Screen flicker when resizing certain windows larger ( browser window or services.msc window)

Hello, I have a H535 Desktop running Windows 7 with a A10-5600 processor with HD7660D graphics. When I make the Window larger by pulling it diagonally to the right and down or (in particular, the browser or services.msc windows) I get a black line or band that flickers or redraws the right and left sides.
I noticed that this happens in Aero mode or using any of the Aero themes, and it doesn't matter if transparency is on or off. BUT, if I change to the Basic Theme or Classic theme no black flickering occurs.
Now I checked my graphics card driver and it's updated with the most recent Lenovo AMD driver. Even when trying to update the driver, it says that I have the latest driver installed. Also tried uninstalling some drivers and letting MS reinstall them. No Dice.
Is this a MS issue? Do any of you have the same issue when you make the Services.msc window larger by pulling diagonally to the right and down and the same time?
Thanks.
Grazzie

Problem went away overnight i never did find out why it did it !!!

Screen flicker when copying to desktop

I am experiencing a sudden screen flicker when I copy files or folders to my desktop? Doesn't seem to affect the system in any way, just very annoying. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix for this?
Thanks, Rick

Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

Screen Flicker when swiping to home screen?

Has anyone noticed a screen flicker when swiping from page 2 to page 1 of apps? Happens every single time. It only flickers when arriving at page 1 from page 2 of apps, never in any other page or search screen.
I have a 16GB iPhone 4. Never saw this on a 3G iPhone with iOS 3.1.3

I got my iPhone 4 replaced 8-7-10 (3rd) iPhone 4. Yes I see that flicker as well. I'm extremely disappointed in apple. I had the iPhone 3G and got that phone replaced 4 times. Now I'm on my 3rd iPhone 4, why do the iPhones have so many problems? Whenever I go to an apple store I see tons of customers getting their iPhones replaced. We pay a lot of money for this phone and in the end the phone has problems which results in multiple replacements. We buy apps, movies, music, cases, batteries etc. Apple boasts about how great the iPhone is, I've yet to see that "great" iPhone.

Screen flicker when the CPU is working

My macbooks started to flicker when the CPU is working, I'm using bootcamp and it doesn't seem to flicker when im using Windows XP.
Anyone had the same problem or got any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Interesting... I see a few possibilities of what could cause the problem:
1. It could be a software issue. I can get mine to stop doing it for several days by making a setting change in System Preferences > Energy Saver. After several days, it starts doing it again.
2. It is hardware, but not the screen. It could be some component that controls the screen brightness. However, it does not start when I dim the screen with the F1 key on the keyboard. So it may be something with the power management logic hardware.
I have the feeling it is in software, judging by the fact that your screen replacement did not fix the problem, combined with the observations I have made with my own MacBook.

PDA screen flicker when updating control properties

Hi all,
I'm developing a mobile application for Windows Mobile 5 using LabVIEW 2009 SP1 and the Mobile Module. After coming to terms with many of the limitations, I've got a simple menu driven interface working. The interface consists of a transparent 240x320 picture control to which I draw the menu item text using the Draw Text At Point VI, along with an icon representing the menu item. Behind this picture control is a second picture control which contains the selection graphic to show which menu item is highlighted.
The problem I'm now facing is an annoying screen flicker every time a control property for the selection graphic is set. Specifically when the user navigates the menu using the up/down arrows on the device, the menu selection on the screen is moved using the Position->Top property to move it to highlight the correct menu item. Whenever this property is set, the whole screen flashes white and redraws.
Presumably this is due to the top level picture control being redrawn when the underlying control is updated (which makes perfect sense), but I wish it wasn't so noticeable.
So a couple of questions:
1. Is there any way to enable double-buffering of the display from the Mobile Module or on the device itself?
2. Is my picture control behind picture control design flawed? I would use a system listbox for the menu but it's a bit ugly, and doesn't support icons/symbols under the Mobile Module. Other limitations of the Module Mobile (like string controls that can't have transparent backgrounds) led me to use picture controls as the best overall solution.
Cheers,
Michael

Thanks everyone for the feedback.
I just did a day's worth of testing using C# and .NET for Windows Mobile (in Visual Studio 2005) and was able to reproduce the same interface without any flickering issues. Not having to poll the device's hardware buttons is also a positive
The key is to override the main form's OnPaintBackground() method.
From "Crafting Smartphone User Interfaces Using .NET Compact Framework":
OnPaintBackground
This method needs to be over ridden to prevent the OS from repainting the background each time the user navigates the ListView, causing flicker. If you don't need a background then just override this method but provide no implementation.
So it looks like I'll be doing things in C# for this project. As the mobile device won't be used for data acquisition, the Mobile Module isn't a necessity. I just hope .NET's serial functionality is as good as LabVIEW's!

IPad 2 screen flicker when quickly sleep then wake. can people test this on their iPad 2?

