Flickering of screen

[Ragear56]

So the bottom of my screen started to flicker a few months ago , this only happens in full screen only here are the specs

 

Ryzen 4800H

GTX1650

16GB RAM 

475 GB SSD 

 

 

Picture one shows the problem/flickering 

 

Picture 2 shows the expected image ie no flicker

Is this a laptop? If the screen has a small flicker my guess is the internal cable for the screen (my laptop was doing this until I swapped the cable)

 

But some things to try:

Use an external monitor and see if it flickers (should narrow down if the GPU is at fault or the display)

Try a different cable type just to make sure that port isn't going bad (I.e DisplayPort and HDMI if you can)

Reset the display back to normal: Windows settings -> system -> advanced scaling -> clear previous settings -> apply

Install DDU and run in safe mode, eliminates any GPU driver issues

 

delete your external monitor cache (google it, super easy)

I agree. This is most likely the cable

thanks , since another monitor would be very expensive for me. so would i just need to delete the cache, and check??? or would i need a display cable replacement

[Ragear56]

Do you not have a TV or anything? Even that would work. Maybe a friends TV or monitor you could try

 

 

If not then we would need your laptop name otherwise I won't know what cable to buy.

Just a heads up, replacing a laptop cable suuuucks. It takes time to make sure you route it and don't break anything
