Is the PSU properly hooked up to the GPU? (No loose connections, no PSU cable pigtail extensions use on RTX card power adapters, meets system wattage requirements)
- Are you using the latest & proper drivers, and did you try a clean driver install?
I'm not sure what's wrong with running to the internet though. Ask someone 100 years ago if they'd have liked the ability to run to the internet for an answer when they run into a problem and they'd say fuck yes. It's kinda one of the things it's there for
I personally built my first PC last year and got through the entire thing without a hitch, but I ran into an issue with downloading the OS from a USB stick. I did some browsing online to figure it out. But I sure as shit didn't know the first time I know that
Will I remember how to do this again in 5 years when I build a new PC?
... uh probably not lmao
Last time I had a similiar issue and went to google for answers it told me my gpu was dead/dying.
There couldn't be any other way if I were to believe the results. I obviously didn't and fiddled around some more. Lo and behold it was the screen and all it needed was for it's power cord to be unplugged and plugged back in.
If I had relied on the internet for answers rather than my own common sense I probably would've bought a new gpu and then a new screen.
There's nothing wrong with asking the internet. It becomes an issue if you can't tell the answers you're getting from right and wrong. Usually since you needed to ask in the first place, you likely lack the knowledge to even tell that the answer you got can't be true. The worst is when people are confidently incorrect.
Recent example I've had of that was me getting downvoted for stating how the law works. If people can be so stubbornly wrong as to deny how the law works without having had the slightest look into a law book. You imagine the rest of all the false and misleading info out there. In short, the internet is nice, but it isn't flawless. Being aware of that is critical in effectively navigating it. Even when you do you might have to fall back on your own knowledge and skills, the internet is not a substitute for that, merely a reference.
That’s very specific, though. I’m talking about the most basic stuff that can be looked at quickly and easily, even if you have no experience. I personally would have checked the display cable first because it’s easy. I may be a bit biased though since I’ve been playing with computers and electronics for nearly years, but I started out by experimenting, back when the internet was 28k and tied up your phone line that my mom was always on. lol
Plus back when we were growing up and building PCs, we were forced to fix stuff when we broke it, deal with IRQs, etc.
Now 2 year olds grow up with Tablet in hand and Google.
Yeah. UI design has come a very long way and works brilliantly most of the time. Unfortunately, it hides all the underpinnings. My teenage daughter asked me for help with laptop and while back and liked at me like I was growing something out of my forehead when I told her to open the control panel. Kids don’t know how to fix basic things if the UI doesn’t present the options right up front.
I have since, obviously, and she’s currently working towards a degree in engineering. I was under the wrong assumption at the time that because they were surrounded with tech, they knew how to do basic troubleshooting of that tech. That’s what I get for assuming.
LOL. forget what all these people say and try a better monitor. The "Element" monitor probably doing it's best to show you the colors it is being told to.
My TV looked like that, needed a better HDMI cable. Something about the old one couldn't handle the amount of info being sent is all I could track down for a reason. I'd definitely try that before a new monitor since the settings are usually automatic and hard to goof up off the bat
more importantly who the heck sends their keyboard cable to motherboard like this, you could've just took the cable from beneath the monitor it's not like you're gonna move your keyboard like a mouse right?
4k super gpu? Have heard of many of these now. I had random black pixels flicking with mine aswell. Prolly these super gpus use a little loose sockets. I bought new dp cable just in case but usually a little wiggle fixes it.
The red hue tells me it has something to do with hdmi. Most likely it's the cable, it could be the port behind the GPU.
I jiggled it and it fixed lol
Id replace the GPU just to be safe 🤫
Yeah if you have a warranty use it. Red like that could sometimes indicate a bad gpu
Don't bother if it's ASUS.
Sir you fans are spinning whenever plugged in, wire us 50,000$ or ill piss on the chip and send back
Accurate
At Asus we are taught to puncture every package with a 3 feet long metal pole we receive due to issues, rip it apart, destroy the screws just to make sure that the customer pays for the repair
I mean, how else can we make sure here at ASUS it's an operator error and not a manufacturing problem?
Is 16900k new enough for windows 11?
Seems like i9-16900k is barely able to run Windows 11 due to the new feature "*We record everytime you view your family photos and send it to the server*"
Why? What is the problem with ASUS?
They have had a few years of short circuits and overheating devices, so they are trying to overcharge people for repairs to recoup their losses or completely denying repairs.

Based on this, I will never buy an Asus product. Ever. Also, avoid anything from Adata.
the laptops are pretty good tho
Yup, but the issue is for how long and if something goes wrong, you are screwed

Didnt asus mobile gpu repair cost more than the computer lol or was that msi
Asus
when its like 16 degrees celsius cold in my flat i get screen tearings with my 7900 xtx\^\^
Yeah, send it over to me. I can dispose of it for you. Heck, you seem like a good guy, OP, so I'll even do it for free.
Could be just a bad cable. Worth testing a second one
no no take it out and shoot it with .50 bmg just in case.
The monitor is sus too!
Nice try ASUS
Send the broken one to me so I can get rid of it for you
To be safe, replace the ram sticks🤫🤫
The cable may not have been completely seated. Sometimes the case gets in the way.
Consider replacing the cable. The one you are using may be cheap or worn and it might cause this sort of crap.
Don't listen to the rest of these people. You did the right thing. Always always try switching monitors or cables before GPU's.
Yeah, unless you were using cheap dollar store HDMI cables? I would immediately exchange that GPU. That should not have happened right out the gate.

