V Nitro VN7-791 screen is flashing when playing Minecraft

Hello,I just got brand new Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-791. I bought it for playing differnet games. I.m very disappointed when I tried to play Minecraft. The screen is constantly flashing in an irritating way. I tired to update display drivers and fix the video options, but the problems doesn't end. The strange thing is that other games run smoothly, f ex GTA V. Do you have same problems? Can you play Minecraft with your Acers? Any ideas to solve the problem? If I won't find a solution, I want my money back.

YamoZ,
Make sure that the discreet graphics are set to run the game instead of the onboard Intel graphics chipset (CPU) to see if that makes a difference. It sounds like it is driver related, if you have not performed all your Windows updates. Be sure to check optional updates, there might be some there that could address this.

I have an HP Pavilion p7xt that "flashes" when playing Solitaire. Longer I play it, slower it gets.

I have an HP Pavilion p7xt that "flashes" when playing Windows Solitaire. The longer I play it, the slower it gets. It's done this almost since I bought it in January. Any ideas if this is a serious problem for the computer as a whole, or just a quirk in the game? Thanks.

The Solitaire game that I use, by the way, is the standard Windows 7 Home Premium version.
A couple of things happen. The whole screen goes dark for much less than a second, several times. The Solitaire game itself slows down, and clicking on a card may take two or three clicks to make it respond, while down below, the Solitaire icon on the pinned toolbar (I can't remember what MS calls it) keeps "bouncing" sideways, sometimes as many as seven or eight times as it looks like it's trying to "catch up."
Sorry that it's a little hard to describe. Thanks

CPU 100% When Playing Minecraft iMac

Hi There!
As the title says, "CPU 100% When Playing Minecraft". Every time I boot up Minecraft the Fan becomes loud. I have another iMac (Late 2013) Model and it runs Minecraft fine with all the same settings. So I don't really no what to do. But if you could help me try to get the CPU usage down or maybe turn the fan down? Or something like that that would be great!!
My iMac Specs.
Mac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
Processor: 4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB
So Yeah, if you could give me a hand, I would be so much appreciated!
Thanks!

Firefox 3.6.6 Windows XP - often goes to 80-100% CPU even with only one tab open (in this case the one I'm writing this message on). When this happens the only cure is to kill it with task manager and start again.

Screen goes black when playing "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08"

No need to mention that I am very happy with my new iMac. It replaces my G4 MDD PowerMac. The iMac is huge, quiet and fast on my graphic design jobs. I even won´t want to miss the glossy screen.
Yesterday I received the brand new "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08". Keen on trying the game I installed and successfully created a player and got first practice shots but as soon as I try to actually start a game scenario, it appears that the scenario just only loads about 90 % and then screen goes black. From there I can only shut down my iMac with the power switch.
Now I found a support note on the EA Games Site. Title: "Why does "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08" lock up with a black screen when playing on an iMac 7.1?" Answer: "This is caused by a driver issue with the video card that will be adressed by next system update by apple later this month."
Question: is this indeed so? Can I expect a system update soon? Anybody there with the same problem?
P.S.: I checked if I could run the game with a new user. Same problem.
Thanks for help.

Thank you for replying. There are more postings in this forum about that issue. I.e. gamers trying to play Unreal Tournament suffer from the same freezing on the new 24" iMac. Have a look as well at the reviews in the US apple store on this game.
Solution is near. Installing 10.5 Leopard should solve the problem. As I do not want to install Leoprad yet, because some of my graphic apps will not run smoothly on leopard I have to wait for the next update for Tiger 10.4.11
Obviously EA Games is to blame and failed to test the game good enough before hand.

Screen randomly wakes when playing iPod

When I am playing music with the native iPod app the screen randomly wakes when the next song begins playing. It is not consistent but it is normally ~10 seconds or earlier into the next song that the screen wakes and the lock screen is displayed.
I am running 4.0.1 and the iPhone 4 is sitting on the desk when this happens (ruling out "are you pushing any buttons" comments!)
Anyone else experienced this?

I first noticed this issue when I upgraded my 3G to iOS 4. I later purchased an iPhone 4 and have seen this bug on every version of iOS: 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and now 4.1
It's so easy to reproduce, I can't see why it hasn't been fixed yet!
How are you able to reproduce it? I'm unable to, it's totally random. If I'm able to reproduce the problem I'd like to setup an appointment to take the phone in.
4.1 did not fix this issue for me by the way.

