• Monitor Flickers Black Once in a While
    3 replies, posted
Roughly a month ago, I updated my Nvidia Drivers to the most recent edition, having not updated them since a reinstall of Windows Vista a few moths prior. After the update was finished and I rebooted my PC, my standard resolution (1280/960) wasn't in place. So I go to change it, after changing it back, I had black bars on either side of my monitor, I decided to uninstall the new drivers, and reinstall the ones my card came with, Windows picked up on my the older drivers, an updated them for me. I simply chose to deal with it. I brought the resolution close to what I had, and left it there. This went on for a day or two, then one morning, I booted my computer to see my old resolution, I was confused as to why, but simply accepted it as a fortunate mystery. I went on without checking anything. Ever since then, my monitor will flicker black as if its trying to change its resloution, it'll take a second, then my screen will go back to normal. It does this on occasion, sometimes getting me killed while playing online. I've read online (from a message board thread from 2004) that I could rollback my drivers to possibly fix the issue, but there was no reply to know it worked. So does anyone atleast know why it flickers?
you can try rolling back, i know my Gt220 did this aswell when it booted but the resolution did stay at 1280x1024 whats the model of the nvidia card?
Geforce 9500 GT I'd rollback, but I'm afraid of some rediculous consequence.
[QUOTE=Cows Rule;31146722]Geforce 9500 GT I'd rollback, but I'm afraid of some rediculous consequence.[/QUOTE] it just rolls back to previous older version of your nvidia driver, totally safe, if anything comes up you can always boot in safe mode and re-install your current drivers. 9500GT? jeez now my head hurts reading that model number could be badly written drivers or the card needs a good re-seat.
