Flashing screen

Post by Mr.J »

Well, my problem is that when i play the screen flashes black every few seconds. I have hade this some times before but it isn't like this all the time. The problem hasn't got anything to do with drivers as the problem comes wether they are up to date or not. I have tried vertical sync as i remember that that solved some a problem before but did not work this time

Looking for solutions. Thanks in advance :bg:

Some programs running on background can do this, for example iTunes. Try closing some of the programs :scratch:

Thank you Mr Problemsolver. :P
Studip Task Manager. :D

Another problem that i have connected with this is that sometimes when i start generally it minimizes in the taskbar and then i close it via task manager. Can i prevent it from going to the taskbar.

Lousy explanation but I hope you understand :bg:

You can click with the right button and close it without needing the task manager. :scratch:

I don't know true reason and solution, but in my case it's related with too much applications in run (e.g. several windows of browser & paused video player with a series & other million of things). Then I close the most useless and GR since next start obviously runs well. :scratch:

iTunes is also a large culprit here, I have that issue.
