Weird Flicker problem

I don't know whether I am barking up the wrong tree so to speak, but I think I am having problems with my Geforce FX 5900 Ultra. I am running a 22" iiayma on the system which is a P4 3.2Ghz with 2Gb RAM. I built it about 6 months ago and it has been fine up until today, but When I move windows around on the desktop, the screen underneath the window does not update properly, and becomes corrupted by graphics that were in the window that was moved. Also, when playing games now, the game sort or pauses for about 5 seconds and then the monitor clicks as if changing resolution, and then the game screen becomes corrupt!
I ran the windows troubleshooter which was rubbish and told me to turn down hardware accelaeration which I did, but this made things worse. I have checked all the temperature settings and the graphics card is not going above 57 degrees centigrade. As I said, I have only had this system for around six months and I don't think that I could have worn it out yet! Can anyone provide any help?  

When you installed the new card did you uninstall the old drivers first? If not or even if you did try this:
Download the most current driver from the nVidia website.
Uninstall the current driver via the Control Panel. DON"T REBOOT!!!
Disable System Restore on your machine.
Run Driver Cleaner. Get it from the sticky at the top of this forum.
Run Driver Cleaner a couple of times to ensure all the old drivers are gone.
Reboot the system.
When prompted to install a driver for that card cancel out of it.
Double Click the downloaded file from nVidia (i.e. the new driver)
Then follow instuctions from there...let us know what happened please?

  • Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

    I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
    I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
    The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
    After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
    Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
    You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
    O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
    You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
    I hope someone is ably to help me ?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

    Log Message:
    - Fix flicker problem with constraint bound text that is being autoSized.  If the remeasure is done in a 2nd pass you will see a flicker as all the objects are moved to accommodate the reflowed text.
    - Fix data binding issue with text setter.
    - Rework measure() to accommodate implicit autoSize.
    If explicitWidth or widthInChars specified and explicitHeight or heightInLines specified, or for now, blockProgression != "tb", the text has fixed dimensions and is not auto-sized.
    If no text and width specified, but no height, start at specified width and one line high and grow taller.
    If no text and height specified, start at 1 char wide with the specified height and grow wider.
    If neither width nor height specified, and toFit lineBreaks, start at explicitMaxWidth, or default maxWidth of 160, and grow taller.
    If neither width nor height specified, and explicit lineBreaks width is unlimited and can grow taller.
    These are further constrained by min/max Width and Height except in the case that explicitWidth or explicitHeight are specified.
    - Change default maxWidth for RichText and SimpleText to 160 to match RET.  Previously it was 10000.  This is used for
    text with toFit lineBreaks if a width isn't specified.
    QA Notes: 12 or so TextGraphic tests fail because of the new default maxWidth.

  • 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

  • Weird audio problem during calls

    I have a weird audio problem and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or could help...
    My wife and I both have iPhone 5's and sometimes (not all the time) when she calls me (or I call her), it connects, but no matter which audio input I choose (phone, bluetooth, speaker, headphones), I cannot hear her, but she can hear me... I hang up, call back (and when I call, there is no dialing sound, nor any other phone sounds) and it's the same thing. Sometimes restarting the phone works, other times I have to restart it 3-4 times before it'll work again.  I try different things during these calls, like turning on/off bluetooth and/or wifi (pretty much anything I can think of that would make a difference), but nothing seems to help.
    The (other) weird part is that after the last time of this happening, I tried calling my iPhone with my office phone and it worked fine, so then I immediately call my wife back with my iPhone and it was doing the same thing again. I called her back using my office phone and could talk to her fine...
    This problem has been going on for a few months now and I have tried restoring the phone a couple times (and I am on the latest iOS) and sadly, that hasn't done anything to help... Does anyone have any ideas what is going on? I'd make an appointment for the problem, but since it doesn't do it all the time, I don't know what good it would do... But it is getting very frustrating!
    Thanks for any help!
    -Jason

    Thanks for the response!  It happened again yesterday...  It seems to be happening more frequently in the past few weeks now.
    I checked the link and have tried all of the things listed at one point or another over the past few months.  I did just check my Carrier settings and it said it had updated (it's on 14.1), but I am not sure when that happened (could have been today, could have been after my last restore last week, not sure).  I'll keep my fingers crossed that maybe that fixed it...
    If it continues to act up, would you recommend that I bring the phone in to an Apple store or an AT&T store?  I bought the phone through Apple, but my carrier is AT&T (and if you suspect that the problem may be with the cellular conection), maybe the AT&T store would be the better choice?
    I really wish the problem would be more consistant or go away, cause trying to get the problem solved is driving me crazy!

  • Light Flicker Problems

    Hi There,
    I've been having some problems concerning a video I'm making. After importing all the Video I've noticed a flicker problem on the image. Its almost like a very small glow of light that is that is constantly flickering. The footage was filmed in the U.S and edited in the UK, so not sure if its to do with the difference in Hz from the ceiling lights or if theres an uneven exposure from the camera? If theres anyone who would know how to minimalise the flicker problem on Final Cut Pro it would be a big help.
    Many Thanks
    Matt

    There most certainly could be a frequency problem with lights. Are they flourescent or sodium lights? Those kind of lights do pulse and are more problematic when used in slo motion captured material.
    Also you can get problems with these lights with shuttered movie cameras and telecining to tape. Throw in the NTSC > PAL conversion will only exacerbate the problem!
    Can you post an example clip?
    The flicker filter in FCP won't help as that only corrects interlace problems.

