Monitor flickers on startup

I have a demension 1100 with an Acer 17' LCD flat screen monitor. At startup, the screen may flash once or twice, but does'nt turns on immediately. This can happen continuously until it is finally, after attempts multile start-up. After that, it works perfectly, until he is arrested again.

Could be a driver issue... could be a monitor problem. Try to connect the monitor to another computer as a reference... Mike Hall MVP - Windows Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/

  • monitor flickers

    my monitor flickers and makes this weird to hear that kind of goes da dum, dum da after each Flash. Also, there is a sound for each keystroke.  I have tried adjusting the monitor, but it does not work. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Connect the computer to another monitor. If all goes well, it is time to replace the original monitor. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    When I turn on my computer with the display button light / stop is orange as my monitor flickers.

    No, change your refresh rate would not help. Check the cables and connections to make sure they are connected and in good condition. If they are in good condition there is something the matter with your screen and you will need a new. Replace them if they are not, and it should work.

  • Satellite L300-29R - monitor flickers on and off voltage at startup - Vista

    Salvation of Brussels,

    After turning the computer when the desktop icons are already visible and the background photo as well, the screen flashes black for about 1 second each time.

    Then it stabilizes and things "seem" normal work.
    But then again, I'm no expert. There may be other problems.

    I recently bought a new camera and it seems to me that the problem started after downloading the software.
    In the meantime I deleted it again but this blinking at startup of remains.
    What should I do? Please if no solution, explain to me as to a 'beginner '.

    Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

    Hello

    You mean that this problem may be related to software installed?
    Hmm. that would be very strange
    However, you can try to update the display driver

    The driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page
    Take a look here, choose your phone model and update the driver

  • Tecra M5: External monitor flickers - grounded question?

    Hello

    I just bought a new Acer Full HD LCD Monitor (P244W) and have tried to connect on my Tecra M5 VGA port.
    It works, but there is a noticeable and more annoying flicker. I tried with XP (SP3) and now Vista (SP1) and it happens for both. I have the latest BIOS and NVidia drivers. The actual laptop LCD screen still works fine, it's just the external screen that flickers.

    To make sure that there is nothing wrong with the monitor, I plugged the ATI video card VGA port on my desktop pc and it displays fine without flickering.

    After completing the web for people with similar problems, I narrowed down it to her being caused by my power adapter with a grounding problem as the flicker disappears as soon as I unplug the AC adapter and just run the battery. It seems the solutons common to this problem are:

    (1) try some different VGA cables with better shielding against interference.
    I tried this and it made no difference. I tried cables with or without the magnet ferrite/Starter thing at both ends of the cable and the flicker remained.

    (2) try the different screen resolutions and refresh rate.
    Tried to adjust some lower resolutions, but the twinkle remained (not to mention that I prefer to keep the native resolution of 1920 x 1080 for my monitor). The NVidia driver allows only 60 Hz refresh rate at 1920 x 1080, so I couldn't change that.

    (3) make sure that the computer laptop AC adapter / CC and the monitor are connected to the same wall jack and are on the same power expansion card.
    Tried, but it does not solve.

    (4) run an extension cord to another circuit of power supply in my house and to the AC adapter and the monitor of this to see if its something wrong with the wall socket using im.
    I tried connecting to a wall in my laundry, but does not resolve it.

    (5) try using a different power expansion card and nothing else is connected on the power adapter and the monitor.
    Tried, but it does not solve.

    (6) get a pin 3 to 2-prong adapter, so the power adapter is connected to the Earth is no longer.
    Most of the people on the web seem to say this corrects the problem, but I don't know how it is safe to leave this way long term. Especially, when stories of mobile phones capture the fire are multiplying.

    (7) get an adapter to generic brand as they sometimes solve the problem better than the Toshiba power adapter grounding.
    Yet once again, I would avoid this option rather than even the most generic brands cost dear.