Bug: Screen Comes On When Playing iPod and Screen Is Asleep

Not sure if this is iP4 or iOS4 related. Will someone test for me, please?
I turn my iPod on, with a playlist, then turn the screen off. When the song ends and the next song comes up, the screen turns on, as if I had pushed the sleep button. Is this happening to anyone else? Never happened to me on the iP3GS...

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

High CPU when playing Minecraft

My MacBook Pro Retina Core i5 8GB RAM has abou 100% and more usage when playing and my cooling is loud, what to do?

I have searched all over the web too to find any solutions regarding the unavoidable problem of Macs with Adobe's Flash Player. There are little improvements of reducing the high CPU during Flash use on a Mac through changing your main browser to Opera, Camino ... BUT it is still a problem which cannot be solved for now. The following URL is from Adobe's Bug Website and explains exactly what is wrong with Flash on a Mac:
Very High CPU usage and thus High Fan speed.
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-890
Here's another link to a similar problem in the Apple Discussions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8920577
And finally the comparison of CPU usage between Mac and Windows which shows very clear that there's obviously something MAJOR not working and Adobe has to fix it!
http://arstechnica.com/software/news/2008/10/benchmarking-flash-player-10.ars
It is a shame that this problem is out for years and Adobe is NOT trying to fix it, or at least not as intense as they should. So this is the reason why many people all over the world have to live with their Mac running high fan and a hot CPU when just browsing the internet.

Droid Razr crashes when playing Minecraft

My Droid Razr froze up (crashed) twice when my son was playing Minecraft on my Android Razr. Any ideas why? It had been working fine for a month or more until this happened. I downloaded Minecraft Pocket Edition from Google Play (paid version), and everything was fine until recently.

The following will help you find and use it.

ITunes screen flicker/flash when song changes

I recently ugraded to 10.7.5, along with the other suggested updates from Software Update (iTunes, Java, etc). Now, whenever I select a song in iTunes or the playlist finishes one song and moves to the next, my monitor screen flashes or flickers for a second. Very disruptive when you're trying to work. I have no idea if this is an iTunes issue, OS X, or something else. I reapired permissions through Disk Utility and Onyx, but nothing has helped resolve this issue. Any ideas? Thank you!

Same problem here. Must be an iTunes issue after the update.
FIXED: http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/19/show-a-now-playing-itunes-notification-in-the-os- x-dock/
Basically if you had your iTunes dock set up to show which song was 'now playing' as a pop up notification.
You will have to kill that operation, details in the link above.
That link was very helpful. I did not have iTunes set to pop-up notifications of playing songs, but I decided to try resetting the notifications anyway. Beautiful. At first glance, it appears to have solved the problem:
defaults delete com.apple.dock itunes-notifications ; killall Dock
That should do it. Thanks for the pointer to my solution.

Screen constantly flashes when loading flash site

Hi,
I have a sparadic problem, i have been told that occasionally
when the site is loaded the entire page will constantly flash until
refreshed. The problem is on both Mac and PC, and on Firefox, IE
and Safari, which leads me to believe there is a bug, or something
i am doing in the code. It has happened on 2 sites,
www.charlesward.com and www.djhdesign.com
If anyone else has had this problem please let me know if you
found a solution. If anyone is willing to help i can send you the
.FLA.
Thanks for any help,

Hi Path
It does it for me too, not an entire page by loaded images.
My guess is that your
preloader loop action has problem. After loading goes to
frame and comes back to the
loader frame. Perhaps no stop action on the frame where image
is ? There is for sure
a loop, you need to place stop action somewhere and all
should be ok. Beside that
nothing else seem to be making problems.

How to avoid pop up appearing in the screen middle top when playing video full-screen ?

I created a landing page with embedded video hosted on Vimeo. When I click to play the video full-screen there's always a pop up window in the middle top saying the meaning like Vimeo is playing full-screen, press escape to get out of it. I don't want that pop up from appearing, I am wondering if any code I can put on the embedded video to prevent the pop up ? Thank you very much.

No, as a web developer, you can't tamper with that message. The point is to prevent a situation where the user is trapped in full screen, as would happen if full screen is initiated by the page and the page doesn't provide controls to exit full screen.
If users trust the site in question, they can check the "Never ask me again for this domain" checkbox to avoid the message in the future.
Users can also get rid of all such messages altogether:
# Install Stylish and restart Firefox when prompted.

If you don't want to install an add-on, you can use the ''userChrome.css'' file instead, but I don't recommend it. In that file, the first line of the style should only appear once at the top.

