  1. Screen suddenly colorful and flickering


    Very suddenly I was playing a game on Steam and everything was running smoothly with no abnormalities my screen started flickering and showing various colors. I initially thought it was a software issue and updated the display driver, but that did not solve the issue. The hardware doesn’t seem damaged in any way, not even a little loose, and I don’t recall any recent incident that could’ve caused my screen to have hardware issues, and indeed, I was using it normally until it suddenly started behaving like this unprovoked. I cannot afford to spend a single day without access to a computer rig

      Management
      .

    • Click the Advanced tab in the Color Management - System Defaults dialog box, and do one of the following:

      - To prevent Windows from loading display calibrations, clear the Use Windows display calibration check box.
    • Click Close in the Color Management - System Defaults dialog box.