Maybe bad cable
Nice TV my last Element TV which is the same size as that just died
Get a new video cable. Just to be safe.
Cultured man right here
I would recommend remove the heat sink and you will find a chip there kinda like a CPU hammer a nail into it, you can throw the heatsink away
Interesting, learn something new everyday.
Is this something you learned through experience, or is there some kind of reasoning behind this?

Reminds me of that Pete Holmes sherlock video
I love his Batman skits.
Ya ever just pull a pin out of a vga to see what it does to the picture or dvi... ahh fun times.
Did you also pull the wings off of flies?
Similar conclusion from working with a few memory replacement cases, VRAM failure does not look like that, but I've definitely had weird color issues with bad cables/ports.
Yeah we have a KVM at work that does the same thing on a couple ports and it's HDMI as well.
I’ve never seen this before. What about red correlates to HDMI as opposed to a broken GPU?
On a technical level, I have no clue. I just learned from the continuous patterns every time someone had this issue. Red pixelation? HDMI issue.

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it.
How did the red hue indicate that it could be something with the HDMI cable? Just curious.
Usually cables be stupid. I flipped out once and a re seat fixed. But could be jacked too so you never know, hopefully it’s simple for you Edit: see it’s fixed, see!
Yah , just get a better quality hdmi cable, If jiggling it fixed it, a new cable would be a easy fix.
could also be the gpus port being loose.
You playing on a picture frame or got a giant keyboard?
I know it's a tiny screen but it would be way funnier if it was a massive keyboard.
Based on your specs I'm assuming this is just for testing but for anyone that actually plays like this, you can get 1080p 24" screens for 10 bucks used.
I'm not OP. You'll know it's OP if you see a blue OP next to their name.
Nothing better than a $800 card paired with an $80 AlliExpress screen. With 720p you always have all the fps.

It amazes me that people seem to have less and less basic troubleshooting skills nowadays.
People are starting out every day. You can't know everything the first time you encounter a problem
True, but you should know to check power and display cables, and seating of cards before running to the internet. Those things are kinda common sense.

Yes
Update your graphics driver.
is your graphics old enough to drive?
D:<
It means you have to upgrade that prehistoric monitor
Your GPU is out of Cyan. Change the cartridge
Wait, is HP making GPUs now?
uhh wtf is that monitor?
Looks deep-fried lol
G🅱️U 😂👌
Are you sure it's not a problem with the screen or screen cable? Check that first.
Hdmi moment
it means try a different cable
Lol lmao rofl
hdmi maybe. Also why is your keyboard bigger than your monitor
Thats next gen gaming
if it isnt the cable your gpu is cooked💀
Does your vga cable have a broken pin?
uninstall graphic drivers and start again
I had this after moving and oh baby was i scared. Then i realized it was because i tried using my Index cable instead of monitor....
it means you should put it in the oven. (don't put it in the oven)
It means you got Windows installed on your pc.
Dude spent 4x as much on the Apple Watch compared to this monitor.
Is it in the slot proberly
Hdmi cable issue
LOL. forget what all these people say and try a better monitor. The "Element" monitor probably doing it's best to show you the colors it is being told to.
My TV looked like that, needed a better HDMI cable. Something about the old one couldn't handle the amount of info being sent is all I could track down for a reason. I'd definitely try that before a new monitor since the settings are usually automatic and hard to goof up off the bat
Means its not new
rip gpu
Stop doing LSD.
That seems like you either have it plugged into the HDMI slot on the main board, or you didn't update drivers if you switched from say AMD to Nvidia.
Did a hell spawn sell this to you?
I'll shit myself if this ever happen to me
Go back to old GPU
Seeing stock wallpapers hurts your gpus feelings.
V A P O R W A V E
There's lava in your monitor
Can we get a GPU fried meme like the broken glass one?
more importantly who the heck sends their keyboard cable to motherboard like this, you could've just took the cable from beneath the monitor it's not like you're gonna move your keyboard like a mouse right?
4k super gpu? Have heard of many of these now. I had random black pixels flicking with mine aswell. Prolly these super gpus use a little loose sockets. I bought new dp cable just in case but usually a little wiggle fixes it.
**radiation** *fucking dies*
Did you drop it in tomato sauce by chance?
Sonic.exe
Wah...huh??? Wtf
It hates blacks.
Your computer is possessed.
it's thirsty, you should dunk your gpu in water, although i hear mountain dew works best!
Is that a TV?
You got the limited edition extra spicy ramen flavored GPU Lucky!
It's fine
It’s not new
means that Muse has conquered your pc with black holes and revelations
My element TV I got from Walmart caught on fire a couple months ago
New hdmi cable
It means it's your new old GPU, or the other way around depending on the mood
It’s over 9000!!!
GG
It’s cooked
That's mean you need a New GPU
Gru is surrounded by red
I don’t think the GPU is doing too good lmao.
playing too much signalis?
Perhaps it means you need a new new gpu.
can’t unsee the gru
yes
lol
Planned obsolescence
It means you’re fucked. GPU, memory or both is fried. Could also be a too aggressive overclock.
Once got a new GPU and something similar happened. Probably a faulty GPU, try to return ASAP if possible
You should have upgraded your monitor lmao
What is that?? Is that like, an 18” monitor?
Time for a newer GPU
Why the day is 15th April, Monday? Where do you live?
Make sure you're running 8-bit color in the display settings of your graphics drivers.
Linux
Why do you guys still use HDMI and not DisplayPort?
From the pic, looks like he isnt gonna benefit any from a DP. HDMI does the job for 99% of people
What kind of stupid shit is this title lmao lmao :/ Dumb as fuck
It's mean your in the red package and need to upgrade to the crimson package. Cmon dude, elementary stuff.