Grey screen in iTunes when playing downloaded movie

Since the update from 10.7.5 Server ed. to 10.9 Mavericks on my Mini-mac I have problems with the playback of downloaded iTunes movies. The only thing I see is a grey screen. This not only is the case for playback with iTunes, but also for playback of DVD's.
When I want to play the movie on my AppleTV (from the iTunes library on the same mini-mac) it's no problem. On my iMac: same. No problem.
So it must be something on the mini that handles the playback of copy-protected material. I think I need to remove something and get it installed anew, probably something Quicktime related.
Is there anyone that can help me out?

Oh, Apple, sometimes you drive me mad.

Photos flashes when played in iDVD6

I have an iMovieHD project made from only digital photos with KB effects,titles and transitions.
When each scene selection or play movie is selected in iDVD 6 the first photo has a white flash before everything starts playing.
How can I get rid of this "flashes" ?

Not 100% sure on this since I don't get the exact same results on my own system when i create an iDVD. However, may i suggest that you try adjusting transitions to each photo and see if this helps eliminate the unwanted white flash at the start of your photos. Good Luck.

How can I stop screen going dark when playing movies with night sceans?

When viewing a NetFlix movie, during night sceans, the screen goes dark.

You don't.
Usually only the free apps do this, paid versions do away with the ads.

Screen Bleed - Wrong Screen Shows Up When Playing Project

I'm on Captivate 6.
Creating a demo simulation with a lot of buttons that "Go to Next Slide" or "Go to specific slide. Also have some auto-advance slides based on timing.
When editing, screens look fine. After adding some buttons and hightlight boxes, I then either PREVIEW (both in or out of browser) or PUBLISH (SWF / HTML5 / EXE) and when I play it back, I occasionally will get the wrong background or pieces of the wrong background showing up on the wrong slide.
In one specific case, I took a screen shot of an application with a drop down box in it.   When I play it back, I see just the drop down, but it's superimposed on SLIDE 1.   But, as mention, in the editor, everything looks perfectly fine.
I also have a auto-advance slide that moves forward after a half-second... when I play back and get to that slide, I see a portion of the top of another slide for about 1/4 second... then I see the actual slide.. .and then it moves forward to the next slide.
There is no rhyme or reason as to why and / or when this occurs.   And I can sometimes be 100% fine, but then maybe I cut / paste some buttons / hightlight boxes from one slide to another, and then that slide (which was working fine before) might start having this issue.
I'd like to know if there is a way to easily fix this. It's making it nearly impossible for me to use Captivate to create these, what should be very "simple" demo simulations.

While I never resolved this issue, I did find a viable workaround, better than "republishing several times" (and then having to re-verify every single screen in my demo was correct), which was initially the only way I could get around the problem.
What I have found is if you do a "select all" slides (i.e. click on first slide and then CNTL-A) and then right click and "Mouse - Show Mouse" to show mouse, then follow that up with a right click "Mouse - Show Mouse" to hide mouse... save project and re-publish, that seems to consistently and completely take care of the bleed issue for that particular publish. It's almost as if that does some sort of re-calibration of the entire project to "fix" any issues. (Makes me wonder if "recalibration" should not be a menu option in Captivate that does whatever it is my workaround does to fix the issue?)
Few comments about my workaround:
I want the mouse hidden on ALL my slides, thus the "show mouse / hide mouse". If your project requires the mouse to exist on all slides, do the opposite.
On projects with many slides, this "show" and "hide" on all slides at once can take a bit of time to complete.
Whenever I "show mouse", the default mouse timing many times lengthens my slide time from what I actually desire. So the very first time I "show mouse", I go thru and manually size them all to 0.1 seconds.   Guessing there's probably an easier way to do this, but I got tired of always having to re-adjust my slides after hiding the mouse before publishing.
If your project has mouse visible on some slides and not on others, I have not tried my workaround solution to that. But I'd suspect you'd have to selectively choose slides (instead of CNTL-A) and then "show / hide" or "hide / show" based on whether or not you want the mouse.   On big projects, this could be annoying!
I am attaching a screen print to illustrate my issue. I've had two others in my company on different computers that experience this exact same issue. I was a bit surprised to not find more "complaints" about this online as, at least for me, it's more than just a random happening.   I am publishing to SWF and HTML5.
I have also noticed a similar thing occuring when using the "MEDIA" publish to an .exe file. In at least one of those cases, my "hide / show mouse" workaround did not seem to work.
At least for me, this was a workaround solution that made using Captivate viable for my needs. Otherwise, due to my large number of projects with many slides, I would have had to investigate and change to a different solution.   The "republishing several times" option would have taken too long and also not have provided me comfort knowing my problem was actually fixed on every slide.