  • MacBook Flicker Problem - on Leopard?

    Hi!
    Just to see any possible solutions, if anybody with the flicker problem has the possibility to install the OS X 10.5 (Leopard), please let us know if the flicker is present also on Leopard.
    As far as I saw by now, it happens under Windows XP in BootCamp with various users.
    Thanks!
    Cristian.

    Your right checking a bug would be OK. Problem is they couldn't tell us about it because it involves Leopard, that is where the NDA applies. Also there is a lot of time between now and October so even if it existed at this moment it may not still be there in October when Leopard is released.
    I guess I have been lucky I haven't had the flicker problem.

  • Flicker problem with shadow and highlights?

    Does Premiere CS6 have the same flicker problem when using Shadow and Highlights as CS5?

    Honestly, my recommendation would be to use another effect.  There's usually more than one way to get the same result, and some ways work better than others.

  • Slooow internet and weird mouse problems?

    I recently upgraded my iMac to Leopard (10.5.4) and started having weird mouse problems. At start up, mouse would be frozen in upper left corner. I'd restart, switch mice, restart, over and over. I use a Wacom tablet w cordless mouse plus Apples alum cordless keyboard. Eventually I tried switching USB ports for my Wacom tablet and the mouse was OK. I have learned that when this problem occurs, I need to shut down and unplug everything. That seems to solve it. Anyone know why? ALSO, ever since upgrading I have found the Internet to be appallingly slow. I have 2 GB memory and just upped my internet speed (supposedly) through Embarq.

    hmm, what is a mouse usb or a keyboard usb?
    arent all the usb ports same?
    I really wish to show you how this happens it is really fun, but also annoying. especially when I am playing a game. it is interesting to watch the screen when suddenly all the world starts rotating when you are playing a first person shot'm up.

  • KT6V Weird boot problems

    Hi..
    I'm having this weird boot problem (and no it doesn't seem to be the standard one)
    OK..
    I have the following :
    AMD Athlon 2000+
    KT6V LSR mainboard
    2x 256 Crucial PC2700 memory
    IDE Hard Disk (120gb segate)
    Creative 5700ultra Graphics card (AGP)
    Cd Rom
    Chieftec 400w PSU
    WinXP Pro
    If I set my CPU FSB to 100mhz (everything else on auto).. win Xp pro boots fine and all is pretty good except that my chip is now seen as a lowly 1.25ghz..
    If I then set my CPU FSB to 133 or 166 then the machine boots (ie it beeps etc..).. starts to load windows xp (I get the logo and that's when the problem happens)  and either black screens (ie.. nothing and the monitor turns off) or blue screens with the windows message saying that windows has detected a hardware fault and has halted the system..
    I know my memory, chip, heatsink etc all work because just over an hour ago they all worked fine in my KT3 ultra.
    What is going on as I've tried almost everything to try and solve this, with the only option to set the FSb to 100mhz which is incorrect for my CPU.
    How do I fix this.
    I've looked through the forum but this is not the same problem as simple reboots.. this is weird.
    If I can't fix this then I guess it'll be send it back.. which is a shame because I like MSi motherboards.
    Thanks
    Slippery

    Hi..
    I've checked the CPU heatsink.. and nothings wrong !
    (Can't check the voltage but I know the PSU is Ok as I did run it in a custom case with 4 Cd writters, 4 HDs, loads of lights etc.. before I moved to this new plain case tonight)
    What's weird is that set at 100FSb it's fine but at 133 or 166 it just crashes after the loading XP logo is displayed. Up until that point it's all fine.
    But why does it run Ok at 100mhz and not 133mhz ?
    Please help..  before I end up fixing this with a hammer !
    Thanks
    Slippery

  • Very weird monitor problem, betcha can't solve this one.

      OK I have a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz with 4GB of Ram, it's fully up to date with Lion, and is connected to a Formac W2300-1U 23 inch TFT Monitor (DVI, VGA, 1920 x1080, 1000:1, 5ms, 400cd/m²) through a HDMI to Mini port adaptor.
    Now, the problem is the monitor flicks off, then on, at first I thought it was just randomly, but today I isolated the problem to something specific that make it happen. When I open the preference panel, and click on 'Trackpad' as soon as the video demo starts to play the monitor switches off then on.
    It's totally weird, what on earth could be causing this? Any ideas?

    ok well i have no idea what happened. i started out again with a fresh installation of JBoss, and it worked. no clue as to what was wrong. musta been some JAR that was out of place or something.
    thank you for your help!

