I honestly don’t know what I’d do without helpful people like you making videos. That flickering was terrible. Thank you
I've been dealing with this issue for well over a year, always assumed my graphics card was on the way out. Found this video and the problem is entirely fixed. Thanks man, you're a hero.
Run a unigine benchmark to isolate any problems.
@@Tekillyah how?
@@drippy_fps3114 I mean for stability, if it crashes then it's the gpu.
@@Tekillyah In my case, I managed to record when the game flickered, then in the recording the flickering is also appreciated, what could it be all about?
so I'm guessing it's my monitor not being able to keep up with my gpu
Two years have passed and your video is still helping people figure out screen issues. Thanks for the help!
Glad it helped!
Thank you a lot, I thought for a while that my monitor just wasn’t good enough for my laptop but you helped me fix it completely ❤️
Glad I could help
This tutorial literally fixed my screen tearing AND input lag simultaneously. I thought I would have to enable VSync to fix screen tearing at the cost of input lag but just specifically choosing “let me pick from a list of available drivers” rather than browsing or automatically searching for it on my computer updated it and fixed everything. I’m on Windows 11 too with an NVIDIA card so I am very grateful. Thank you so much!
Yep. Litteraly did the same. That's crazy because I tried updating my drivers directly from my graphics software (AMD Adrenalin) and it did not fix it.
@@emmanuelprudente6463 same
Ive been having this problem for over a year and you're the first person to actually help me fix it, thank you
In my case, I managed to record when the game flickered, then in the recording the flickering is also appreciated, what could it be all about?
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I appreciate the help. Wicked feeling when I paused at 2 min and clicked next and after the update the problem was solved. I had green lines flickering. They gone now. Like my dad
Glad it helped!
Green lines? I had black lines.
@@tep_iv Mine are red and blue checkmarks
Mine what ever the game i was playing
He’s just getting milk
Blurry and shaky screen was fixed in less than 5 mins of finding your channel. you're a god send dude, cheers.

Thank you!! man you saved my life, scared the hell out of me when my screen started to flicker.

@@MDTechVideos i helped myself but thank you anyway! still useful for the future
I thought my screen cracked
@@FrisibleConfusion I have horizontal lines in my display does this work

Hey please I need your help man I'm so confused. when I click on Display adapters two options show up : 1--intel graphics 2--nividia geforce.. what should I pick here please ?
It says my driver has a problem and now I my laptop icons are bigger. It has nothing to do with the small, medium and large icons selection you can make by right clicking the desktop. Also, I can't change my brightness anymore. Please help me😭😭
Edit: I have fixed it
I have a Dell G7 17 7700 for 2 years now and for about a year the screen is flickering and lately it has grown in pixel size, I've tried everything I cant change the refresh rate so its always 144 but when I disable Intel UHD Graphics in device manager the problem is gone but with Nvidia driver on I don't get 144hz instead 60hz and I cant play or watch vids properly... Any help?
If i can't play genshin cus it's bugging and i m using windows 8 then if i download windows 10 will my problem be fixed?
when i launch valorant league of legends call of duty warzone 2.0 my screen keeps flickering to black then it goes normal sometimes it stays black for a really long time. what could be the issue. all my drivers are up to date. also when i launch these games i suddenly here the gpu going super loud then quieting down. could my gpu be damaged or am i doing something wrong?
Thank you bro. My system was working fine until I installed a certain shader for a game. My screen was flickering like crazy and stutters were occurring as well. After doing this it fixed the problem entirely. Thank you once again 😊
In my case, I managed to record when the game flickered, then in the recording the flickering is also appreciated, what could it be all about?
Can you tell me what this is actually doing when you update the driver and select it manually from your computer? The driver on your computer should be the driver it's currently using. So aren't you just reinstalling the same driver? I mean, unless you're using the Microsoft basic display adapter, which no one should be using with a graphics card. Most people should already have the NVIDIA driver installed, and if it's not, it won't show up on that list. So what exactly is this doing?
Could I just go through the control panel updating everything? Serious question
Ok so I did this, and it fixed the flickering, but for whatever reason, the audio now only comes out of my pc? Like when I try to change the source of audio from speakers/headphones to AAA(display audio) it’s just stuck in speaker/headphone audio. Like I can’t change it to get it to come out of my monitor
Hi sir im still having this problem, and it seems like it got worse, do u know how to reverse this?
Can you please do a tutorial for an iMac ?My computer does the same thing but its hard to navigate this tutorial bc system is so different.
My problems as soon as the blue windows logo dissapeared it goes to a blank black screen it works fine with my bios though, and had worked fine prior to windows install, specs: xfx ghost hd7870 2gb, xeon e3 1225, stock cooler, 8gb ddr3 g.skill ram, and 500gb toshiba hdd, any way to fix this error
Real shit I was about to throw my pc away. Last night I went thru a whole migraine of how frustrated I was (anger issues) just wanted to say a big thank you🙏👌🏻🙌 I’m back on warzone without the main menu being glitchy
you are the best, I used to alway tab out from flicking down at my screen ebcause i couldnt play in fullscreen mode. I got to the point where I literally completely couldn't play. Thank you so much for helping me fix this, it was a life saver.
I have some weird problem with the monitor basically everytime i restart or reboot the pc it goes to washed out picture. When i restart the monitor, change random monitor setting or screen goes to sleep mode, then it display the correct picture until i close the pc.
Mine flickers but won't let me click anything or show anything on the home page I can open task manager using con alt delete and everything flickers besides task manager page and can't figure it out

