Screen flickers black when you use Photoshop CC 2015

I am under Photoshop CC 2015 with a 13 inch, Macbook Pro late 2013 OSX 10.10.3

My screen flashes black when I use the program (really bad with the text tool)

How can I avoid this / solve the problem?

  • This occurs generally when there is a problem with the graphics card.
  • Open Photoshop > preferences > Performance > avancΘs
  • Set the mode for drawing base.

  • Restart Photoshop and see if that helps.

Kind regards

  • Preview screen turns black when you use the slider to soften ultra key

    Hello

    I'm working on a video, including a greenscreen. That is why I use the ultra key to make the transparent green screnscreen. Whenever I touch the slider "soften" Ultra key, windos preview blackens. I can't get it back to normal until I restart the first. Version 2015.4.

    This issue is being investigated. So far it has been reproduced with acceleration GPU on Windows. What is the case on your system? Also, could you provide your operating system, graphics card and if you use CUDA or OpenCL?

    A possible solution is to go into project settings > General and set the Mercury Playback Engine software only, when you use the parameter to soften.

    Thank you.

  • Full screen is black when you use windows media player series Equium

    Hello.

    When I watch TV on the windows media player so I have the problem. If I go to full screen, it's all black screen but I can hear sounds.
    Watch DVD is OK.

    I have my laptop for 4 months, but everything was ok.
    This problem started 2 days ago maybe earlier. I think I did something but I don't know what and I can't fix it.

    I did restore the BONE, but it did not help.

    Could you help me please?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I know this problem, it s just a bug with media player and the graphics drivers (mainly the media player causes the error it s). Please, if you want to watch something on TV and then playback must be STOPPED BEFORE you from the screen. Once you have changed the screen, enable playback and it should work.

    Otherwise, go on www.videolan.org website, download the latest version of VLC Player and do it with him, it should work for sure. I never start playback of a movie or something when the screen not changed front on television that the screen alone.

  • Satellite A200 screen remains black when you try to start

    Hi all

    My Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer no longer works, then everything started when I was playing a game, all of a sudden the screen turned blue with a tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button for a few seconds to close, because nothing not happening on the computer. Then, I pressed the power button to open it. Everything was fine, until the Welcome screen. In this part, he wrote 'Welcome' but Vista left loading circle of it was not turning.

    After a few seconds, I decided to shut down the computer once again, so I hold the power button for the computer firm. Here's the problem: I tried to re-open it, but the screen remained black. Nothing was happening. The power light is blue, but not all computer activity. So I left it like that a few minutes then it closed and tried again, but it's the same thing. I tried to take it apart and noticed the card two memory was not entirely in its niche. I fixed it, but it does not solve the problem.

    I also tried to plug another screen on it, but this one was also black. So I handed the screen on his computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. He was the starter, but the first problem came, the Welcome screen was frooze it. So yes I close it up and then it's the same thing, the screen remained black.

    I don't think the problem is the screen, because as I said some time it goes to the Welcome screen. Also, I hear no welcome sound when the screen remains black as if the computer would simply not starts. And as I said earlier, I see no activity of the computer on the little light in front of the computer. And to the left of it, I see clearly that the computer is ON, because the power light is blue.

    That is my problem, the next time that the computer is able to start I'll try to boot mode SAFE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.

    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy

    EDIT:
    After the computer is turned off for about 30 minutes, I started and booted in safe mode. At this stage, I have locked my computer with the close button instead on the power button. Then I opened my computer and he started and the problem was solved. Now my laptop is open and working.

    So, if this happens to you:
    1. turn off your computer.
    2. wait about 30 minutes.
    3. start in safe mode
    4. close using istead of now off button power button closure.

    It should work.

    Finally, it does not work. I don't know why, but my computer did start after 30 minutes, but now it no longer works. Only, it will not start as I said later, with a black screen.

    The computer worked for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start but after running a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart. I made about 3 or 4 times, and then he was simply the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe that it is damaged or something, would it possible?

    Because I see that the processor does not work when I try start it.

    So let's say that this is the case, would it be the symptoms of my computer?
    And if it's the processor, the only way to resolve this is to send it to a repairman or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.

    But now, my computer is simply not starting, as I said in my previous post.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Satellite U920T - the screen goes black when you drag the keyboard

    This morning, I turned on my U920T-10 days but the screen remained black.

