Screen flickering, was told it is driver conflict or software issue?
Laptop screen flickering? - YouTube <-- Cellphone vid of the screen flicker
So a year or so ago I had to send my laptop off to Staples Business Depot where I got it to have my screen fixed. It would randomly start flickering black and loseing picture before coming back. Sometimes It wouldnt come back for a few minutes or at all until shutdown.
After staples was done looking at it they just backed up and reset my laptop. This is what was said:
"Comprehensive hardware test performed. No trouble found with testing.
Video issue was only recreated inside Windows & tested ok outside of Windows. May have been a driver conflict / software incompatibility
A complementary factory re-installation was completed to ensure the system is performing to manufacturer design.
Repair completed and final testing passed. External cleaning performed. Returning to store for Customer pick-up"
And honestly that fixed it for the time being but now the issue is starting again. Same thing, has only happened once or twice but now I have no warrenty left to have it repaired.
Thus far it has only happened while I am on my desktop or using google chrome. It hasnt happened while playing any games yet but it did previously when the issue first started.
Laptop is an Asus X73S
Intel i7 @ 2.2GHz
Nvidia 610m (all drivers up to date)
8gb RAM
One 290GB hdd, one 380GB hdd.
Ive had a few windows updates the last few days that have installed on shutdown. The issue first started on May 21st and I noticed it again today May 23rd which is why I came here for help.
Just started to have another issue.
