DR17 blacking out specific parts of the timeline

PostMon Mar 22, 2021 5:59 pm

This has happened multiple times now but this is the worst case of this since my method to fix it is no longer working. As you can see in the attached png file certain parts of my edit page timeline are blacked out including the playhead. Even the file names that display on the media are just a bunch of random foreign characters. There was never any reason this should have happened in any of the cases, I would make no changes to my pc or anything like that, I would just open DR and it would look like this even though it was fine a few hours beforehand. The first time this happened I simply opened DR again and everything was fine, the other times I copied the entire project to a new project and that worked, but now nothing is working and I can't find anything about this problem anywhere. I've tried reinstalling GPU drivers, reverting to old GPU drivers, trying different bios versions paired with different driver versions, and reverting the project to a previous save before the issue occurred. I'm still relatively new to davinci, at least in terms of troubleshooting problems like this. I'm on a tight deadline with this project and this issue has delayed me long enough so any information on the matter is appreciated, thank you.

That looks like a redraw issue. A failing GPU or bad driver.

You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
