Vbios request r9 280x screen flicker problem

Hello,
I own a r9 280x video card and I'm having the screen flicker problem that others have as well. I would like to request a new vbios that would hopefully fix this problem.

  • Macbook pro retina screen flicking problem

    I bought this 15 inches Macbook pro back in Nov, 2012. And I have the screen flicking problem in Dec.
    The problem is the same here listed on youtube. You can find hundres of them just by searching "retina flicker" on youtube.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko6WCqw20ZE
    And I did a lot of researches on this. I had also gone to the Apple Store 2 times, one Genius Bar Staff told me this has to be a hardware problem and offer to fix my laptop, others said it might be a software based problem and adviced me to wait for the new system update. I don't have time for a long fixing so I chose waiting. That particular one who told me to wait for the next software update also encourage me to dig deep and tried to find the root cause by myself...and I did. I found my screen flicking problem could caused by cellphone inteference. And It seems that the Wi-Fi antena is also a key component here. If I turn off Wi-Fi completely, the flickering went away.
    Some solutions I found online
    1. It can caused by Enable Safari webGL. So disable webGL and turn off develop mode
    2. Disable displaycard auto switch in Power saving tab
    3. Close the lid put the sytem into sleep and re-open the lid
    4. stop using Wi-Fi. That's right people, try disable Wi-Fi!! It's the only working solution for me.
    5. It could be caused by CDMA cellphones including US Verizon brand cellphones and many others. GSM cellphones are OK. Try to turn off your cellphone or drive to a empty plaza and try to see your laptop still flickering at your car. Turn off your cellphone when You do this.
    What doesn't work
    Reboot
    reinstall OS
    go to Apple Store and change Logic Board (Someone reported that after logic board change, the problem came back after a while)
    Let me know if you guys have any findings, Thanks!!

    I'm sure that you've seen the problem with 'burn-in' and 'ghosting' on some MBP-R machines in threads on this forum. It doesn't seem to be an overwhelming problem, but some have reported it.
    Did you buy it from an Apple Store or online? Either way, you need to get tough with Apple. Tell them you need to keep your computer and, when they deliver a replacement to your local Apple Store, you'll bring it in for exchange. That's what they've been doing with most people that have had MBP-R problems - I've never heard of them requesting that you send your computer back before they will exchange. Did you contact your local Apple Store or was this response from an AppleCare phone conversation. If the latter, take it into the Apple Store, explain what you want to do, and I'm sure that they will work with you.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Has anyone got the screen flick problem solved?

    as above thanks.
    (i am starting to get irritated of the flicking screen)

    finally got my computer back with more problems than I sent it in with I think. They put in a new logic board, battery, and super drive. I no longer can see my serial number in the about this mac window. also, the battery is loose and sometimes the meter reads 0% and sometimes it will not turn on. I dont know what the deal is. The people that fixed it are in the middle of selling the store so I dont feel like deeling with them for a while until they get all moved. I might just call applecare in the morning or something. I hate this, I am having the worst luck with all my electronics lately.

  • Screen flicker problem with T420s, from power-on -- before OS loads, even before boot.

    I've just bought a new T420s and installed Debian GNU/Linux on it.  Had no screen problems the first few days.
    This morning when I turned it on, the screen was flickering -- like it was doing a very slow refresh rate or something.  Extremely noticeable, and quite annoying :-).  Interestingly, the flicker started from the moment the screen came alive, when I turned the power on.  It persists through the boot loader sequence and into the operating system, etc.  I have powered the machine off and back on several times since then, but the flicker is still here.
    Now, there is one interesting fact:
    The last thing I did, right before the flicker started, was use the laptop with a dock + external monitor.  Not dual monitor, just a single external monitor -- the laptop's lid was down when it was in the dock.  The external monitor worked fine; at one point I opened the laptop's lid just to see what the screen looked like (I was curious because the external monitor's dimensions were very different from the T420s screen dimensions).  The laptop screen had garbage on it -- a kind of distorted, miscolored, and mis-aligned version of my usual operating system desktop.  But that didn't bother me -- I was using the external monitor, and didn't need the laptop screen for anything.  I closed the lid and kept working.
    That night I powered it down in the dock.  This morning I packed it up and took it to work.  The first time I powered up, this new flicker was there.
    Does it have something to do with the fact that I used it with a dock and/or external monitor?  It seems suspicious that the problem started right after the first time I did that.
    By the way, this is a T420s with the stock video card, not the fancier Nvidia card.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    hey kfogel,
    welcome to the forums.
    could you remove your Nix and place back the original OS ? I would like to know if the flicker occurs when your unit is on Windows or if it occurs while it is on Debian.
    if the flicker doesn't occur when you have windows installed; i would suggest heading over to http://support.lenovo.com and update your whole unit before attempting to use Debian.

