Hi,

I am finding a lot of corrupt artifacts on my photoshop files that look like bar codes and all random colours (even when I try to delete them they are still there and basically its ********ng up) can anyone help with this to find out what the issue is?

These are not just on screen but when printed as well and are ruining my precious work :confused:

I have attached an example image to show one of the artifacts.

I had this problem before and I thought I don't want this, so I completely wiped my laptop and started again from scratch and installed all the apps etc individual nothing was restored from backups.


I actually thought this was a graphics problem so I disabled the graphics processor in photoshops performance settings, but this still happens.

Specification:
Model: MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008)
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM (2x 4gb upgraded from crucial)
Hard Drive (Main Bay): Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB
Hard Drive (Replaced CD Drive): WDC WD5000BEVT-11A03T0 500gb
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Software: 10.10.1 (14B25) Yosemite (Latest)



Could it be a memory issue? but its only ever seen in photoshop.
Could it be a scratch disk issue?
Could it still be a graphics issue?
Can I fix the DAMN THING (I have deadlines coming up for my design work and this crap is going to be all over my prints now)
