UHD 630 drivers screen Flashing on MSI GL63 8RC (1080p @ 60Hz)

[BB2]

Hi,

I'm aware this is a really old post and an NUC support topic, but I am also experiencing screen flickering issue due to the UHD 630 drivers on my MSI GL63 8RC, in 1080p resolution 60Hz refresh rate.

Having brightness set to anything less than 100% causes the sceen to flicker. This is some problem that you can fix with a driver update, but it has been so long and yet a fix is not found. Can you please guide me as to how I can fix it? cvare

Hi layman806,

I moved your question over to the "Graphics" community as it will be better served here since you have a MSI* based on system running an Intel Graphics chipset.

Description

Provide a detailed description of the issue

Screen flickers whenever screen brightness set to less than 100%. When the brightness is set to 100% no issue, but my eyes hurt on that level, so it makes little sense to use it that way.

Please place an X to the right of the option showing how often you see this issue using specific steps. (Ex: 'Every few times a game is started it flickers.' <- This would be "Often")<p> 

Always (100%): X

Often (51-99%):

Sporadic (20-50%):

Very Sporadic (<20%):

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. I tried all the above, but the issue persists.

I also sought help from msi support. They suggested a BIOS update and using the msi recommended driver version. That improved the situation but did not solve it. Maybe it is a hardware related issue, and I have asked for a RMA or replacement. I hope they do that and I don't have to go to college without a laptop next month.
