Windows 10: windows screen blinking if i refresh or do any thing on screen.

windows screen blinking if i refresh or do any thing on screen.

ATI Tool - Now Blinking Screen

Stats:

AMD Athlon 64 - 3800 - 2.41Ghz
1.00 GB RAM
NVidia 6800GT - 256MB - Aftermarket fan (Keeping it cool)

I downloaded ATI Tool yesterday... Ran the MAX CORE test. During the test, artifacts appeared on the screen. The tool started dropping the core... it dropped another time or two, but the artifacts kept popping back up. I stopped the test. From that point on, artifacts will show up here and there, but even after a restart and a new driver install from Nvidia... now after a few minutes, the screen will blink. Every ten seconds the screen blacks out foor 1 second. I know it's not the monitor because the mouse freezes just before the screen goes black.

I ran the NVidia Control Panel test, and it came back with 33 tests completed and no negative results.

Any ideas? My next step was going to be trying to underclock the card. It's the only thing I can think of.

Ideas?

Thanks,

BubbaQ

 

Right-click on shortcuts and .exe's causes screen to blink + no menu


Hi - Bizzarro problem with Windows 10. Help appreciated!

In any account, including Administrator ones AND the Administrator account:

• If I right-click a desktop shortcut, the screen blinks black. No sign of the context menu.
• If I locate an .exe in its folder and right-click that, the screen blinks black. The folder closes. No context menu.

Related, perhaps:

• In a Standard account, if I try to turn down the UAC settings (so my son can use Steam without me logging him in each time), the Windows accepts my administrator password, then ignores my changes.

Notes

• I have recorded the blink and played it back frame by frame. No message or anything appears. The screen merely goes black.
• Windows 10 otherwise seems to work fine.
• I have done virus scans etc.

All this makes it very hard to set up Standard accounts that are any use. Any help would be appreciated.
