Solved Flickering screen during gaming and watching movie

[CK1985NL]

Which version driver, do you have a link for me please? And must I first uninstall this driver or can I install the older version above the new one?

 

[softwaremaniac]

Here. Desktop It shouldn't be a problem to just run them over.

Hi softwaremaniac, I've got this software, it's the latest version (14.2 omega) of amd driver. Do you have a link of an older driver version?

 

[softwaremaniac]

Look at the link I gave you.

 

[CK1985NL]

Oké, I looked to the link with my smartphone, but I saw the latest amd driver that I've got it. I'm not at home now, so when I arrive I will do that again on my pc.

Hi softwaremaniac, me again. I mark the thread as solved, because it's working fine again. I downloaded from the link that you gave me and installed an older version (beta driver) over the newest driver, then I restarted my pc, and I played almost 2 hours Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare without flickering screen. When I quit the game, it's shutting down immediatily and goes to dekstop. (on the other version of the driver I must wait a few moments to shut down the game, so this is fixed too) This feels so great. Thanks again for you're help and you'll here from me if there any problem occurs.

 

[softwaremaniac]

Glad to have helped

Hi softwaremaniac, I got the same problem again. This is so bad and it's irritating during gaming, I got all the time flickering screen. I cannot normally play a game with fun. When I quit the game it takes a few moment to close it, normally it closes immediatelly. What could be the cause? Please help, thanks!

 

[softwaremaniac]

Try again with a different version of the drivers.

 

[CK1985NL]

Oké, I will do, but do you have a link with old version drivers?

 

[softwaremaniac]

Look at the AMD's website. Do you by any chance have a spare card to test with?

 

[CK1985NL]

Do you mean another working videocard? I thought I had one, I will look when I am at home. I'll keep you updated.

 

[softwaremaniac]

Yes, that's what I meant. I'm using AMD's videocard and I rarely have crashes, like once in two months or even rarer.

 

[CK1985NL]

That's rear, after restarting the pc it worked fine again. There's something bad but I don't know the cause exactly, hardware or software problem. I will test it for couple of hours playing, than we'll see further.

 

[softwaremaniac]

OK, post back with results.

Could the problem be the Vertex 4 SSD, because I discovered that when I'm installing a game, I also get the same flickering screens by using Netflix, during typing, go to maps (using windows), the mousecursor etc, this all happens during installing game.

 

[softwaremaniac]

Test it with SSD life. They are known to cause trouble.

 

[CK1985NL]

I did it, see picture

 

[softwaremaniac]

Please do the test with CrystalDiskInfo, CrystalDiskMark and AS SSD. Do it only once.

 

[CK1985NL]

They were all good, I don't have a screenshot of CrystalDiskInfo and CrystalDiskMark, only of AS SSD. See here
