Gtx880 black screen flickers.

hi.
i have a problem i got my self a new gtx 980 msi card and i played games for a week with no problems but now i have a black screen that shows evry sevral minets
most of the time in games looks like the monitor is lossing the signal for a sec and turns back on. same in the windows but more rarly.
tryed to install nvidias hot fix but still the problems is there and its crazy to try and play like that. any one knows how to fix that ?
specs.
bios of the video card is -- 84.04.1f.00.02 (driver 344.80)
motherboard asus p8h61 m lx r2.0
processor i7-3770 cpu @3.40ghz
op - win7 64bit
PC Power and Cooling Silencer PPCS500 500W
video card msi gtx980 4gd5

To me it would seem that you don't have powerful enough power supply. For your build, 600W would be recommended.
3770 can take around 100-150W, 980 can take 300-400W under full load.
it could be that your gpu is not getting enough power, so it starts flickering.
You should upgrade to Corsair 600W or 750W psu. (Corsair because it's one of the quietest and highest quality ones for good price.)

Black Screen Flickering in Photoshop

Hello everyone,
To my dismay I just noticed a black flickering on my screen when I was using Photoshop CC. It was when I was zoomed in on the image but I noticed that it streched the who screen length. I'm hoping it is just a photoshop issue and not some sort of hardware issue. I have the application frame turned off in photoshop so it may be possible that is why the flickering exceeded the image frame (technically the program is edge to edge on the screen if the frame is off).
I admit that I am posting this before doing more tests but it's really unnerving to see it on a new Macbook Air. For reference, I have a core i7 2013 Macbook Air with 8GB of ram.
I'm going to try to simulate it in a minute or so. This time I will adjust the frame.
I appreciate any input if you have had this issue before or are currently experiencing it.

MSI 4890 OC Cyclone - Black Screen , Flickers , Polygon , Streaks , BSOD Issues

I purchased the MSI 4890 Cyclone OC and whenever I launch a video or video game it goes black like the monitor was in standby mode. Audio is still playing, but I can't do anything unless I restart the computer. Sometimes it will flicker first then go all black. All video clips show artifacts or some kind and black and white line streaks horizontally across the display. A couple times it would give me the BSOD.
I did everything I was suppose such as wipe out old drivers, install latest drivers (9.8 catalyst), temps are good, etc.Both DVI and RGB connectors do the same thing.
What's going on here? This card has given me nothing, but headaches. Any help would be appreciated!

Test VGA in another machine then, as i doubt in Ultra's quality.
I did and it is doing the same thing. I have been reading around and other 4890 owners had encountered this problem.
I click on a video file and it would freeze up to a black screen, and throw me VPU recover errors. Temperature 52c.
This thread describes exactly what is going on with my card:

Windows 8.1 update - S440 ThinkPad black screen with flickering cursor.

Hello,
Sorry if this is answered elsewhere.
I have an S440. I've had it for one week. Two days ago I downloaded the Windows 8.1 update from the store. Since then, when I start up the computer, it doesn't even taken me to the 'sign in' screen. There's just a black screen. When I move the cursor, it briefly appears, flickers, then disappears again.
I understand this is an issue with the graphics drivers. So I ran Windows in safemode and disabled Intel R HD Graphics family and AMD Radeon HD 8600 series graphics drivers.
This, unfortunately, hasn't fixed the problem. It still boots to a black screen with an occasionally flickering cursor. I'm currently running in safemode.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi
I also have an S440 and have tried 3 times to update laptop without success including updating all drivers and updates inc those from Lenovo.
Is there a fix for this? Is this an AMD issue?
My laptop is also very new and cannot believe it is incompatible with windows 8.1.
Tried the compatibility checker with Windows 8.1and it didn't report any problems.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/upgrade-assistant-download-online-faq
Is there anything that can be done to get this working?

My screen flickers/fades to black

Screen flickers, sometimes fades to black screen completely, have to hold down power/home button at same time for a few seconds until Apple icon shows back up and sometime it doesn't. Any solutions to this??

First I would buy the correct charger from your local Apple Store or Apple reseller. If that doesn't solve the problem and if the machine is covered by warranty or AppleCare (yes Apple warranties are transferable) make an appointment at your local Apple Store and take it in.
Good luck,
Roger

Macbook pro screen flickering brightness/black screen?

on saturday night I was using my MacBook pro and drinking water when my friend made me laugh so I accidentally spit like 5 drops of water onto my macbook screen. the drops leaking down into the base, not exactly the keyboard but just right under the screen where it would drip down. a instantly got a towel and dried it off but the macbooks screen statted flickering off and on. then it went permanently black but it seemed like it was still on. I tried to hold down the power button and it would make all the on and off noises just the screen wouldn't work. it would maybe flash for a second but then just go dark. I made the mistake of not turning it completely off when it first happened because I didn't know what to do but after maybe 10 minutes I turned it off and opened it up and kept it upside down the whole night to let the water come out if there was any. the next day around 12pm I turned it on and everything was working completely fine. no problems or signs that eer spit the water. then the next day (Monday) half way thru the day I was watching Netflix and I noticed every 5 minutes or so the screen would dim no matter what brightness I had it on and after a couple seconds it would go back to regular brightness. after like an hour it started doing that more frequently and it gave a black screen until I moved the cursor. I paniced and shut it off for the rest of day thinking it would be better the next day. well the next day (today) I turned it on and it was even worse. it's almost like the screen is having spaz attacks every 2 minutes. it'll go dim or bright randomly and then go black until I move the cursor and when it gowa dim there's these weird bright lights things coming from the bottom of the screen. but other then that the macbook works completely fine. iit's still usable, and the screen spasms are annoying but I could live with them. but first I want to make sure it's not going to get worse and worse everyday and just permantly die soon. im only 15 and Ive been dreading telling my parents what happened but if i have to replace something I have to tell them. I've tried researching what I have to replace but no one has my exact symptoms. I think I'd either have to replace the Lcd (whatever that is??) or the inverter. someone please help, thank you!!