  • Weird Javascript problem on Safari and other web browsers

    Hello,
    this is actually pretty weird. For the past several weeks I have been dealing with a very strange problem which I believe relates to JavaScript. To be more specific I have an issue with two websites: Macuser.gr and Facebook.com.
    As far as Macuser.gr is concerned this is how it's supposed to look:
    http://f.cl.ly/items/0j1J123Y2D0t1C2U3b1f/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .04%20PM.jpg
    and this is how Safari renders it:
    http://f.cl.ly/items/3N0V3I1c0Q0a1r0K0e1C/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .40%20PM.jpg
    The problem is with the preview images as you can see.
    Now, in Facebook there's this annoying white line where it isn't supposed to be:
    http://f.cl.ly/items/0k0i2c0T0q1h3t2j2s3e/Screen%20Shot%202013-02-06%20at%202.25 .52%20PM.jpg
    I have tried and tested everything (Guest user, different browsers etc) and all it comes down to is JavaScript. Disabling Javascript seems to fix everything immediately. Enabling it again and this mess occurs. Also, this happens with the latest versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox BUT not with Camino 2.1.2 although it has JavaScript enabled in it.
    This is really frustrating and it appeared out of the blue one day. I did not have this problem from day 1. Any ideas?

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
    Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results.

  • Weird mouse problem (clicks not being performed, -)

    Recently I am suffering from a really weird problem.
    The middle mouse button shows a really strange behaviour:
    I'm using KDE from [extra], and middle clicking e.g. a link in a webbrowser (no matter which toolkit it uses) instead of opening one tab, opens the link in several tabs.
    Also middle clicking on a tab, normally should close *one* tab, while here it often closes more than one tab. Since this happens in every application I use, no matter which toolkit is used, this cannot be a KDE/Qt problem, since e.g. Firefox is affected by it too. I also doubt that GTK is the cause of this problem…
    [The middle clicking problem has been solved, by cleaning the mouse wheel]
    [The problem below, still persists]
    Furthermore, sometimes my laptop looks like it enters a "state", where my clicks are not "performed" the normal way:
    E.g. I had a media player running, when my laptop got into this "state". No matter where I clicked on this app, the clicking action was performed on the Play button. Using Alt+Tab to focus another window/bring it to the front, and clicking in this window anywhere again resulted in the Play button getting clicked.
    After quitting the media player app (through a keyboard shortcut) my clicks still did not work normal. They still simply were not performed. In order to "re-gain" the ability to click, I had to log out first.
    Since I've setup my Arch Linux not to automatically start X/KDM after logging out, I found myself in the terminal, where I ran startx, in order to run KDE.
    The terminal still had some output of my X session, but it wasn't displayed with normal characters, but rather with some weird characters, looking all scrambled and stuff, as you can see on the screenshot. http://imagebin.org/100067
    I currently use the packages from the testing repo, but IIRC this behaviour was there even before installing the testing repo packages.
    Extra information:
    kernel26 2.6.34-1
    xorg-server 1.8.1-1
    nvidia 195.36.24-2
    xf86-input-evdev 2.4.0-1
    I run Arch Linux x86_64 on an Acer 5741G Laptop, with a NVidia Geforce GT 320M.
    Interestingly, another user who suffers from the same bug is running a computer with intel graphics, so it probably is not the nvidia driver causing the problem either.
    Originally the bug was reported as a rekonq bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238987

    Hello,
    I seem to suffer from the same problem. Sometimes (perhaps triggered by amarok, but I have to investigate this further before blaming this app) the left mouse button stops working. I can not perform left-klicks anymore. Everything is fine with the right button. If I log out and in again the mouse if fully back. In this loop X has not been restarted.
    My setup:
    KDE 4.4.5 (official packages)
    X: X.Org X Server 1.8.1.902 (1.8.2 RC 2)
    kernel: 2.6.34-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT
    architecture: x86_64
    mouse: Logitech MX1000 Laser (Logitech, Inc. MX-1000 Cordless Mouse Receiver)
    If s.o. will ever work in this I will be happy to provide any information I can come up with.
    Cheers and good night.

  • Weird display problem with iMac 24"

    Hi guys, I have a very weird problem with my 24" iMac. For some reason it seems that after approx. 10 minutes using the Mac, whenever I keep a window on top of another window and then I minimize it, it keeps there like a ghost for another 5-10 seconds until it fades away slowly slowly.
    Sometimes it's hard to see it however it's very evident when using a white window (such as Safari) on a dark background (not black).
    I'm attaching an image split into 2 parts, the 2nd part is shot exactly after I minimised the browser. It clearly shows a faded ghost image on the grey Photoshop canvas.
    Here's the pic:
    http://www.neilazzopardi.com/imac.jpg
    Has anyone ever experienced a problem similar to mine? or am I getting paranoid?
    By the way, I bought this Mac, 5 months ago and I don't know whether this problem has been there from the beginning but I only noticed recently while cropping in Photoshop and still seeing the parts I removed away very faded.

    den.thed it's not that I took it the wrong way or anything but shouldn't I be doing whatever I like with my iMac?
    For the record that is a dark grey Photoshop canvas, which just happens to show the problem much more evidently.
    The problem is that it happens on any background (even desktop) with any window, even Adium etc. Their ghost just stays there for a while... I use the iMac for design purposes and it's very annoying especially when cropping a picture and what I just cut out stays there very faded...
