Screen flickering black while fullscreen

nebulashadow · Dec 30, 2013

Hello, I have looked around for answers to this issue but it seems to be machine-specific. Recently, when I have tried to run FurMark or some games in fullscreen I get a black flickering. I can still see the game, it just seems that every other frame is black and I can't figure out the issue. I have tried my card at stock speeds to see if my overclock was an issue, but this didn't fix it. I have the newest drivers and here are the specs of my build.

Windows 8 64-bit
Asrock z77 extreme4 motherboard
Intel 3570k processor 4.5GHz
Cooler Master Hyper 212
8 GB G.Skill Ripjaws RAM
MSI 660TI PE primary video card
EVGA 550TI dedicated to Physx
Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD

Any help is appreciated to end the flickering. Thanks all.

Hmmm.. is this a new build? If it is I would point to a bad gpu.. but it doesn't seem like it's a new one so maybe see if it's an issue with using the 550Ti as the physx processor. Maybe it's screwing up the furmark rendering? Just an idea.. no experience with hybrid SLIs like yours.. though its too early to rule out a bad gpu. Maybe you can take out each of the cards to run it as the dedicated to see if one of the gpus have gone kaput? its entirely possible after a good few years in service that a card will randomly run off and die. If none of the GPUs show artifacting then perhaps do a clean install of windows and the Geforce drivers. If you don't want to completely re-install windows, just do the drivers. Which games does the black flickering happen in? The fact that its some games and only flickering leads me to believe the 550Ti is trying to find its pension soon..

Honestly, the only game I have noticed so far with the issue is Crayon Physics of all titles. My more demanding titles seem to be fine, and when games and programs are windowed they run normally. I am able to run more demanding titles with no issues, Crysis, Civ 5, etc. Pretty odd. Also, this is not a new build. Had it for around a year now and just now started getting this issue.
