Hi,

After installing the 8350 and the 280X (Dual-x) my screen is flickering every 1 minute approximately, supposedly my 650 EA (antec) should be enough, but not according to sapphire (sorry for the extra-thread)

should i worry about psu insufficiency? (check the 12V and 5V)

The flicker is like a tiny movement of the screen for an instant moving from downwards to upwards. Happens when almost idle (just a chat program and a browser).

Happens under my linux installation too!



These are the stats when back to the 6950 (didnt happen anymore)



Thanks in advance

It seems to be somewhat a common problem. I think I have managed to solve it. So far 10 minutes of Chrome Browsing with no flicker. This was all my procedure:

Before I started, what I did was installing the beta drivers from AMD for the R9 series, so I never used the drivers from the cd.

1. Uninstalled CATALYST and restarted in Safe mode with networking

2. Downloaded GURU3D Driver Sweeper and cleaned my drivers plus disabled windows update driver downloading (all within the app). Also make sure to enable the checkbox that cleans AMD folders.

3. Restarted in normal mode, and installed the CD Version DRIVERS. Restarted again and bam > So far no flickering

Color hints: I tried my previous VGA and the problem didnt happen. Started to happen again when reinstalled the 280X. I tried switching PSU cables, just dont waste your time. And I pressed the dual bios button, if it did anything i will never know...

I will post again if this ever happens again.

Though I wonder why it DID happen also in my ARCHLINUX os
