Flickering screen! Help!

[Haxcha]

Hello!

I recently changed my old AMD Radeon 6970 to a AMD XFX 7970 and it runs good but sometimes suddenly start flickering like crazy but it only happens on my main monitor (got duel moniters) the other one works just fine. I've found out that it happens more often if i play some sort of video for example Youtube or Windows media player.

I've tried almost everything to fix it but i can't find a solution. I thought that maybe some of you guys knew whats going on?

 

Specs:

Moniters: HANNSG Hi221 and LG FLATRON M2380D (the flickering only happens on the HANNSG one)

GPU: XFX R7970
CPU: AMD Phenom ll X6 1055T

RAM: 8GB

 

I have a little video that i took to get you are better view of whats happening:

Maybe it's the HDMI, tryed changing the ports and the cables?

driver 15.7, 15.7.1 and 15.8 have this. Roll back to 15.6 or 15.5 and it's okay

[don_svetlio]

try different outputs (on both GPU and monitor) and a different cable if the driver roll back doesn't help

Are you overclocking your card at all if you are set it to stock. If you run dual screens and the core or mem drops down below a certain speed it will tend to flicker like that which has been a long running problem with AMD cards.

Try running a surround setup with the two screens if your only doing extended, that used to keep the speeds up to prevent that from occurring.