    At first, I thought the screen was broken, but in mode 'Tablet', the screen became. Now when I slide the keyboard the screen goes black again.

    How can this problem be solved?

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a bad connection somewhere between the screen and the motherboard.
    This could be possible reason for failure to display while sliding in and out.

    I guess this can be resolved easily and I think that it is a job for a technician (authorized service provider). I recommend you contact the service technician in your country to get the laptop fixed. I hope that the warranty is still valid in order to repair for free.

    I hope that this can be corrected. I keep fingers crossed.

  • Satellite L405D-11V - freezes and the screen goes black when you watch the video

    OK, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I had a breakdown, basically, the computer freezes at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still ongoing, this could be at the start, or a few hours using the laptop, so I decided to ring Toshiba technology support and they arranged for my laptop to collect and be expelled for repairs.

    I was able to track repairs online via the tracking service and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, he said that they have ordered a part, it was underway and the repairs are completed.

    However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, all right, I start using the cell phone that everything is fine, so I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so I turned off now pressed the power button, hoping he wasn't that a large, I turn back to and load the video once again it freezes and the screen goes black again, after that whenever I am watching a video or a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze as before the repairs. So there is always a mistake, but I'm not sure what to do

    Its still under warranty, I bought the laptop from the Comet, but I really don't want to send the laptop for repairs again and find it comes back with the same fault, is it interesting sending distributed, maybe see if the comet will replace the laptop as its still less than a year to buy the laptop, or it'll just be useful to save all the hassle and buy a new laptop? If this fault happened to someone else, I could use you some help, and if someone could shed some light regarding what could be bad?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    You changed something on the configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? You update a driver, or something else?
    What operating system you use on your L405D satellite?

    To be honest it is really hard to say why it happens because technicians test to check if your laptop is running correctly.

    In my opinion you should try to update the display driver. Maybe it's the origin of the problem of s
    If this isn't the case, I recommend installing Windows from Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. These parameters are pre-tested by Toshiba and should work.

    If you still have the problem, you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the online repair and according to your assignment, everything worked well during repair, so in my opinion he should t be a problem to contact guys exactly.
    Explain your very detailed problem. I think that everything can be clarified then. :)

  • 100% use of the disk in the Task Manager when you use Photoshop CC (8.1-64-bit Windows)

    Hello

    I have been using Adobe CC for a month or two now. I have an Asus laptop with Intel Core i7 (2.4 GHz), 6 GB RAM, 1 TB hard disk space and 64 bit, almost 6 months old. Following apps are installed: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Audition, Acrobat Pro XI, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. I recently did an update through Adobe CC for Photoshop and Illustrator, all the others are up to date.

    I think, but I could be wrong, since this update Photoshop is weird on my laptop. When I run Photoshop, my task manager immediately indicates a rate of 100% of my use of the disk. This seems to be off, after it is fully operational, but when I start to edit a file, the use of the disc immediately breaks back to 100%, while the CPU remains below 10%, RAM stays 3, 5-3, 8 GB (only 60% of total capacity) and even the actual read and write speeds of my HARD drive are not particularly high (5-10 MB max). And because of the use of the disk of 100%, Photoshop freezes in an instant and operating it is almost impossible.

    I already uninstalled Photoshop, passed all services and * that could trigger it in Windows 8.1 (Google search for: 8.1 Windows disk use 100%), re-installed Photoshop and I still have the same problem.

    So, I was wondering if there could be a solution to this problem or if anyone else has this problem as well?

    Thanks in advance!

    UPDATE: this error only applies when trying to manipulate, add, change or delete the text. All other functions (unrelated to the text) seem to work fine.

  • Webcam black when you use MSN on laptop Satellite Pro

    Hi, thanks for your help, but this is how I fixed it. Hope this helps others

    However, to do this: go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash and do a RIGHT CLICK on the logo that is being charged. THEN: Navigate down until "settings", click it, and you should have the choice: "disable hardware acceleration". NOTE: If you do NOT have this choice, study the icons down quickly: on MY screen, the left-most is an icon that looks like a video monitor: click on it and give you the opportunity to "disable hardware acceleration".

    It works, if you can get it done before you get a BSOD! AND do not take the life of your computer in your hands by updating your video drivers. I do not really recommend doing that!