    (8) remove the battery and run its own from the AC adapter.
    Tried, but it does not solve.

    9) play with the settings of monitors.
    Tried, but none of the settings fixed it.

    So, what are my options?
    Is there a known cause and the solution to this problem?
    If my laptop is still under warranty, can I get a replacement AC adapter / CC or something to work around this problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    This should ask in the answers – Windows Forums for your version of Windows.

    Check the cable at both ends. Try the monitor on another computer because it could be the monitor.

    The issue could be the video card in order to check with the system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for custom
    systems) or if actual video card manufacturer a separate device.

    If there is a separate video card you may need to remove ALL power and then remove and reinstall
    the map - in fact, remove and replace - do not just tight.

    The video driver may need to check updated and then re-installed with sources of support above.

  • Monitor flickers, computer crashes and now the error message

    I have a Dell Latitude D630 refurbished.  It runs on Windows XP.  GREAT computer to date.

    This past wee, my monitor had a problem where the screen starts flashing and then the computer hangs.  At some point after one of these episodes, the screen came back after a reboot in the lowest resolution possible and under Device Mgr, I got an exclamation point on the screen and they said that it did not work properly.  She went from a to a compatible VGA Nvidia display allowing no driver to install.  I didn't know what Nvidia at the time.

    Through the history of the information system, I discovered that the driver has been deleted somehow, don't know how (to get rid of a virus, maybe that did) and I could see, I had this particular Nvidia driver.  I went on the site and downloaded/installed, and it worked.

    Well, lasted no more than a day or two and the flickering started.  When it happened earlier, I got a blue screen after with a message that Windows has encountered a problem and stopped to prevent changes to your computer - the problem seems to be caused by the following: nv4_disp.

    Help!  I use for my career and need for Monday.  Don't have an idea where to go from here or how to fix it.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Imran, what is so strange is that it is well again today.  I bought a new laptop and I'll use it as a backup.  I went to work with her twice this week and it worked perfectly thanks to a job very long and a bit short, maybe an hour.  But he does very well a while and then freezes.  You can 99 / 100 times do end restart since the update of the BIOS.

    Yes, you are right, the video card probably needs to be changed but it is attached to the motherboard and is not worth.  I bought a used IBM ThinkPad and it's great.  I heard these are laptops where you can fix everything that breaks without having to replace any component or throw it out.  Hope it will last more than two months!

    Thanks, Imran, for hanging in there with me.

    Furthermore, it is Lori, not Loroi.  Don't know how to fix it LOL!

    Good day.

  • External monitor flickers and send the display to the laptop screen

    I'm running Windows 7 on a ThinkPad. I have an external monitor from ViewSonic VX2433wm I connect and use scope display mode. This all worked fine for many months, and then a few months ago I started having a problem where, after several minutes, the ViewSonic and the computer screen will be time twinkle a few times and then just what is on the ViewSonic flies to the computer screen. I have updated the monitor display drivers and the laptop, but still have the problem. In addition, I discovered by chance yesterday that, even if the external monitor is turned off but connected to the laptop, the screen of the computer, still wobbles. It's driving me crazy!

  • External monitor flickering Macbook 2016

    I have a Macbook 2016 and an Apple USB - C for Multi AV-HDMI adapter and a LogiLink USB - C for adpater DisplayPort.

    I am using a Dell 3008WFP as an external display monitor (maximum resolution 2560 x 1600 @60 Hz) with my MacBook, but it doesn't seem to work well.

    The monitor will often empty after a short time ('economy' mode) or only occasionally displays a picture and then turns off again. Using a LogiLink USB - C for Displayport is a bit more stable then the adapter Apple, but also often suffers the same problem.

    On a small monitor Samsung 1920 x 1080, the Apple Multi AV adapter seems to work perfectly well, but on the Dell, it is not stable (via HDMI to a resolution of 1920 x 1200, as the Dell only supports supported resolutions higher on DVI or DisplayPort).

