R9 270x Multi-monitor flickering.

I'm using a 24" AOC E2460SD flat panel monitor as my primary pc display. However, from time to time, i extend the monitor to my 50" LED T.V. to watch movies and the like. However, when i extend the desktop to both monitors to dual screen, my 24" pc monitor gets a flicker across the bottom of the screen. The screen itself doesn't jump or move, it just flickers across the bottom. Sometimes when i exit a full screen application like windows media player from the 50", the entire screen area of the 24" monitor goes crazy with flickering to the extent that i can barely see anything, and i have to hold in the power button on the pc to turn it off.
Now, the windows on the monitor are fine, i can interact with them behind the flickering, i just can't see them well enough to actually do something constructive. I've tried to turn off the monitor, but that doesn't rectify the issue. I've completely uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled my video drivers and rebooted, and that didn't help either.
I've reinstalled Windows 7 x64, i've updated the monitor drivers and have tried various driver versions for the card, but the problem persists.
Please help.
EDIT: CCC says i'm on BIOS 015.040.000.000. I don't know if that's good or bad.

Try with the attached vbios.
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (102.rar) and put the included file (TV303MH.102) on that stick.
Rename TV303MH.102 to 102.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 102.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

Multi-Monitor PSE 9 Corrupt Display

Multi-Monitor PSE 9 Corrupt Display
Evening all -
First post here at PS Gurus. I hope that you guys can lend your expertise in pinning down an issue that I am having and have also had on other PS versions. I am running
Windows 7 (64 bit) Ultimate
2600k / 8 gb ram / 256 Samsung SSD / 460 GTX 1GB
Matrox Triplehead 2 Go with x3 22" monitors (resolution 5040 x1050)
A fresh install of the trial version of PSE 9 is yielding corrupt main toolbar and options bar (for each tool selected). The application is expanding full screen on all three monitors just fine but the toolbar are corrupt - partly transparent / party compressed to the left. No matter what I have done in terms of resizing the application window the results are the same or get worse.
On another computer I installed PS CS5 (also under win7 64 bit environment) and I was having the same issue. However, at the time I thought the install was bad in some shape or form so I dropped the issue.
I am now considering PSE 9 but see that Win7 + Matrox just isn't working correctly with this combination of hardware / software components.
Has anyone see this issue or know of a potential fix? I have read a couple of threads on the net with similar issues but I don't see any resolution. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks-
Benjamin

My main reason for testing PSE-O 9.0 was to find out if this "bug" was fixed. I can not use PSE-O to organize and show pictures the way I want to with this weaknes in place. Your answer is probably correct, bun not at all helpfull.
So thank you for trying, but my test of PSE O is over for now.
Does anybody out there know of other products that will do the trick?

HDMI Monitor flickers

I have an VGA Monitor connected via adaptor to the HDMI port as a second Monitor to my Thunderbolt display. The VGA Monitor flickers and it was suggested to upgrade the firmware. But the system tells me the firmware is not for my system (Mac mini Model A1347 from autumn 2011).
How can I fix this problem?

What monitor(s)...?
If one has (Digital) DVI input, then you should use it on the HDMI port with the Apple Supplied HDMI to DVI adapter and a good DVI cable.
If both have (Digital) DVI input, then it would be best if the second one was also on a Thunderbolt/MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter instead of analog VGA.

Monitor flickers

Greetings,
I have a new mac mini with 16 mb memory, 2 T hd and acer 24" monitor connected to the DVI to usb connection. Latley and from some unknow reason , the monitor flickers every once and a while.
Is there an issue with the mac mini? Or the video card in the mac mini? Or is there some issue with the monitor compatibility?
Cheers,

Computer Monitor Flickers

My computer monitor flickers if we tap it on the side it stops, then starts up again, sometimes we go hours and not problem, other times it drives us nuts, We have a Gateway computer, it works fine except for this monitor problem, it was purchased in 2004, it has a "nvidia GE Force 2 MX 400 video card, I checked with Nvidia and tried downloading the latest driver but then the computer wouldn't start so I had to go back to a previous date so that the computer would start, do I need to look at getting a new monitor? IF so what sort of monitor would be best, someone said the resolution would not be good on a wide screen, but the only ones I have found at Best Buy and other places are the wide screens. I hope someone can suggest a solution so we can enjoy this second computer and stop hitting the monitor
thanks Lea

I'm having a similar flickering problem with the LG widescreen LCD monitor which came with our first Vista computer (an HP desktop, purchased about a year after Vista came out). It mostly only seems to flicker when I'm playing games with animations in the graphics (such as Civilization IV or Astral Masters). The most common suggestion I found (f.ex. in the HP Help & Support area preinstalled on my computer) was to increase the refresh rate. Doing this has not eliminated the flickering, but has lessened the severity somewhat (it just flickers as vertical lines or bars at 75hz; at the default of 60hz it flickered as both vertical and horizontal lines). I ran HP's Monitor Diagnostic Tool (which included a simple wireframe animation), and it didn't turn up any problems.
Hockeycanuckjc's suggestions sound pretty practical, and I'll try them. I've also seen on another thread on this board that Nvidia graphics cards (my HP computer has an Nvidia Geforce 8500GT) can have issues with the drivers, especially after Windows Vista has just automatically downloaded its latest updates -- so it's possible that the graphics card driver could be getting cranky (though I haven't yet confirmed or denied that theory in regard to my own computer).
I think my HP computer is still covered under its Extended Service Plan (though I'd have to check the sales receipt to be sure), but I want to do as much troubleshooting as I can before calling Best Buy tech support, so I'll be able to explain my problem more knowledgeably, and hopefully not have to jump through as many hoops as usual before they authorize an in-home service call.

