Hi all!
Recently I've been noticing some graphic glitches, in certain apps (so far) and I can reproduce them fairly consistently once they start.
I started noticing them when zooming w/ the Accessibility options Zoom feature in the Mail app. I attached a screenshot w/ Mail.
Then I can also reproduce them in the Transmit app, this not only glitches on zoom but also on moving the window around. Also screenshot attached.
Of course I've tried the usual nonsense:
- Unplug all peripherals
- Quit all apps
- Restarted
- Reset PRAM & SMC
I've also attached a screenshot w/ the Transmit app after the PRAM/SMC reset, you'll notice the glitch square is a little smaller now.
So to me this is either some crazy software issue, but more likely it looks like a hardware issue. Any help or insight or testing suggestions would be greatly appreciate it.
I did add more RAM to it, shipped w/ 8GB and I added 32GB for a total of 40GB. I will be testing with with just my 32GB RAM alone and also w/ the original 8GB that it shipped with to cross that off the list.
I was joking w/ my wife the other day, I've had a hackintosh for 6 years, worked without any issues whatsoever, just the typical updates that were more or less annoying, but beyond that a flawless system. Now that I have a fully loaded iMac that is only a few months old, I'm experiencing some very frustrating issues
