Title: Screen flickering here and there [HD 7770] Post by: sickhouse on April 08, 2013, 06:18:32 PM Uploaded a video since I suck at explaining: https://vimeo.com/63587677 - my screen flickers with strange colors when I run my miner.

Title: Re: Screen flickering here and there [HD 7770] Post by: sickhouse on April 08, 2013, 06:26:22 PM your cards starting to go bad.... probably been over heating or the ram on the cards failing It's brand new, used it for 2 days only. It has 2 fans and I've never seen the temperature over 80.Title: Re: Screen flickering here and there [HD 7770] Post by: vm1990 on April 08, 2013, 06:39:17 PM i guess it could be a bad driver might be worth trying to reinstall the drivers, if your mining litecoin it wouldn't surprise me litecoin can come up with some weird effects. i dont know if yourve over clocked the card or not but you could also try setting it back to default or maybe slightly under default see if it makes a diffrence
looking at the video again (5 seconds is very hard to go trouble shooting on) it might be the mining is using that much of your GPU that its having a hard time refreshing the screen quick enough does it go as soon as you stop mining?

I am running 4 copies of Diablo III at the same time.looking at the video again (5 seconds is very hard to go trouble shooting on) it might be the mining is using that much of your GPU that its having a hard time refreshing the screen quick enough does it go as soon as you stop mining? The card is clocked a bit but nothing extreme - the driver should be fine as I used ATI's auto download driver software (whatever it's called). EDIT: I am mining BC not LC. Title: Re: Screen flickering here and there [HD 7770] Post by: vm1990 on April 08, 2013, 07:04:50 PM it sounds like it might be a funny driver (dont forget the reason ATI cards are cheaper is because theres alot less people on driver development) you could wait until a new driver comes out in about a month or so or try uninstalling then reinstalling the same driver or even a slightly older driver

Change from Windows Aero to Windows Basic will fix it. Title: Re: Screen flickering here and there [HD 7770] Post by: christov84 on May 30, 2013, 01:49:16 PM I dont know if Asus have released an updated bios but that really helped my 6950 maintain temps and reduce flickering..
Might be worth a look |
