Flickering of screen since installing Windows 8.1

I have a brand new HP Pavilion TS 11 laptop which came with Windows 8 is installed.  Yesterday I installed Windows 8.1 and since then various sites Web seems to suffer from flickering of screen - particularly visible on those with a white background.  Microsoft seem to not be able to offer an explanation except that it has something to do with 'refresh rate', although he didn't offer any explanation on how to solve this problem... do you have an idea what could be causing it and if there's a cure?

Thanks - I love my new laptop, but don't like what Windows 8.1 has done for her!

Hi Amanda1962,

I understand that you now get a flickering screen on your laptop HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11.  I believe that this is due to an update of the BIOS that is needed. Here is a link to to find your model.

Once you have your template go to the BIOS drivers.

You also have an option to restore the Windows 8 back to the original. Here is a link to show you how to do this restore.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

  • Re: Satellite L30D - low screen after installing Windows 7 resolution

    I installed Windows 7 on my L30D satellite. Since this installation, I can't have a better resolkuton that 1024x768.*It was much better with Windows Vista.

    I downloaded the latest ATI driver. No effect. I can't find the Catalyst Control Center as well. What can I do?

    Hello

    The Satellite L30D isn t I known...
    Do you mean Satellite L30 or Satellite L300D?

    Normally, you will need to install the display driver when you use higher screen resolutions, but first check the specifications of your internal display. Native perhaps screen resolution is 1024 x 768 and you can use higher t.

    You can download all the drivers for your laptop on the Toshiba site! Don t use the drivers from ATI directly, they are not designed for mobile chips.

  • Dell Inspiron M5030 black screen when installing Windows 8.1 on 'Get Ready devices.

    Dell Inspiron M5030

    I had Windows 7 installed and works perfectly, but I wanted to install Windows 8.1, I tried a new install first (also tried to upgrade to windows 7). Everything installs fine but when it restarts for the first time the windows logo appears and 'Getting devices % ready' then the screen goes black.

    Ive tried:
    -For let sits for awhile to see if it comes back, and I get nothing after hours
    -J' plugged a monitor without response (also tried to close the cover put to sleep and go to bed)
    -J' quit and tried to start in Safe Mode, but it says that Windows cannot boot mode safe because windows setup has not finished

    I can start on my windows repair and go to the recovery prompt but don't know what to do. It looks like a video driver issue, the laptop has an AMD Radeon HD 4200. If thers any why to install the driver before implementation ready devices? Help, please!

    I had the same problem and did this and it worked without problems... The idea is to integrate the drivers updated in the ISO/DVD. The drivers supplied with the W8.1 DVD do not work as well as I was getting the BSOD with the installation.

    1. download Winreducer and install all the 3rd party software that it requires.  Look in the howto.pdf

    2. download the latest AMD Catalyst drivers from AMD website (not beta).  Drivers Windows 8, I think that the list.

    3. extract the files to temp dir.

    4 copy files and drivers since the temp (packages\drivers\display\w86a_inf) directory and the sub (B149756) to the dir dir drivers winreducer (work\integrate\drivers\x64).  In the x 64 dir, you should have cats, msi, INF and the b149756 files.

    5. run winreducer.  Make sure you have practice an iso to DVD Windows 8.1.

    6. Once you mount your iso, you will spend for options and features screen.  You can see the presets, appearance, features... on top.   Let alone all the options EXCEPT the location of the drivers under System.  Change this to x\WORK\INTEGRATE\DRIVERS\x64.  Don't forget to change the x to your location.

    7. click on finish.  Save as an iso. Apply.  It will save the iso changed in the winreducer folder.

    8 burn and install.

    9. After you are done installing, install the driver package that you downloaded in step 2 by running setup.exe in the main dir.

    10 thank me LOL

    It worked for me on an Inspiron M5030.  I hope that my answer is detailed enough.
