[XPS 15 9550] Display stops flashing after upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04

I have recently moved from windows to Ubuntu and I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my new Dell xps 15 9550 laptop. Everything works perfectly except the display. It keeps flickering. Maybe the problem is with the NVIDIA graphics.  Someone will be able to help me with this problem. Thank you

I managed to solve this problem by improving my kernal to 4.5.0 :)

  • stopped working after upgrade

    Firefox has stopped working after the upgrade to version 27. I reinstalled 26, it's been a while so I thought that the problem had been sorted out, so today tried to install the latest version. Same problem as 27, just does not work when you click it. I have Zonealarm later, and I have disabled all the internet security, control applications and anti virus. The same, followed instructions to remove firefox so reliable programs it tempt me the fact still. But there is no prompt . As a last resort, I uninstalled Zonealarm. Still does not work after a new installation.

    I am a website developer, and all my tools are on Firefox. Chrome never problems with the update, so what is happening here? Surely with the power of Mozilla, that sort of thing shouldn't. AM also on XP SP2 which deserves to be supported on the nocturnal compilations, I just read (cannot upgrade to SP3 for compatibility with other software).

    New version looks ace, so please help.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test.

  • HP Pavilion p6210y: Office flashing after upgrade Windows 10

    I have a flashing desktop (goes black and office) after upgrade to Windows 10.  Once connected, it is fine for about 10-15 seconds, then it starts flashing. I couldn't do anything - click on anything except CTRL-ALT-DEL to go to the Task Manager.

    I did the upgrade 2 x already. Before my first attempt, I do nothing with my PC - I did not update the driver. When I arrived the office flashing after improvement, I panicked and immediately brought back to Windows 7. I was able to get to the window of recovery during the period of 10-15 seconds just after the connection. Fortunately, he returned to Windows 7.

    After the first test, I read a little about the similar problem and so I tried some of the proposed solutions - update the drivers on my PC, to disable reporting services Windows (all on 10 to win), to try to go to Safe Mode.

    So I tried again. I updated all the things I can to update (for most drivers) before the upgrade. Do you have PC Clean up. I had the office flashes again. It's the same thing. So while they are flashing, I tried to disable the windows reporting services that is very difficult to do with the Office of flashing. He did nothing clearly. So I went in Mode without failure. After starting in safe mode, I got the normal screen for about 5 seconds, but a blue window quickly flashed and then the desktop on Mode without failure just turned black, only the visible cursor.

    So, I rolled back to Windows 7 new.

    I don't have a lot of things/programs on my PC that I uninstall programs right away if I know that I will not use. I do scan of cleaning/Virus from PC on a regular basis.

    Information about my machine:

    HP Pavilion p6210y

    Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit

    Video card: NVIDIA GEForce 9100

    All the suggestions/help will be very appreciated.

    The only thing that solved the issue is reset my machine while keeping my personal files.

    I've never understood what really caused it.

    Thus, after the upgrade when the screen is flashing, I have reset the PC.

  • Pavilion dv6-4024tx: display random crashing after upgrade to Windows 10 (back to Windows 7)

    Hey all,.

    I used to own a computer laptop dv6-4024tx Pavilion which I gave to my father to use after you have bought a new laptop for my part. It was in pretty good condition when I gave it to him, with the only problem being that she would get very hot unless a cooling pad was used (which I it comes with). At the time, it was running Windows 7 Home Premium with no problems and everything was fine. However, it might be interesting to note that while I had it I had problems with random blue screens while I was with the latest graphics drivers, so I drove back to the drivers supplied on the support page for this laptop. After I "upgraded" to Windows 10 (do not perform a clean install) for my dad, the laptop would randomly crash and display something like the photo that I have attached, before going empty and show again several times. Believing that it would be a problem with the GPU, I went and Display Driver Uninstaller to remove completely all AMD drivers and software, downloaded the latest driver on the AMD website and installed. It seemed to temporarily solve the problem, but as it's always within 30 days of installation, I offered to go back to Windows 7, but my father wanted to leave it and see how it happened. Oddly enough, for the next month, it never reported the laptop crashing again and the time period for return finally expired. The problem of course back then I tried the same solution from before but the noise continued. I tried to disable the GPU completely from the Device Manager, so that the laptop was running with Microsoft Basic display adapter. He seems to have stopped the fracas, but less than a week my father told me that he had crashed again.  I tried to restore the laptop to a system image I had done years ago, but I learned that you cannot restore an image to a different version of Windows System. Finally, as a last resort I backed everything up and made a real clean install of Windows 10, and the problem has not yet disappear.

