[Kodi 16.1] Intel x5-Z8300 Graphic problems
#1
Hi,
I have bought a http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-ara-x5-plus
and everything seems to be working fine except Kodi.

I have been trying with different versions and drivers but I always see the following "small black lines".

The chipset is an Intel Atom x5-Z8300, driver versión 20.19.15.4331

Windows 10 home

And the log file is:

Has someone similar issues? I have tried to disable graphic acceleration but not luck.

Thanks.

Can you run DxDiag for both 32bit & 64bit?
See if any problems are reported?

Never mind as this box comes pre-loaded with win10 64 bit.
You should turn to the seller for support as it's difficult to diagnose as a Win10 problem.

As a side note and off topic, as I was looking at the product page, it stated (3rd line of Pre-installed Win 10 OS )

"The built-in Cortana in Windows 10 can let the Ara X5 Plus work as your assistant and lovely life-partner."

Now I am seriously considering the device...

Thanks, I have run the dxdiag in 32 bits and everything looks fine.

I have also contacted the seller to see if they can provide a solution, it's weird because is working fine for other people with the same driver version.

Those black lines in your image are likely a physical memory fault. Do they appear on other programs running on this device?

Video Memory fails with patterns repeated across it like that.

This is certainly a manufacturer fault. Return to sender for replacement.

(Though do make a quick test with a different HDMI cable first)


I have had graphics cards fail with that exact same pattern on them. More usually stuck on white than black.

Hi BatterPudding,
More lines has appear in other programs so I have contacted geekbuying and tronsmart for a replacement.
I think you are right and something wrong is with the memory or gpu.
I'll keep you informed for future buyers of tronsmart or geekbuying.
Thanks all for your help.

A quick Google Image Search on "Graphic Memory Fault" gives you this...

Notice when you scroll down you see other examples like yours. Look for the dashes on screens and ignore the dialog boxes/BSODs/etc. I have seen this on PC graphics cards many times before. The dashes and repeating pattern of it.
