When was the last time it worked without these issues (date)? I will need a few details to provide an accurate solution: Please only assume the issue is hardware as a last resort cause I really need the computer on a daily basis to work and can't afford waiting weeks for the you for joining HP Forums.Īs I understand the Screen is flickering and flashing while gaming,ĭon't worry as I have a few steps to help resolve this concern, PS: I bought it online and it was shipped, but I reckon the computer was fully protected with dampeners (plastic air bags) all over the box. Thanks in advance! Looking forward to your replies For instance while im typing this post on chrome and the game is running on the background I still get some flickering/flashing but less often. but this issue literally only happens while playing games - regardless of the games' graphic settings (I even tried having them at lowest possible). Now I'm honest, I don't know anything about the graphics configuration, and the Nvidia's control panel isn't 'noob-friendly' so I don't even know where to begin changing the settings there. I already turned VSync on (in-game), and even tried setting it to 'half' meaning the graphic card should be 'strangled' to output half the screen's max fps (or so I was told) Let me reiterate that this is occasional, sometimes it gets really bad, but mostly happens every few minutes. So while playing games (and I only play Runescape NXT very rarely, not sure why I even bought a gaming PC) the screen occasionally flickers: sometimes totally shuts down for a split second and resumes ok, other times it gets some horizontal black lines.and most times it's a mix of both.
