My screen in Photoshop keeps flashing black

What do I do? Everytime I am working in Photoshop my screen flashes black, and the entire image goes black.

If using Win8 known problem with OS and GPU.  Newer drivers are better but MS still has not fixed bug.

  • Desktop screen keeps flashing black and dock has disappeared. iMAC X Yosemite 10.10.1

    Recently I updated my iMac to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. All was operating smoothly for a few weeks until one day i started up and logged in my dock was nowhere to be seen. The desktop screen started flashing black replacing my desktop image. None of my desktop icons disappear when this happens. screen keeps flashing black every few seconds. Also the dock has disappeared.
    I have restarted in safe boot and it makes no changes.
    iMAC X Yosemite 10.10.1
    Please help!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool?

    why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool? It has never done this before last night. It filles the Whole lasso seleted box with (what it almost looks like) black and white caution lines. then when I go to zoom out, my zoom option starts to mess up where you cant click and move your mouse to zoom in/out with ease but where you have to click to zoom out (many times).
    Can ANYONE help me?

    I am using CS5, WIndows 7, I am not sure how to tell if my drivers are up to, and I am more than happy to screen shot it.

  • My iphone 4 keeps flashing black every 5-10 seconds, what is wrong with my iphone ? how can i fix it? helppppp

    my iPhone 4 screen keeps Flashing black and whenever I try to tap an app it will flash 3 times.
    this has been happening since last night .
    whats wrong with my phone?
    how can i fix it?

    Hey there Antoinetter101,
    It sounds like you cannot use any apps on your device without the screen flashing at you, making the phone unusable. I would start by quitting all the apps on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • T400: Annoying Screen Brightness Meter Keeps Flashing

    I have looked for the setting this in the Thinkvantage power settings panel but haven't found it.
    The issue is that my T400/xp when running on battery keeps flashing the screen brightness meter -- vertical green lines with sun icon on the left end -- at the bottom of the screen while I am working.
    I assume, the brightness is re-calibrating depending on the battery power. (I do not have battery stretch enabled.)
    Is there anyway to turn off this particular feature so that I don't have to get distracted by the brightness meter while running on the battery? Thanks.
    The screenshot is here: Thinkvantage brightness panel: (I don't see an option for posting inline to messages on this forum.)

  • Workspace in Photoshop keeps going black

    When using the pen tool in Photoshop, everytime I click the workspace goes black. When I searched this it instructed me to uncheck the 'use graphics processor' option from preferences but this has made no difference.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated, especially as I have uni work to get in by Friday.
    Cheers

    Latest version of WHICH version of Photoshop?
    Creative Cloud can install CS6 and CC.
    GPU is your video card chip.
    And which OS version are you using?
    These are not technical questions, just basic usage questions...

  • Brightness keys not working anymore and screen frequently flashing black and staying black!

    I had my macbook pro in for repair twice last month. They replaced the logic board and had to take the screen off and look at it due to there being a potential crack. Now, when i got the macbook back the first time, after replacing the logic board, everything was fine, the brightness keys did not work at first but a restart fixed the problem. 5 days later i had it back in so they could look at the screen because i thought there was a crack on it, which turned out just to be some debris on the inside! Still had to pay a 50 quid inspection charge!
    ever since the macbook has returned from this the brightness keys have had a delayed response in that, when i increase or decrease the brightness it took about 10 seconds for the screen to actually change. This happened everytime.
    A few days ago for no reason, the screen started to occasianally flash black. It wasnt a problem at first, but sometimes it flashes back and stays black so i have to restart my computer. Sometimes when returning from sleep it stays black as well. On top of this, the brightness keys have completely stopped working all together now.
    My laptop is not in warrenty anymore, it ran out after i got it back the second time. I was too busy with work and i needed to use the laptop so i couldnt really sort anything out.
    Is there any policy saying that if the laptop comes back from repair and has new problems not caused by the customer, but by the repairer, then they will fix it free of charge?
    Many thanks

    nobody can help??

  • Hi, my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatedly. if I'm using my phone or in an app it will just go black then light up to the home screen and it does this over and over. Then the power off option will pop up. what should i do

    Hi my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatdly. I will beonmy phone or in an app and it will go to a black screen and then light up to the home screen. Then the power off option will pop up. I have tried letting it die and recharging it and powering it off neither worked. Does any one have an idea on what this could be or what I can do?

    If the Slide to Power Off option is coming up, that suggests your power button isn't working correctly and is sticking.
    Best thing to do is bring the phone to an Apple store (make an appointment first) and have a Genius take a look at it.

  • Black screen w/white apple & circling timer screen keeps flashing on

    I bought a refurb iphone 4 and it was freezing a few times or saying this app needs to be connected to wifi or can't get mail without connection the last few days and today the black home screen with white apple along with a circling timer (don't know what to call it) keeps flashing on and off at random when I'm trying to use the phone.  Also, when I plug it in to be charged it does it repeatedly even though I'm not touching it.

    Did you do any basic troubleshooting - Restart, Reset, Restore?   See the iPhone User Guide, Appendix B. 
    Is this phone jailbroken?
