  1. My computer screen flickers for a while when turned on


    My computer’s screen has been flickering every time I logged in since weeks and now today, I came to a black screen with the only option to pull up the task manager. I can’t open the start menu or run anything to see what the problem is.

    I am able to go through safe mode, use several options like debugging and cmd.exe to run solutions but nothing is working for me.

    I remember when I turned the computer back off when flickering, it said cofire.exe was not able to run correctly.

    Please someone help!

    Screen starts to flicker after logging in for a while

    Hello

    This is an entirely new issue. My screen starts to flicker after logging in/turning on computer for a while, and/or if I launch an app that uses my Nvidia card (my laptop has Optimus), I'm not exactly sure which of these two causes it. For the first while after a restart, the screen appears fine. The flickering appears on desktop background + internet browser as well, so I'm pretty sure it's not a program compatibility issue. The flickering is not severe (the type that looks like horizontal bars sliding up) but it's an annoyance.

    Tried:

    • Disabling Windows error reporting + problem reporting service in msconfig
    • Restart computer
    • Resetting Nvidia global settings to default in Nvidia control panel
    • Checking for display drive updates in device manager (all up to date)
    • Checking monitor refresh rate (60Hz, can't be changed)

    Laptop I'm using:

    • i7-4700MQ 2.4GHz
    • 1900x1080
    • Intel HD 4600 + Nvidia GT750M

    Thanks for suggestions.

    I haven't made any changes on my device. This screen flickering is only happening in Safe Mode.
