HD4600 Flickering

[KPeci]

My laptop Acer v3-772G started to flicker just after i installed HD4600 drivers. I tried to delete those and flickering was gone so its only those drivers that causes the problem. Flickering is only visible in darker background like dark drey. How can i fix this problem?

Hi ksprs56,

I would like to recommend some steps but I will need to get some information about your system. Can you please post your dxdiag report?

[KPeci]

Hi, nice that there is some people that are willing to help

I also noticed that it I have HD4600 drivers installed it doesn't create flickers while screen brightness is at it's highest. When I try to reduce brightness it start to appear and gets stronger as I reducing it.

Hi ksprs56,

Thanks for the Information.

Please try updating the bios first in your system. You can get the driver at the following link:

http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers

After doing this, I recommend doing a power cycle by shutting down the unit, disconnecting the battery from the back and pressing and holding the power button for about 30 seconds. Then reconnect the battery and turn it on.

You can try also our generic graphics driver that can be downloaded at the following link:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23405&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20(64-bit)*&DownloadType=Drivers https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23405&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20(64-bit)*&DownloadType=Drivers

Before installing it, make sure the current driver is uninstalled from device manager first.
