A memory test screen that claims the test passed with no errors, while somehow the display itself has at least three errors on it.
The issue turned out to be bad capacitors.

Nah, it’s says there’s no0errors at the bottom. It’s all good!
I’m surprised that it ran through even one full test with no errors. IME when RAM has any issues, you get a flood of errors during testing.
It can’t even display a screen full of text without 3 errors, how did it get past an entire test without catching any?
A theory I have about why that happened that way and didn’t get detected…
The bad caps might have been for the GPU slot power, and the glitch might have actually occurred in the GPU VRAM, not the system RAM.
Sigh, we’ll never know for sure…
I know right? That’s the only time I’ve ever seen such a thing, and I probably would have totally missed it if it wasn’t for the no0errors glitch.
A few new capacitors fixed it right up.
Weird huh?
