280x intense flickering problem

[Drachenmaetzler]

Hello community,

 

I have my PC since early last year. My r9 280x had coil whine as I first started my PC, but it was gone in a day.

Well my problem has acctually appered last year and I google the problem, but I could find were tips like desabling hardware accseleration in flash player and using HTML5 to watch vids.

Now that helped for a few weeks till it started again. I have installed the latest driver on my GPU but it still happens to start extreme flickering.

So to make it clear: Everytime I watch videos on yt or streamcloud whatsoever, manly using HTML5 or Flash (where as I can still play flashgames without a problem) I sometimes get this extreme screen flickering and tearing. It may go away after I close the video or open another one, or it stays and I have to restart my PC.

 

I hope someone can help me with this anoying problem.

 

sincerely,

 

Marius ^^