    The map is updated latest firmware 2.33. Is there a problem with my MacBook (again)? Or is it a software problem? Is there a work around? Does anyone have a good experience with the MacBook to 2560x1600@60Hz on an external display?

    Hello Schendstok,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message you are trying to use an external monitor with your MacBook, but the monitor shows a white screen. I like to use external screens with my Mac too.

  • External monitor flickers always on Satellite Pro U400 - 13G

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro U400 - 13G that connects external monitors with VGA port.

    I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit with the latest graphics drivers from intel, I also tried the drivers from the Toshiba download site.

    Anyway... I tried 3 different external screens to connect a LG with resolution 1280 x 1024, an acer projector with resolution 1024 x 768 and a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW running 1680 x 1050.

    All these monitors simply sparkles... a higher resolution = more flicker. It seems to be worse with gray background.

    I tried the system Windows 7 RC1, same problem.

    When I unplug my diet, Twinkle seems to be... a little reduced, there is still a lot of flicker.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

  • Tecra S11 - 11G - external monitor flickers when the Wifi is enabled

    I have a similar problem on my brand new Tecra S11 - 11G. The only difference is that the problem is present only when I have my laptop plugged in and turned on WiFi radio.

    If I turn the Wifi radio off and keep the laptop connected to the power source, the external screen keeps flickering. If I keep the WiFi radio and disconnect it from the power source blinking stops, too.

    I reported this problem to Toshiba customer to the Portugal (where I bought it) and they gave me the ticket case #710008193. They said that they would not replace the defective unit and that I should leave for repair. It is absolutely amazing because the laptop is brand new. A customer still expects to have a well work product when needed out of the box without having to call the repair man. I think it is their obligation to replace the damaged aircraft. In addition, this laptop is part of a fleet of the company who buys only Toshiba laptops and we are talking about a Tecra and not a Satellite. We deserve more respect from Toshiba.

    In a year or two, I have a new laptop (company policy) and it surely won't be a Toshiba.

    > They said they would not replace the defective unit and that I should leave for repair. It is absolutely amazing because the laptop is brand new

    That is why amazing? A hardware malfunction can still happen and this happens not only in the world of the computer/laptop. Therefore, manufacturers provide a service to a client and failure may be fixed and covered by the warranty.

    > A customer still waiting to have a well work product when needed out of the box without having to call the repair man. I think it is their obligation to replace the damaged aircraft

    Of course you are right, but in the reality of things happening.
    My PS3 died after a short period of time. It has been fixed and replaced under warranty conditions, but this isn't a reason for me to say; I would not buy PS3 more because of this problem.
    My BMW had some engine problems, that it was fixed under warranty and I would buy this car again once because this car is great and I think other builders are no better, and I think this would also happen to other manufacturers

    That s my personal opinion in the opinion

  • Satellite A100-784 - external monitor flickers with AC adapter

    Hello

    I have problem with external monitor on Toshiba Satellite A100-784.

    _Problem 1: _
    External monitor blinks as a flag up and down when the adapter is connected to the laptop.
    What laptop works on this medication batery is ok. What is the problem of my od my laptop power adapter (graphics card) od something else?

    _Problem 2: _
    When I use samsung 22 "on batery then monitor does not Flash as a flag but pixels moves randomly left or right. I try to find new drivers for my graphics 945GM card, but on the toshiba support page there is an old drivers which was already instaled on my laptop.

    So, if you have any suggestions for me for problem 1 or 2 Please help a cant use my monitors :(

    PS Can use drivers from Intel official Page for graphics card?
    If I can't then I contact toshiba support team to release new drivers :).

    Thank you all.

    Hello!

    For your first problem, I think that the AC/DC adapter is faulty or it s a motherboard problem.
    This should be checked by a technician for laptop.
    I put t know what OS you use, but you can try to use the driver from the Intel Web site.
    There should be a more recent version available:
