Intel i7-6700k onboard grafic flickering

idata · ‎09-22-2016

Hi,

i just assembled a brand new Computer with an i7-6700k and an Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Mainboard. And i have huge trouble using the onboard grafics!

Did a new Installation of Windows 10 but at the first start the montitor immideatly starts flickering. (se attached Video).

The strange ting is, that the Picture is ok (still some vertical lines on the Screen) when i uninstall the Intel Driver and start using the "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" provided by Windows.

Things i tried so far:

- update to latest Intel driver

- tried several older Intel drivers

- updatet Motherboard bios

- changed to a different DVI cable

- Ran "Intel Processor diagnostic Tool" - whithout any erros occuring

Hope someone has any suggestions what to do.

Regards René

Hello ReneL ,

I'm sorry about the issue you're having with your new computer.

Just checking – the latest Intel® driver is the one from the Intel download center?

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26228/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-and-Windows-7-8-1-15-40- https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26228/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-and-Windows-7-8-1-15-40-

I suggest you to uninstall the old driver and then to go ahead and install the latest one.

Please see http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005598.html Uninstalling the Intel® Graphics Driver and Intel® Display HDMI/Audio Driver

Once the driver is uninstalled, restart your system and then install the latest one that you can download from the link above.

If that does not work, I suggest you to try to install your system with an HDMI cable to see if the problem persists.

Also, with an HDMI cable you will be able to get much better resolution; this is just a suggestion if you have to possibility to do it please let me know how it goes.

Best wishes,

Ivan

Hi Ivan,

that didn´t work out for me.

Even did new Installation of Win10 used the newest drivers - still the same problem.

I did send back both the mainboard and cpu and getting them replaced. I let you know if the problem still occures when i get the new parts.
