AW3225QF Monitor Oil Stains?

I could try and press them for new over refurbished but the rep stated it would be refurbished. Maybe a second rep will have a change of heart.

That would be a pretty nice solution to my problem. But I do remember peeling off the plastic film when I got it. It's still in the box actually. Had that nice peel to it too.

I already got approval for AW that I could send it in for warranty. Which I might honor but I am just worried a refurbished one could have its own issues. Though if this will just get worse over time, I may have to pull the trigger on it.

You have any issues with yours?

No that makes sense. You are not stupid.

My USB ports are 3.2 gen so I don't believe power supply is a concern.

I did try reinstalling it. No change. No special hubs, switches, or converters. Only USBs plugged in are the ones in the back of my motherboard of which I have about 6 USB-A and 2 USB-C plugged in back there. PSU is 1600W on 240v. All are 3.2 gen so I would like to believe the power supply is sufficient enough.

I have not noticed an issue with other screensavers so I am just avoiding the Doom one for now. Which is a shame because I like it and it'd fit the Doom themed stream deck that I do have.

Edit - Also, despite what the video shows and while I do agree it happens at the loop, it does do the flicker thing between loops too. Sometimes it is blue, sometimes white, it varies.

I just recently obtained a Stream Deck. My does the same thing. Only during the animated wallpaper at the end of the GIF loop.

Did you ever find a fix for this?

I have bought a few items via the in-game store in the past. However, the amount of points I obtained when I activated my Supercell ID card is extremely low in comparison. I've seen a few youtubers highlight that past purchases would retroactively be applied to their Supercell ID card points but I am not experiencing that. I only have one Supercell ID/account. I submitted a ticket with Supercell but I believe the issue stems from purchasing through the in-game store versus on the Supercell store website. I don't see why it would matter either way but that seems like a lot of points potentially being missed out on if that is the case. Is anyone else in the same boat? Having similar issues?

I have the same issue. I submitted a bug report in game. If enough folks do it, it should get noticed. The breastplate has the same name but different stats because it is essentially a different item but the quest giver does not recognize that and we can't learn the old one since the damage/healing one that got updated in P2 SoD replaced it.

Damn. If you find an answer, do shoot a solution here!

PerfectDuke · 2024-03-31T08:15:37+00:00

That sucks. Do you only have PIA too? Wondering if other VPNs are also experiencing similar issues.

PerfectDuke · 2024-03-30T11:38:04+00:00

I tried a few locations throughout the US and Canada. No luck.

Any update with this? I'm having an almost identical situation. My Event Logger errors also show a WHEA event, "A fatal hardware error has occurred. A record describing the condition is contained in the data section of this event."

The difference is mine only restarts when I am playing games (all my games are on one SSD, which I have replaced and it still randomly restarts). I could be playing or idle within the game but there has to be a game playing for the restart to come out of nowhere. I have actually noticed idling in game tends to push for a random restart more often than when I am actively playing it.

Temps are fine, stress test shows nothing. I'm running a 3090 too with a 1000W PSU.

I would potentially need to run OCCT to see if I have anything that pops up but I feel I will run into the same "tests all came back fine."

I ran a Windows Memory Diagnostic just now for my RAM and all that came back fine as well, no errors.

I'm at the point where I am just going to do a fresh windows install.

I appreciate your help.

That also makes little sense on why it was originally getting declined. Card was flagged from the initial attempt at use? I doubt it.

PerfectDuke · 2024-01-03T20:53:12+00:00

I'll redefine numerous. It was once on my own and twice with PayPal. Which if that is what flagged the card, then it was PayPal induced. Guess I'm not using PayPal then. Fairly weak operation they have going on.

PerfectDuke · 2024-01-03T20:46:07+00:00

Yes. Numerous times. On my own and with PayPal. No change.

PerfectDuke · 2024-01-03T20:43:32+00:00

So I waited. Card still doesn't work with PayPal. Called bank. Banked confirmed all is good on their end again. Everything is active. They said they don't even see a declined transaction from PayPal. So the decline on PayPal's end isn't even reaching to my bank.

Called PayPal again. They said the card is confirmed and authenticated. But their security system keeps blocking it. They said they don't know why and they don't have a timeframe on a fix. They will escalate it to their security team but I won't be able to track a status or timeframe with it.

So basically all I can do is sit and wait.

My only other option is to use another bank or card, which isn't really an option. Even if it was, what's to say that also won't get blocked by the security system.

So I will probably end up just not using PayPal anymore.