What if I have a higher refresh rate but it’s forced to go down because if I keep it 99hz or higher I get tears it’s used to be 144hz but if I try and put 144 now screen goes black with a slither of the screen at the top

While palaying nba 2k21 and valorant, the game keep on and off. Like it will go back to normal then it will off again. How will I fix this one?
Thabk you! I really thought it was a hardware problem as I had followed many other videos before this, checked for viruses, even contacted Microsoft and was told it was hardware issue. You really save me from wasting money
Bro I bought Lenovo IdeaPad 3 gaming lap the lap is amazing when I play in emulator it's perfect but when I start recording using shadowplay the recording is totally flickering but the gameplay is not disturbed wht should I do
After doing the "fix" my computer kept booting in system repair mode. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!
I followed through your tutorial and it stopped for like an hour then it started again,any other help?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I LITERALLY HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH MY SCREEN GOING BLACK ON CERTAIN GAMES FOR SO LONG SO I COULDNT PLAY THEM BUT NOW I CAN! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SO LONG I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY CABLE, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: It didn't fix it fully, but it fixed it partially so tysm still.
What if you see your display adapter name up there twice, which would you suggest to pick?
I recently downloaded nfsmw 2005 redux version and pc started to experience lags while gaming. What is the solution for this 😢?
It works for me but, if i change to hdmi to play xbox then back to display port mode later on .. it reappears, please help someone.
which driver i need to install? i have nvidia driver and microsoft
You guys might think I am a bot but guys listen,I have watched every single UA-cam video on this topic and non worked. This simple thing is what stopped it from flickering/turning on and off when I wanna play a game. Thank you man I really appreciate it.
Same for me
I dont have display driver as an option in the devices manager
Nope. Still having this issue playing diablo 2 lord of destruction. There are TONS of people that are having this issue. THe ONLY solution I have found is playing it in windowed mode but I FRACKING HATE playing in windowed mode. There has GOT to be a solution for playing in full screen. Drivers are updated, everything is updated. I have been googling this and researching this since last night... well over 5 hours of research done and NOTHING has been able to fix this. sighs. I'm playing on a brand new Acer Nitro 5, 16 gb ram, I have even gone into the NVIDIA card settings and omg, I'm pulling my hair out. This funny thing is that it was working aboslutely FINE last night. NOw? Nope. It just won't stop flickering.
I guess I am doomed to either deal with the flickering screen in or play in this AWFUL windowed mode. This sucks.
Would support assist pick up these driver updates?
When I do the advanced display on mine and select my driver and update it or go to bios to fix it my whole aoc monitor goes into static mode
Can you please help me with for some this within reason it’s not working
I'm facing antialiasing problems in gta can this fix that?
It's been a problem for more than a year in many games. It's now fixed ! Thanks a lot.
Glad I could help
Thanks I couldn't figure out how to fix my monitor flickering and updating the drivers fixed it.