  • Do Core 2 Duo Macbooks have the screen-flicker problem?

    Hi,
    I have an Intel Macbook (single core) and the screen has started to flicker regularly (its a problem that has built-up over the six months I've owned it....) I'm going to take it for repair, but was wondering whether the Core 2 Duo Macbooks have the same problem... if not, I might consider e-baying mine and geting a new one...
    Any responses much appreciated.
    Steve.

    From what I've heard... Apple corrected all those problems the first generation Macbooks had in the C2D model. Even though no computer will be perfect, these are a good improvement.
    You're much more likely to get a "good" macbook, I think. It's a great purchase (though you may want to wait till after macworld), enjoy it when you get it!

  • Lightroom 5.2RC Screen Flicker in Library Grid Mode

    Hi,
    Having a screen flicker problem since 5.cRC came out, but only in Library/Grid mode when scrolling or selecting from the grid. But only when there are more images than can fit on one page in the grid. 
    Seems to use an unusually low amount of memory with nothing else running on the system.
    PC/GPU details are:

    I've been having the exact same problem with Lightroom 5.2.  I also have an Nvidia card, a GeForce GT 610, and driver version 327.23.  One additional part of the problem is that I can hear almost constant disk access when in grid view mode in the library module.  That seems to be related to Lightroom refreshing the display as I scroll down through the images.  On newly imported images, it takes about two seconds for each thumbnail to just display the keyword symbol in the lower right corner.  After the first time scrolling through all the images, it goes a bit faster.  Even then, CPU usage goes up to 80% just by selecting a new group of files.
    It almost seems like something is making it take a long time to build each thumbnail and sync all the information that's associated with that thumbnail before it will let you do any other work with it.  I don't think it's really associated with the dislay driver.  I never had this problem with LR 4.4, it's just since I upgraded.  I also never had an ealier version of LR 5; I went right to 5.2 from 4.4.

  • Temporary Solution for screen flicker r9 280x

    After performing various tests I've fixed the screen flickering on my msi r9 280x, I hope this can be useful for all here with the same problem and with different patterns of R9 family, that I have running on my pc and I have not had even the slightest flicker playing youtube videos where the problem became acute.
    1 open the task manager and end the process Catalyst Control Center: Monitoring program and also the Catalyst Control Center: Host Application.
    2 Go to C: \ Users \ XXX \ AppData \ Local \ ATI \ ACE right click on the Profiles file, in the end the general menu select Read only, accept.
    3 Again right click and select edit, and file searches within these lines
    <Feature name="CoreVoltageTarget_PCI_VEN_1002&amp;DEV_6798&amp;SUBSYS_27751462&amp;REV_00_4&amp;320ACFF0&amp;0&amp;0010A">
    <Property name = "Want_0" value = "850" /> CHANGE THIS VALUE OF 850 FOR 900 only
    <Property name = "Want_1" value = "1200" />
    This value changes the low voltage in 2d (resting) 0.85va 0.90v
    4 then go to the File menu, select Save As, in writing profiles.xml nombe save.
    5 Again right click on the profiles file saved on the desktop and select read-only
    6 Go back to Go to C: \ Users \ XXX \ AppData \ Local \ ATI \ ACE and remove the profiles file.
    7 copy or cut and paste into C profiles saved file to your desktop: \ Users \ XXX \ AppData \ Local \ ATI \ ACE.
    8 Finally go to task manager and then click on file to run new task, we write MOM.exe there and ready, restart the pc for security.
    to ensure that its voltage is at 0.90v use GPUZ and check the end of the sensors tab.
    note that if we use the application msi afterburner not enable Unofficial Overclocking mode option because in themselves to have it on and change the clocks video card testing restores the voltage 0.85V.
    when I play some games I use msi afterburner like msi Gaming app since I have experienced that without the Gaming app clocks fall then at 300mhz after making this process voltage, I recommend you use to see, as an example in msi afterburner I apply the core clocks of vga 1100 and Gaming active app one of the two profiles, the Gaming mode or the mode Oc down and watches only parameters selecionados 1020 mhz or 1050 mhz vga respectively when accelerating up to 1100 mhz selected msi afterburner.
    I hope this is useful that I share as many as we can not believe that to date no actions are taken to this problem taking into account the value of the video card. Maybe this and many what they knew, but there will be many who do not and those like me tried in many ways to carry it out and not succeeded because that's how I achieved step by step and fully functional, sorry if some way I can not explain to clearly as I do not speak English and I'm using a translator, and hopefully serve them again, I just do it to help them all and hopefully once and for all of the annoying screen flicker go ...