Lenovo Monitor Flickers constantly

Hi All,
I have a Lenovo L197 Wide connected to a Server 2003 box (also lenovo) and the monitor flickers constantly. The refresh rate is set to default and I can't change it to see if it has any effect.
Anyone any ideas?
Cheers
Andy.

welcome to the forum.
are you using fluorescent lights nearby? if so, does the monitor still flicker with the light(s) turned off?
have you tested the monitor on another computer, with a different cable, with a different video card, or a different monitor altogether with the server 2003 machine to eliminate any variables?
if the above checks out then your L197 either has a defective inverter or its backlight is failing. warranty is your best option in this case.

Uix 2.2.8 multi monitor related bug

Hi,
I have a multi monitor system, on the seconnd screen, there is the browser , showing a page which has a Date Picker and a LOV. If I click on one of the icons, the window opens, and then all of a sudden jumps to the first screen with IE, with Mozilla it already opens on the first one. Same screen would be nice though.
Bye Jan

Hello Jan,
In the UIX javascript code the newly opened window's coordinates are checked to make sure it is not partially off the screen. If so, the window's coordinates are adjusted to put it on the screen.
I think there is a bug in IE which doesn't treat the multi-monitors as a single monitor, or something like that. Unfortunately, I doubt we can do anything about this.
Are you saying it works in Mozilla, correct?
Thanks,
Jeanne

Multi monitor cursor swapping

I've got three monitors lined up and I'm looking for a way to instantly center the cursor on a specific display to avoid dragging it everywhere. I know there's a software called Multi Monitor Mouse for Windows which is supposed to handle that pretty well. So do you guys know a corresponding software or script for mac or is it possible to run the win. app in OS X via 3rd party software?
/Erik

Is the question clear or should I rephrase it?
I need a keyommand to move the cursor from one screen to another.

Multi Monitor - different Screeen Saver for different monitor - Setting for notebook computers...

Hi,
I have a question about the multi monitor, screen saver setting for Windows 7. I'd like to know 2 questions.
1.) if I can set different screen saver settings on different monitors
2.) If I can do it, can I work on the external (or non-primay) monitor, when I have the primary monitor with "blank" screen saver?
Basically, I put my notebook computer at the docking station at work, and the docking station is connected to a 22" monitor, desktop keyboard and mouse. So, at work, the 22" monitor and K/B would be my primary use. However, I still "flip"
open the notebook monitor for dual monitor use.
I'd like to "save" the notebook monitor when I don't use it for 30 min. or so... I'd like to "power" it off or set it so that it would only turn on if I move my mouse to that screen.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks

Hi
There isn't any way to do what you are describing.
The reason is that both monitors have the same source for the video. You can extend the video to the second monitor, but this just gives you more screen space.
The screen saver will only display on the monitor that is set as the default and when the screen saver starts, the other monitor will be blank.
Hope this helps.
Thank You for using Windows 7

Multi-monitor SW is affecting VMware performance on Helix

I have discovered that running multi-monitor software like Matrix desktop management is affecting the VMware Workstation 10 guest performance so drastically that virtual machines become literally unusable. Similar experience is reported by other people using different multi-monitor software like DisplayFusion, see https://communities.vmware.com/message/2315099#2315099

ATI card + OS driver + multi monitor

Hello everyone,
I'm stuck configuring the RadeonHD drivers for multi monitor setup. The system starts with both screens cloned; logging in is in clone mode too. After that the second display is being turned of (no signal). Using xrandr --auto will enable the second display to life and clones the sreen again. xrandr --output DVI-I_1/analog --left-of DVI-I_2/analog will create a big desktop only the second display can only be used for a half screen mouse will go further anything else will not.