My iPod has a flickering black screen and will not turn on. What can I do?

I accidentally left my iPod in my car for a few hours. It reached about 80 degrees outside, so I am worried. It did not turn on at all. Afterwards, I let it cool down and it still will not turn on. I plugged it into my laptop (PC) and it still does nothing. If flickers between two shades of black, but it does not do anything. I am starting to think it may have affected the battery. I have been experiencing problems with it not wanting to turn on without being plugged in for months now, but I did not really do anything about it.
I need help. I do not know what to do, so any form of help will be greatly apreciated!

I was afraid of this, to be honest. I kind of figured that I broke it completely.
I no longer have a warranty on it because I have had it for about three years, so I do not even know if it is worth taking in or if I would be better off with buying a new one.
If I were to replace the battery, would that help with the display or would it still be flickering a black screen?

MacOS X 10.7.5 screen flickers in black and freezes for 2 minutes

Recently noticed a problem - in Finder, column view (this is important) if I select a pdf file (noticed only for pdf) screen flickers quickly several times in black color and the whole system freezes (except mouse cursor) for 2 minutes (I've measured with timer). After that, everything goes normally, file preview is displayed on the right side in Finder window as it is expected to be and file can be normally opened with Preview app.
Can anyone suggest on this? Where should I start looking to for more information (any logs)?
I have MBP late 2008 aluminium unibody with 4GB RAM, 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo.

Recording of screen flickers black?

I'm trying to just record videos of me playing Starcraft 2, but whenever I start FMLE my mouse flickers not just when I open up Starcraft but when it records my desktop too, and when I try to watch the playback of the video my screen flickers black and back on. Are there any settings that I might need to change?
Pentium Dual-Core 2.5ghz
4gigs of ram
Nvidia geforce 9800 GT

If showing mouse is not important, you can disable the "show mouse", "show clicks" and "track mouse" options of VH screen capture.
And what is the CPU usage while encoding? Is it too high?
You can also use other sceen capture softwares such as Uscreencapture.

My iPad is suddenly not loading any apps. When I click on an app, the screen flickers to black and then back to normal, but will not load the app. This is ALL the apps, not just one. Have tried rebooting, to no avail.

Was a Restore one of the things tried.? [Attach the iPad to your computer and in iTunes click on your device. On the Summary page click on Restore and go through the process. Be sure to click YES to Restore from a previous backup.]

Screen flickered, then went black (faint windows can still be seen)

i was just working on my powerbook and my screen flickered on and off and turned black. the best way to describe this is like what a lightbulb does right before it blows out. what is wrong?! i am trying to type this as fast as i can before it starts doing it again. is my LCD frying?

Might be bad Power Management Unit settings - following instructions to reset PMU.
Otherwise, there are 3 likely hardware related causes:
1. Failing LCD Display backlight - needs replacement
2. Broken/Intermittent ribbon connection - needs soldering and/or replacement
3. Failing LCD backlight Inverter - needs soldering and/or repalcement
For all 3 of these screen would require service for technician....call Apple if you have warranty.

HP Monitor L1710 -- power light flashes green when I turn on PC, screen flickers black w/ no image

Hello,
Last night I turned off my PC w/ a HP Monitor L1710, which I did not turn off. When I turned on my PC this morning the screen does not "turn on" -- the green light next to the power button flashes on and off, and the screen flickers between shades of black, like it's trying to turn of. This PC usually is not turned off at night (this is a work PC, and I just started to working at this desk (almost) never turned the PC off at night, so I wonder if it has something to do with that. I've turned the PC on and off multiple times, unplugged the power cable (for the monitor) and cable that runs from the monitor to the PC. I believe the PC is on (cd drive opens and closes, recognizes my phone when I plug it in to charge), so I don't think that is the problem.
I see a lot online that it may be stuck in power saving mode.
Any thoughts? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated

Hello @tom_degennaro,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that your monitor is not coming on when you turn on your PC. I am setting out some steps for you to try for you to try below:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the monitor and the wall outlet
Step 2. Hold the power button down for one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then the wall outlet (not a powerbar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the front of the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it.
If the issue still persists after the above steps try the monitor on another computer. If the monitor still does not work at that point then, it appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.
If however the monitor works on another computer you have an issue with the computer it was originally on. If the computer is an HP computer I would be happy to assist you with, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for the computer. I am linking an HP Support document below that will show you how to find your product number. As well, if you could indicate which operating system you are using. And whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit as with this and the product number I can provide you with accurate information.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Which Windows operating system am I running?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Please re-post with the requested information and I would be happy to provide you with assistance. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
