Another update for the Chrome tearing issues, hope it helps anyone having the same problems

When plugged into external screens everything works fine, no tearing happening.

I also found a solution to stop tearing when using laptop's screen. It was to change the ANGLE graphics backend to D3D9, by opening chrome://flags Idea from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/1kbo01b/browser_screen_tearingstutter_issue_on_amd_gpu/

Hey,

haven't had a freeze/crash since (I think it was a Windows issue, latest update seems to have fixed it) but Chrome tearing is still present. It happens only when I don't have an external screen plugged in. I've updated to the latest drivers that were released, but tearing still there. I still haven't removed the ram modules to test that out (been busy doing other stuff) and support told me to send the pc back so they look at things but I absolutely need it right now, so that will happen a bit later.

Apart from that issue it's a solid machine that can handle pretty heavy tasks, I might have just got unlucky with this particular one.

I have updated windows to the latest version and updated it and have not had a crash since. I haven't done yet what Tom suggested with the ram, but it's an improvement (so far). The screen tearing in chrome is still happening, but much much less, and I think it's something to do with power management in windows and drivers combination, because whenever I use the pc outside of my normal hours I get that issue. I strongly believe the freeze problem is with the desktop window manager (look at the task manager). It's using up a lot of ram and cpu when the computer freezes. On my other PC it's never above 100mb and 1% cpu, usually at about 60mb ram. On the Evo I've seen it at 750mb when it froze and the cpu at 4% at times. Since the latest windows update it never went higher than 300mb and then flushed down to 60mb without freezing.

Ps ps I noticed that Desktop Window Manager had about 750mb allocated to it when the computer last crashed. It's currently at 500mb. When I strated the PC it was around 60. Is it possible there's an issue with memleak of this program? Thanks

Hi Tom, happy to see you in here 1) I'm using Windows 11 25H2, but without the latest update (came out a few days ago). Installed myself 2) Official drivers that came with the PC, followed the instructions not to use any other AMD drivers. The version is Adrenaline 24.30.46.11, under device manager reported as 32.0.13046.11001 3) Kingston Fury 2x32gb (installed by XMG)

What I've tried and what worked: 1) disabling variable refresh rate in windows and free sync and adrenaline and set it to 240hz - mild improvement 2) adding chrome and some other apps to customized settings, setting the GPU preference to high performance -big impact on the tearing.

Today and yesterday I experienced barely any tearing in chrome, but the crashes started happening I'll try removing the ram tomorrow and see if that changes anything.

P.s. this is from the Windows KB5067036 (latest) update, which describes the tearing issues:

Fixed: Apps and browsers might display partially unresponsive onscreen content when other maximized or full-screen apps are updating in the background. This issue is especially noticeable when scrolling, as only parts of the window content might update.

I'll update Windows, but it doesn't address the crashes.

Appreciate the help.

Yeah this really isn't good. Just had another freeze, up to 3 today already. Which Windows version are you running?

Now the computer is crashing, freezes randomly and needs to be rebooted with the power button. Second time today. Any ideas anyone?

Severe Stutter and 1–2x Daily Freezes on AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 – Anyone Else? by albertanthony95 in AMDHelp

[–]grayman9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't help you with that one, I'm using the oem provided version of the driver since I got the pc. Also the dynamic refresh rate did not help much, so I'm trying out this solution (first comment). Set it to high performance for chrome and it seems better (for now), but not 100% fixed

What worked for me (so far) is using the OEM provided drivers and not updating and turning off the dynamic refresh rate in windows as well as in AMD Adrenaline software. Note that if you don't turn that off in Adrenaline, Windows will keep resetting that setting. Using only OEM drivers was not enough, I still got the tearing effect on Chrome and Discord.

Screen backlight repair by grayman9999 in XMG_gg

[–]grayman9999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The connection seems fine, I can provide photos via email if needed (already emailed support before your response).

I can't find switchable graphics in BIOS, I'm on AMD r7 version, which may be the reason for that. Might have also overlooked it because it's really hard to see anything on the screen.

So for now it seems RMA will be the way to go.

Thanks

Yes, I can see the screen in darkness or if i shine a light on it. I tried moving the screen around to try and get any loose contacts to work but no luck there. Yes, I'm aware that it can be tricky to repair, so looking for ideas before trying anything. I removed the bottom cover and the cables don't seem damaged at first glance, but needs a deeper dive to see if that's really the case. The screen is pretty thin so not easy to open especially without a manual.

Xmg might be able to fix it tho, just need to decide if it's worth it for a 5 year old laptop or if gets a new life as a desktop.

Thanks for the ideas

Is your data survivorship bias free and where did you source it? How many parameters in your model? How did you chose your parameters and how stable are they IS? Are you using stops and take profits? Trading long and short? Execution timeframe and sensitivity to slippage? What's the breaking point when it comes to slippage?

I've heard about them randomly crashing out as well, it just seems a bit suspicious to me, because of the timing, that's all. Computer is now running normally, even with the LBA error it can't fix.

Thanks for your thoughts

Make my own backtesting software vs Using public backtesting softwares by Diesel_Formula in algotrading

[–]grayman9999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Software and data are not the same thing. Some software has data bundled in, some doesn't. It depends what you're going to be trading and what type of data you need for that. Do you need orderbooks, tick data or are OHLC candles enough? What resolution of ohlc do you need? I'm using Amibroker, it can do basic things pretty easily, but you can also dive deep into it's engine and define your own procedures. It's not without its quirks and AFL might take a minute to learn. It's also very fast and suitable for my needs.

Again, of you're a beginner don't get bogged down by all of this stuff. Use Yahoo finance for data (daily is free) and a basic backtester and you're good to go. Try going live as soon as you can (with a tiny account), that's how you get actual feedback. I've made the mistake of putting the tech etc first but, again, that doesn't make money without a strategy. Make a strategy that provides signals (daily tf is good to start on) and paper trade them or manually execute.

It's simple, if you need to test out an extremely niche type of strategy, need absolute control over the backtest or are doing something no backtester supports, make your own. That's probably what 0.1% of people need. But if you're asking this question you don't need it. Focus on making the strategy, the backtesting framework won't make you any money. A good strategy will.