Mouse pointer is unchangeable at 100% scaling in multi monitor setup with different resolutions

Hi there, I have been asked by one of the moderators of the Windows 8.1 forums to post this topic here. You can see the thread relating to this post here
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-tms/cant-change-the-cursor-pointer/ae8ad8a0-3ded-4810-a3be-794f6c4830a4?msgId=2bd7082f-f5d1-4b01-8c70-e0d2a754d66f&page=1<o:p></o:p>
The problem: The mouse pointer becomes unchangeable in size, type, trails etc when 100% scaling is used. As in it reverts to the standard small white non-inverted, no trails,
no shadow 'pointer', no matter what options you select in the 'Mouse' control panel settings.<o:p></o:p>
This appears to be a scaling problem with the Windows 8/8.1 display, not an actual mouse problem. Judging by my own and other peoples experience it seems to happen mainly with multi
monitor setups where different screen resolutions are used. The issue occurs typically when 100% scaling for all monitors is used or this option is un-ticked and the 'change the size of all items' is on smallest (equivalent to 100%). <o:p></o:p>
If the scaling is set to 150% or greater the issue disappears and the mouse pointer becomes fully functional. Also bizarrely when the scaling is set to 100% if the screen is recorded
using a screen capture program, the recording of the screen shows the mouse pointer selected in the mouse options and not the default small white cursor that is present when recording it. Here is a link to a video where I explain and show the problem
happening on my system. http://youtu.be/xs2cxoeaq-A<o:p></o:p>
I have every update installed without exception, latest drivers etc. I use a 55" 4k screen with 2x1080p monitors in portrait on either side. All are connected through 1 Nvidia
GTX 780 6GB graphics card<o:p></o:p>
Hope you can help us<o:p></o:p>
thanks<o:p></o:p>

Hi Jon,
I'm looking into this issue but it will take me some time to provide a reply.
In the meantime I noticed that you have 3 monitors with 1x 55' and 2x27' - please have a try to only connect 1x27' monitor and see if issue persists.
Also please try to change the screen resolution to a lower size and see if issue persists.
Both suggestions are not solution, I just would like to know if it is related to multiple monitor or screen resolution.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Get the current active monitor handle in multi monitor environment

Hi,
I have a requirement to get the HMONITOR handle of the active monitor in multi monitor environment.
i.e; Get the HMONITOR of the currently selected monitor
Thanks in advance

Hi Chris Lewis,
Thanks for quick reply.
I'm referring to the monitor, where a window is invoked
I want to identify from which monitor, my window was invoked, so that I can create and show the window in that monitor.
I had already tried using MonitorFromWindow(). But it always give primary monitor handle.
My Code:
HMONITOR hMonitor = ::MonitorFromWindow(myMainFrame->GetSafeHwnd(), MONITOR_DEFAULTTONEAREST);
hMonitor always refers to Primary monitor, though window is invoked from Secondary monitor.
Thanks in advance

Multi monitor issues with resolution(?)

At a customer I have got a really strange and annoying problem. The customer has got a Hyper-V VM with 2012 R2 Server as a RDS server aka Terminal Server.
One user has got issues with his multi monitor setup. The connection settings seems to be OK. It is set to full screen and the checkbox for the multi monitor configuration is enabled. Theoretically this works because the user sees a correct setup with one
primary display and one secondary display. The settings itself are correct.
1. Primary display: 1680*1050
2. Secondary display: 27" 1920*1080
The display settings on the client are nearly the same except that the numbers of the two monitors are different (those numbers you get when you click identify at the resolution change window). On the Windows 7 client the primary display
number 2 and the 27" has got the number 1. On the Terminal Server the primary display has got the number 1 and the 27" display has got the number 2. But the corresponding resolution at the display number is correct.
Now the problem. Everything seems fine, the desktop is expended. But when the user is "touching" the top or bottom edge of the screen the display is scrolling (in full screen) - like in a 3D game scrolling over a map. The user told me that
both screens are scrolling equally at the same time. I am not sure but the user told me that if he is going to the bottom the CLIENT task bar appears. Changing the task bar of the client to fixed the user told me that the task bar will always show up. - Strange
that CTRL + ALT + BREAK does not work.
I tried to press CTRL + ALT + BREAK twice, changing the resolution to a fixed value and back to full screen again, changing the primary display to the new 27" monitor, adding smart sizing:i:1 to rdp file and upgrading the Intel HD
4600 laptop graphic drivers (must be downloaded from Lenovo :/). NOTHING helped :(.
But this strange behavior does not exist on the client. Opening two programs (simple notepad e.g.) on each display and maximize them and moving the mouse the screen borders won't show this problem. It only exist on the remote session.
Now the "funny" part. If I connect with Team Viewer to the client the problem disappears as long as I am connected. If I disconnect the problem shows up again.

Hi,
This is most likely a problem with the local machine's graphics driver and monitor configuration. I would suggest trying different things like removing and re-installing the display adapter and its drivers, removing the second monitor/restarting/adding
the second monitor back, adjusting the multi-monitor settings in display properties (changing between extending the desktop to the second monitor and not), undocking/restarting/docking, changing between different modes using Fn key on laptop (if laptop), etc.
The behavior under Team Viewer is likely because the graphics configuration is different when the driver is active.
I wish I could give you more precise instructions on how to resolve the issue. I have seen this behavior (panning desktop, multi-monitor config not exactly right) probably 3 times over the last 5 years, always with a laptop, and I had to "play"
with the settings before it finally went back to normal. The instances I have seen it occur did not involve Remote Desktop specifically.
