Red dots seen on screen.

Hi,

I am recently expericing these red dots in some of the games I play. Not sure what is causing this to happen. Anyone can shed some light?

Thanks in advance!

State your pc specs and the model of your GPU.

Also state the monitor used.

Lastly state how old is the components.

try pushing the cable securely into the hole on your monitor, I got these red dots when I was doing up my rig and didn't screw in the plug completely. Once done it all went away!

With that said, I done that. Ermm, maybe it has something to do with my HDMI to DVI convertor that I use to connect the cable to my 570X dvi connector.

probably should get a cable that is DVI-to-HDMI cable instead of using convertor.

Happened to me before. Most likely loose connection or faulty cable
