  2. Monitor continuously flickering black and white

    So I have a Gigabyte G27QC Gaming Monitor that has started flickering just black screen with flashes of white occasionally. What I think caused this to happen is I have a PC that’s running windows 11 and in the settings I saw an option to turn on HDR and thought to myself “why not turn it on? My monitor is HDR compatible”.

    Soon as I clicked that option to turn HDR on my monitor just went black and started flickering. I can’t even log onto my PC since the screen WILL NOT stop flickering. Idk what to do. Do I try booting up in safe mode? Idk what to do.

    The monitor works fine when I switch HDMI channels to my PS4PRO and I’ve just got my PC back from the company that built it for warranty work because I thought the flickering was an issue with my PC but it’s all fine they said.

    TYIA for the help

  3. Monitor Dim and Flickers

    I have a new Dell Inspiron 3668 cpu and running it with my old Dell ST2010 I have run the windows "troubleshoot screen flickering in Windows 10" from Windows help. When I go to task Mngr. it still flickers. So, I uninstalled the display driver as suggested
    and then ran the "Check for updates". The problem still remains. Any further suggestions?? My next step is to just replace the monitor and assume Windows 10 will not run it!

    Random black screen flickering issue

    Win10 Enterprise version 1909 build 18363.720

    So I've been trying to troubleshoot an incredibly annoying screen flickering issue for months now.

    I have a dual monitor setup, one is an Asus ProArt PA248 connected via Display port, and the other is actually a 32inch Toshiba TV connected via HDMI.

    This setup ran fine for years and then one day I started getting a random black screen flicker, some details about the issue:
    - Both monitors flicker together, it isn't isolated to just 1 of them
    - Happens every 5-10 seconds, randomly
    - It can go for days without any issues, and kicks in randomly at random times
    - There's no colors mixed into the flicker, it's pure black

    Some troubleshooting steps I've tried
    - New cables, no luck
    - Messing with every driver I can find, stock windows drivers and all versions of Intel display drivers
    - Someone suggested I bypass the built in Intel display adapter and MB ports & drivers so I bought a cheap GT 1030, was fine for a couple days then the exact same flicker issue started back up, so the issue doesn't even seem to be display/driver/graphic card related
    - Booting into safe mode the issue went away, it could have just been a random coincidence but I found it interesting that the issue stopped while I was in safe mode

    My PC hasn't changed much over the years so all the obvious troubleshooting hasn't led anywhere, I'm not sure where to look or what to try next, the PC is a little dated at 6 years but still runs fine otherwise I'd hate to have to build out a new system just because of this issue.