    My goal now is to return the Windows 7 laptop somehow. I can mount a virtual image of the system hard drive and access all the recovery files provided by HP, specifically the Recovery Manager. From there, I can do a recovery USB or DVD (s) we hope to restore the laptop to all conditions of factory (so theoretically return to Windows 7). I will try this, but I need a flash player more than 20 GB or several blank DVDs I don't currently. In addition, Recovery Manager says that this medium can never be created once, so it save me time and money (not to mention my last lifeline) if someone could please share their views on the question of whether this method would be successful or not. I know in case it doesn't work, there is always the question of registration of the OS by Microsoft, but I can cross that bridge when I get to it.

    Sorry for the essay I just wrote, but this has been a problem for too long, and I am at a loss to know what to do now (apart from the purchase of another computer). If there are any questions I'll be happy to answer, and I hope we can get this issue is resolved. See you soon.

    If you follow this step 3.

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/675-system-image-recovery.html

    You will need to select "format and repartition disks" as windows 10 will have changed partitions.

  • SD card slot stop working after upgrade a1 - 830 kitkat

    Hello

    After update of the a1-830 (Spain), SD card stopped working. As I said in another thread, it may be a coincidence if, in addition, there is no other reason why (no water, no drops, no high temperatures...).

    Checked the sd card in other devices - works OK

    checked other maps sd in the 830 - nothing has worked

    reset to factory settings - nothing, no error messages...

    My question is, is there some newspapers, dump, something where I can search for messages in error, to find if the problem is actually related to the upgrade?

    Thanks in advance

    Yes, I tried but nothing happened... until apply the latest patch, then the SD card is recognized, assembled and disassembled every second and valid ramdomly saying that the card does not have a file system.

    I'll try an another factory reset and if after that always have the same problem, will finally I bought at the store.

    I'm going to mark it as resolved, I think that this has nothing to do with the update of kitkat

    Thank you all for your answers

    Now, waiting for news about an update of the lollipop...

  • Phone stopped working after upgrading to iOS 9.2

    I have updated to iOS 9.2 and my phone (5 s) has stopped working.

    do not send text messages or save and none of the applications to work.

    I do not have a PC at the moment so I can't use iTunes

    Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

  • Logitech Headset H330 with Mic stopped working after upgrade to SP3 of XP Professional

    While in SP2, all worked, but once the system to update to SP3, the game has stopped working.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I had the same problem after buying the Logitech H330 Mic headset and use Windows XP with SP3.

    -Solution (at least for me):

    * Go to C:\WINDOWS\inf

    To find the WDMA_USB file. BAK

    * Rename this file WDMA_USB.inf

    * Use the Windows Update Wizard (from Device Manager', select the 'Logitech USB Headset"(with yellow exclamation mark), right click and select 'Update driver...) »)

    * Specify C:\WINDOWS\inf as a location to search for the driver

    * If you are lucky (I was / am!), Windows XP with SP3 will install the "Logitech USB Headset" as USB-audiodevice and you can select (and - finally - use) as audiodevice!

  • Subwoofer stops working after upgrade to windows 7. __

    After the upgrade to Windows 7 my subwoofer is no longer in effect. I tried to uninstall the driver and the re - install the latest drivers, but it does not work. Strange thing, it is that the sub will work in test phase of the program, but not in music playback. Any help would be appreciated.

    Finally figured it for people with Realtech HD audio drivers! All you do is, right-click on the volume in the taskbar.  Click playback devices. Click the speakers properties. Access improvements. Activate bass management. That's all! Alternatively click on correction of the room and set the PB to have more control.

  • Speakers Logitech Z313 stopped working after upgrading to Windows 7

    I delayed upgrading to Windows 7 until after I graduated from College just for this reason. I just installed Windows 7 and my Logitech Z313 speakers that worked perfectly well in Windows XP are not recognized as material.

    There is no yellow! device drivers, I have the "High Def Audio" largest later device driver installed. Troubleshooting Windows does not detect a problem with anything. My speakers are working properly. When I disconnect or shut down the PC, I can hear the feedback and the pop Logitech has no drivers for these speakers because they must be detected automatically by the system when they are connected. I tried unplugging / plugging in different ways.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I quite had the same problem and found the solution: you must uninstall your device, then go to control-online Device Manager Panel => are looking for the "!" symbol on your list, then right click on 'properties' and 'details', you will see a list with weird names (ex: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_10EC & DEV_0662 & SUBSYS_18497662)

    Copy it and go to , paste it into the search bar, and then select your 'Windows' (for me it was 10 Win 64-bit), download the driver and install it. Fact! :-)

    Problem solved ^^ not by Microsoft or Logitech, unable to understand this problem, caused by the update of Windows 10... (-_-(