Legend! My display suddenly started pixelating for no apparent reason during videos and games (not still images though) and this turned it back to normal. Thank you!
Glad I could help
Its STILL not fixed. I still have the red and green particless appearing on my search bar
I don’t have the display adapter option in the task manager
What if this resolves my issue but only temporarily?
I have to do this several times a day or restart my PC...
I have been freaked out by this horrible problem & was about to call service centre but then i thought to search problem on yt and ur method worked i can't thank you enough 🙏 this video's legend 👍
Shards/lines on my games get fixed by this right?
I've had this problem since 2021, and never knew how to fix it, it randomly occurred while playing roblox 😭 especially when trying to get shaders, the shaders kept flickering as well which made it annoying. Thank you so much for the tutorial, earned a new subscriber! 😊 Edit: oh nvm, i fixed the flickering, so then i joined roblox, AND I WAS LAGGING SO MUCH. i probably did something wrong. dont know what i did, because i did everything correct
That's cause of the display
Well, If I had an issue with flickering on 1 screen, this would've helped big time (as I was having that issue...AMD PRO Edition, switched from Adrenaline Edition)...
But my problem is that I use two screens, which have different aspects (Both are TVs, but one is UHD set to 4k, while the other is same manu., but smaller, and is 2k.)
The smaller one never flickers....it's the main screen.
If I turn off the second screen, I don't have the problem...but I'm a content creator, and I use both screens constantly. Recently, I had tried a technique that worked (turned off "windows problem reporting service" and "problem reports and solutions." Both were fine up to today, yet now it's back to flickering again. I've not installed anything, nor changed anything.
I had re-opened Unreal Engine 4.27, which was working fine.
I don't know what to do. I am scaled back to using one screen, if I don't want the annoyance of the flickering...BUT, you pay all that money for a good video card and the ability to use multi screens, and this is what I get??
Can you help me manage this??
Thank You SO Much Sir!! I'll Be Following You Since 2018!!Love From India..
You're welcome!

How could I go back to original drivers after chamge?pls help me i m a subscriber I love your work

Hi sir i connect my laptop to a newly bought monitor but when I check the Advanced display settings, it only connects to Microsoft Basic Driver Display Driver, and it only has 1.000 Hz. Do you have any knowledge on this?
Thank you so much I thought either my monitor or video card were going bad.
Updating the Display Adapter fixed it for me. The flickering black screen is no more.
I have two monitors and one of them would always flicker to a black screen.
IT SAYS I CANT PLAY IT ANYMORE "A D3D11-COMPATIBLE GPU (FETURE LEVEL 11.0,SHADER MODEL 5.0) IS REQUIRED TO RUN THE ENGINEER"
Hello, bro. I have a problem. My game launches with its own lighting. How can I fix the problem?

Thank you so much I thought I had a computer problem!!
Aw man thank you so much; my laptop is in the shop so I've pulled one of my older one's out for the interim and I couldn't work out the issue 😅 thanks again 🙂
My laptop screen flickers only in cs go...
In my case, I managed to record when the game flickered, then in the recording the flickering is also appreciated, what could it be all about?
The flickering is on the monitor, not in the actual video. If you cold have moved the video, the flickering wouldn't follow.
I did this and it says error code 43 and now my display adapter has a little caution mark
