Windows 10: Screen Flickering, Freezing, and Crashing Without BSOD. How can i fix this?

Hello,I’ve been experiencing a frustrating issue where my computer screen randomly starts flickering and freezing. When this happens, an annoying, dreadful sound plays similar to the sound during a crash. The system doesn't show a BSOD—it just completely freezes, forcing me to do a hard reset.Here’s what I’ve tried so far:Updating Windows and all drivers.Running diagnostics to check for hardware issues.Additionally, I’ve noticed that minidumps are not being created after these crashes, so for any info you need you can only refer the memory dump insteadDespite these steps, the problem persist

laptop constantly crashing - bsods, freezing, flickering screen

Hi,

for the past 3 days my laptop (dell vostro) has been crashing constantly. appearantly mainly while web browsing (but not only), anytime between 10 seconds and an hour. These crashes happen in a few formats - freezing; flickering screen +shutdown/restart;
bsod with random messages (kmode exception not handled, system service exception, page fault in non paged area, maybe more that i missed).

I haven't installed any software recently, I've tried updating windows, disabling nvidia driver, checked for driver updates, cancelled fast boot, run hardware diagnostics.

please help!

 

Flickering screen at startup, crashes, and BSOD after instaling new GPU

When i put in the my old GPU it works just fine, but with the new one the screen flickers with the monitor, but i installed older versions of the driver and sometimes when i boot the screen works fine and sometimes it flickers. But now im gonna test if the PC will BSOD or the display drivers will crash. And ill report to you later. And also without any drivers with the generic windows vga drivers the screen doesn't flicker, maby it's the a faulty motherboard or the pcie slot since all the display crashes were TDR related meaning the GPU didn't respond and the display drivers shut down and then recovered. And also does it have to do something with my PSU not having a -5v rail?

 

Screen flicker and hangup on desktop screen

The short term fix for me was to roll back to Windows 7. I did not have the time to work through the issues but will try again in a week or so. I had a call in to the Microsoft Answer Desk and got a call back after I rolled back. Pasted below are the suggestions
to attempt find the problem. In my case, I suspect Norton was the culprit since that was the common product on both my desktops and I was not seeing a flicker in Task Manager window.

From the Microsoft Answer Desk:

Here are the Steps for the Flickering issue.

If we see the screen flickering after sign-in there are two possible causes - apps causing Explorer to crash, or display driver issues.

To start, press this key combination: CTRL+SHIFT+ESC

If this opens Task Manager and that window is NOT flickering:The likely cause is Software Compatibility issue causing Explorer.exe to crash repeatedly.

• Use the File, Run option in Task Manager to open additional tools as-needed. Be sure to check the box to run tools as Administrator. These could include:
  
  appwiz.cpl: Opens Programs and Features
  
  compmgmt.msc: Opens Computer Management
  
  cmd.exe
• You can search for crash events in the Event Logs and find if any third party DLLs are the faulting module in the Explorer,.exe crashes Or uninstall software that is likely to include shell extensions.
  
• If removing software does not resolve the issue, use these commands to repair Windows:
  
  dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
  sfc /scannow

We have reports that removing these apps help resolve the issue:

• Norton Antivirus
• Other AV solutions
• iCloud
• IDT Audio (faulting module IDTNC64.cpl)

If Task Manager is flickering, or it didn't open, proceed with display driver troubleshooting:
The likely cause is a display driver or display hardware issue.

• Boot to Safe Mode with Networking.
• Use the same steps here as for Black Screen issues - if dual chipset, disable built-in graphics, if still flickers, try with only the other chipset enabled.
  
• If this does not work, or there is only a single chipset, uninstall the device and remove the driver software.
  
• Then boot into Windows and update the drivers to the latest from the manufacturer.