  • How can I reproduce my screen flicker so they'll believe me?

    The intermittent nature of the annoying screen flicker on my Macbook makes it difficult to show a tech that it is a real problem and not some figment of my imagination. Does anybody know of a "sure fire" way of reproducing it? I have been able to recreate the rapid dimming and brightening of my Macbook screen by moving the brightness indicator all the way to the left and then bumping it up one click. This only works sometimes and it only works when I do it by clicking and dragging on the ball on the display screen in system prefs. It doesn't work by using f1 and f2. I made a video of my screen while it was flickering and put the video on the desktop. I'm sending it in as soon as my box arrives on Tuesday. They're also replacing my stained top case. I hope they will look at the video and at least test the inverter and cable to see if they're the problem. Any help with how to encourage them would be greatly appreciated.
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I am the victim of this problem also. The screen flickering & brightness of the screen suddenly fade to low intensity. The screen flickering happened everytime I use my MacBook.
    May MacBook was the initial Jun 2006 version.
    I already get those problems (a) sudden shutdown (replace the logic board), (b) palm rest area discoloration (change the bottom case), (c) power adaptor pin contact problem (replace the new one), (d) poor performance of battery life (awaiting confirmation from local Apple support, 180cycle max. charge only 50% of initial capacity) & (e) screen flicker issue (today just send in my MacBook for them to do diagnostic).
    I really lost confident with my MacBook.
    Should I request a replacement of entire MacBook?
    My warranty period will be expired mid of next month & the are asking me to purchase the apple protection plan. But, I claim that the unit is poor in initial build quality & why I should considered the plan. It is unfair to me.
    If the MacBook is in good condition then I will consider the plan for support another 2 years (fair), not in this reverse way.
    Anybody please guide me how to pursue this matter.
    I previously own an iBook G4 & PowerBook G4 TI don't have these problem at all.

  • Screen flicker on iMac 21.5" (2011, Lion Pre-installed)

    My iMac has been purchased a month ago, and probably the first batch in Singapore to be pre-installed with Lion.
    I have been experiencing screen flicker since the first week. It's a slight flicker that happens randomly for duration of less than a second, and occurs approximitely three times in an hour. I have slight yellow tinge on my screen, but it's negligible, and I'm not concerned.
    During the flicker, the screen does not go completely blank like what many 27" users are experiencing, the flicker resembles the flicker of a candle light.
    Is anyone experiencing the same problem? Will a future software update fix this issue?
    Although chances are slim, I'm hoping Apple can replace a new set for me. I'm very concern that if they are just going to repair my set, it will take time and it may come back with other problems. I have called Applecare and their advice is for me to bring in to authorised service centre, unfortunately I don't feel confident that they will be able to solve the problem once and for all.

    Thanks for taking your time to reply!
    I feel relieved knowing that it's not a hardware issue, so I'm definitely not bringing in for any repair, the technicians might just make things worse!
    Anyway, something really unfortunate happened when I was trying to do a clean install of Lion. I rebooted my iMac into the Lion recovery partition and erased my hard disk without a second thought. Then went back to initiate the reinstallation procedure, only to be greeted by an error 'Could not find installation information on this machine. Please contact AppleCare.'
    I contacted them and performed some basic resets, and finally did a 'zero-out' erase of my drive. And I'm still getting the same error. A search on Google reveal only a few people who had experienced the same. Hence, my iMac became completely useless overnight.
    It's a shame AppleCare doesn't operate round the clock, I tend to work long hours and could not find an appropriate time to talk to them. I would like to make a request for them to mail me a copy of Lion in any media, so I can install Lion back onto my iMac. Maybe they don't offer anything that sort, but I'm still going to try! This problem is annoying.
    I'm glad you can revert back to Snow Leopard, Lion has it's attractions, but problems outweigh its features.

  • 13" MacBook Pro - Screen Flicker / Windows 7 Bootcamp

    I have a 13" MackBook Pro with Retina display that I purchased last December (8 months old).  I am running Windows 7 in Bootcamp and the last few months the screen flickers on occasion (becoming more frequent).  I launched the Mac OS to ensure I have the latest updates and I believe I do (nothing new to install within the Mac OS).  Majority of the time I'm hooked up to an external monitor / lid is closed, but obviously that is a challenge when traveling. 
    I did do some searches and see other posts around screen flicker issues, but those appear to be on the Mac OS side.  What is odd about my scenario is that it only seems to appear on the Windows 7 side.  I can't seem to find a fix for this / really would hate to have to reload the machine.

    Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my brand new 15" MBP right now.
    The only problem I'm having is the USB controller issue that is reported in the following thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2411685&start=30&tstart=0
    I ran the Boot Camp assistant, made the partition, rebooted with my 7 DVD, formatted the partition, performed a clean installation, & then installed the drivers from the OSX DVD when Windows booted the first time.
    Replaced the NVIDIA drivers with the latest Verde release. 258.96notebook_winvista_win7_64bit_internationalwhql.exe
    Everything seems to be running just fine at this point.

  • I have just fixed my screen flicker (Software only)

    First of all, please note the below procedure is to be tried at your own risk.
    The basic idea is to add a custom refresh rate to the system (70Hz Vertical) and use it instead of the default one (60Hz).
    What was my flicker like:
    Continuous, felt like watching and old TV (European, 60Hz) and feeling the ripples. I had no sudden changes of backlight intensity, and the flicker became obvious when using a matte background image, usually grey or blue.
    What I had done:
    While searching for any clues on how to check/modify the display refresh rates, I found a thread (really sorry for not putting the link ... forgot it) where the poster recommended a small program (SwitchResX Control) to create a poll of faulty LCD manufacturers. I have downloaded the software and finally I managed to fix my flicker
    Step 1:
    Get the program at http://www.madrau.com/switchres/SwitchResXControl.zip. You should use the native resolution for the MacBook (1280x800).
    Step 2:
    In the program, go to the Custom tab. Press the + sign to create a custom setting. In the 'Timing Parameters' window, after making sure all the parameters are the same as the normal 1280x800 setting, set the vertical scan rate at 70. Also, check the 'Positive synch' check-box. Save everything and reboot.
    Step 3:
    Open System Preferences, then Displays. Now you should have the Refresh Rate drop-down option enabled (should be 60). Select the 70 setting. Save and reboot.
    Step 4:
    You should have a flicker-free display now.
    Feel free to check http://www.iedutu.net/macbook for pics taken during setup and settings from my machine.
    Please remember:
    0. If anything goes wrong, select Factory Settings, save and reboot.
    1. This thing worked fine for me. It might not work for you. If you have done all steps and still have a flicker, you might have a genuine hardware problem. Like I mentioned before, I did not have an extreme type of flicker, nor a random one.
    2. This should be tried at your own risk. I think setting a different refresh rate cannot damage your hardware, but I'm not a hardware guy, therefore I hope nothing will go wrong with my MacBook too .
    Have fun!
    Cristian

    I looked over a number of mac forums and I can say that there are two separate flicker problems:
    1. Continuous flicker, obvious on a blue/gray wallpaper when dimming the brightness. Flicker not visible on full brightness, growing while dimming the display. At 50% brightness the display is very usable, flicker visible only if you are actually looking for it. My take this is a software problem (found few people saying the flicker is gone in Windows XP in bootcamp, but present in OSX).
    2. Random flicker, ranging from almost visible to flashing screen. Comes at random times, with or without the power adapter plugged in. Can appear in all sorts of combinations/situations. I do not want to assume anything here, but I feel this is a hardware problem based on the YouTube clips I saw.
    My case was the first one, thank God and hopefully it will stay like this, although I saw MacBooks on display with no flicker whatsoever.
    On the second case, I think a trip to an Apple Service Center would fix it. Unfortunately there is no known faulty module that changed is fixing the problem for everyone with the random/continuous flicker. Everything from logic boards to invertors to displays were changed with mixed results. But it seems the invertor is being changed in most cases and most people are happy with the result.
    My 2c.
    Have a nice day!
    Cristian.

  • Macbook Pro 13 Early 2011 ocasional screen flicker...

    I bought a MBP 13 early 2011 i5 new about 2 weeks ago. Over the last week or so I get an occasional screen flicker. I lasts about a second and that is it. I had a MBP 13 2010 for a year before this one and never experienced this problem with that one. I am running Lion and all the software is up to date. I guess I am wondering if anyone else with this model has experienced this, is normal, or should it be something I should be concerned about. Thanks in advance for any answers on this. Also not related to heating either, temp is running the 40's, and just web browsing.

    Call Apple Care.   You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.  Otherwise, you have the standard 1 year warranty and 3 years if you purchased Apple Care.
    Take FULL advantage of your warranty.  Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired. 

Maybe you are looking for
