Windows blinking Hi, I was wondering if someone here can help me fix a slight problem. My computer runs 32bit windows 7 with a processor of Dual-core mobile RM-72. The problem is that when working on my computer, most programs and windows start to blink, with each blink having the same effect as a click from the mouse. It also blinks into not responding, going into black or white windows and even making windows appear even if they are minimized. How can I fix it?
Here is a screenshot: http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...1/blinking.jpg As seen, the msn window blinked into turning into a black screen while paint blinked into not responding. This is very frustrating. | My System Specs |

Did you install Windows 7? If so, was it an in-place upgrade, or did you do a clean install? Did you follow any of the install guides that are sticky posts in the installation forum? Where did you get your drivers - did you allow Windows to install default drivers, or did you visit HP and download and install Windows 7 drivers for your model? Has this problem been happening ever since you've had 7 installed, or did it recently start happening (perhaps after you installed/removed/updated some things)? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 15 L502x OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Core i7-2670QM Memory 8GB DDR3 PC3-10600 Graphics Card Intel HD Graphics 3000 + GeForce GT 540M Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Hard Drives 1TB 5400RPM Seagate |

This is very frustrating. Try updating your graphics card drivers. I had a similar issue a fews days back that was caused by me "overloading" my system - I was running a DVD/DIVX conversion, running a duplicate image finder on 120,000 images, writing applications in delphi, working in coreldraw on an 800MB file, and some other goodies.
Point is, I killed my graphics driver, and my system slowed to a crawl that made me think I was using a 386 again. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Phenom 9600 Quad Core Motherboard ASUS MB-M3A32-MVP Deluxe/WiFi Memory 2 x A-Data 2GB DDR2-800 Graphics Card ASUS ATI Radeon HD 2400PRO Sound Card C-Media 7.1 Surround Monitor(s) Displays Sahara 19" Screen Resolution 1600x1200 Keyboard Mercury Mouse Logitech PSU 800W Case Thermaltake Tai-Chi Cooling Tai-Chi Water Cooler Hard Drives 1 x 80GB Seagate (IDE)

A friend and I did the installation. It was a custom install. This issue started 2 days ago. I had Windows 7 about 3 weeks ago and all was smooth till then. My drivers were already installed after Win 7 finished installing, I did had to install one or 2 from HP. DriverGenius did the driver update around the same time this started to happen. I'ma try and update my drivers, cause the blinking also affects me in browsers. I have to click 3 - 4 times to even be able to submit this post. . . | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion dv4-1623la OS Windows 7 x64 Ultimate CPU AMD Turiom(tm) X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-72, 2100 MHz, 2 Cores Memory 4.00 GB Graphics Card Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family Sound Card IDT High Definition Audio Screen Resolution 1280 x 800 x 59 herts Hard Drives C:

Hi, try this, go into Device Manager and right click on your Display, and when the option window come's up select Uninstall and click ok, when it has Uninstalled the Display Driver click the button on the top of the Device Manager page that says,
Scan for hardware changes,
let windows reinstall it and see if that helps. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Build 64bit OS Vista Ult64, Win7600 CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2400 MHz 64bit OS Motherboard Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi @p 64 bit OS Memory 4096 MB DDR3-SDRAM Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 3870 Series x2 Crossfired Sound Card Realtek on board Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster - 23 inches Screen Resolution 1680x1050 pixels at 60 Hz in True Colors Keyboard Wireless Mouse Wireless PSU Cooler Master 1000w Case Cooler Master Cosmos 1000.

Thanks ^^ I was going to say do a "rollback" of the driver, in Device Manager, but sounds like you've fixed it. | My System Specs | | Windows blinking problems? All times are GMT -5.