Hi.
As the title says if i quickly press the sleep/wake button a few times quickly there will be a screen flicker with lines on the screen for a split second, can people test this for me to see if it's software related? 3 of the 5 ipad's i've tested this on has the issue. Does your iPad 2 do this? thanks

This is happening to a lot of iPad 2's. Glad it wasn't just me.
I had my first iPad 2 from the uk launch day and I was disappointed when I realised mine was showing significant lines on the screen when it was activated. It gradually got worse until the point I had to take it back tothe retailer I bought it from (comet uk). I was appaled with their 3 DAY retun period. But, after a loooooong phonecall to their head office and AppleCare and with a great deal of arguing they gave my money back. I then bought one from the apple store. Got home and found that the SAME THING was happening. But worse.
Took it back yet again and got another that finally works.
Just to let you all know it is a hardware fault and it isn't normal. Take it back to wherever you got it. It isn't a software glitch either as I updated to the latest at the time with no luck. Tried wiping all my data off it too with no luck.
I've lost my respect for my iPad 2 and apple as it's ridiculous that everybody hypes the products and then when you spend all that money it doesn't work. Third time lucky though, eh?

Starting random apps and screen flicker when scrolling

My Touch 2G suddenly started to launch random apps without me touching the screen. Besides starting random apps the screen flickers when scrolling. Any body have experienced the same? It started about 1 month ago and I have always taken good care of it. I have tried every possible thing I can think of when it comes to software. Full restore, jailbreak, full restore, back to factory, back to earlier versions of IOS, but no luck. It is pretty persistent. I am sure it is hardware related and don't mind paying to have it fixed. I tried two repairshops already and they were not able to recover the reason for the malfunction. I wonder whether there is anybody who has experienced the same or even knows what is wrong?

Hey Kimwaldal,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like the devices are opening things on their own. You may want to follow this article to make sure the screens are working correctly.

Screen flicks when using miniDVI - S Video on WinXP

Hi -
I have installed WinXP using BootCamp. Now when I try to use miniDVI to S-Video the screen on Laptop flicks and the TV shows 'no signal'. I tested this on OSx10 and seems like this setting works and I can see the extended screen on my TV without the laptop screen getting flicked.
Can anyone help in finding the problem. Would appreciate the help.
Thanks,

Hello rmj49,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the computer display flickers when using the AMD driver. The issue is probably related to hardware, but there are a couple things I would like you to try fist:
First, please uninstall and reinstall the AMD Driver according to these steps:
1. Go into Device Manager, then Display Adapters.
2. Right-click on the AMD driver, and select uninstall.
3. Restart the computer. This will force a driver to be reinstalled.
If that doesn't help, my other suggestion is to update the computer to Windows 8.1. Using the AMD driver in a different OS might work.
If nothing works, I would contact HP phone support to address the actual AMD card itself. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks!
Mario

New Imac screen flicker when dimmed down

Hi guys, I got my new Imac about a week ago, aside from the whistling and dead pixels in the isight, are any of you guys getting screens that are sort of flickering when you start to dim them down. The light dims and filckers very quickly. It's kind of looks like the old CRT's at a slow refresh rate and is becoming really annoying. I was wondering if this is normal for all the Imacs. I'll be getting a replacement because of the dead pixels in my Isight, but this will also be something to look for in the new one. So it'll be good to know if it is normal.

Well, this is definitely a hardware defect and it appears to be wide spread. I took my iMac back to the Apple store today and the Tech saw the problem too and exchanged it for a new one (since it was within 14 days). Well, got that one home, and it had the same flicker issue. Two hours later back at the Apple Store, they saw the issue with the replacement machine too, but not with any of their floor models. So, they took that one back too and are doing a writeup to send it back to Apple so they can diagnose the problem.
The replacement iMac they brought out for me this time we setup in the store and confirmed did not have the display flicker issue when the backlight was all the way down.
So my suggestion is if you have this issue, take it into the Apple Store and have them replace it or repair it.

Screen Flicker When Using Slide Bars in Develop Module

Image below shows 6 core usage during edit of an image using LR 4.2RC. Image import was running in the background. This only occurs when I use the develop module sliders (it doesn't matter which slider).

At this point, I think I will have to go back to LR 3.x. Lightroom 4 is so unstable that I cannot get it to work. I constantly get not responding messages and screen flickering in the develop module.
I have done everything I can find and nothing seems to work. It is either an incompatibility with the AMD video drivers (best guess) or there is something seriously wrong with the code (second guess), however LR 3.2 does not have this issue.

Screen Flicker when using Lightroom

I'm helping a friend try to resolve a problem he has when using Lightroom. He's using a Dell Inspiron 546 desktop with an AMD Athlon II X2 250 (3.0GHz, 2MB cache), 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM (800MHz), ATI Radeon HD 4350 (512mb), 7200RPM drive, Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit).
When Lightroom runs, the screen flickers and the CPU pegs out at 100%.
Are there any known ways to overcome this issue?

Screen flicker when running battery power?

Hi MSI Fans!
Do you guys have the problem when your screen flickers very badly when running battery (unplugged)\
If mods know how to solve it, it is appreciated if you post here. Thanks a lot!

Quote from: Svet on 07-November-14, 06:09:31
try set gpu to max performance from control panel power profiles
note make sure to edit the right power profile which is used when the notebook is running on battery only
Quote from: DerekQ on 07-November-14, 06:53:46
KK I will do that the next time I will use the laptop but really, the battery life is bad and I have to use even more electricity to power the laptop to avoid flicker?
Hmmm it flashed right after a unplugged the computer but for some reason it isn't flickering, maybe when the battery gets low then it flickers? Since last flicker was just about 2 days ago.
Any advice?
