I'm getting issues with screen flicker on HDMI. I'll bullet point the issues:

  • Windows login screen (before I enter PIN), screen flicks to black for about a second and then back, on every single login.
  • Screen will randomly do the black flicker, and it's hard to reproduce it on demand.
  • I've run 3D Mark stress test and everything was fine, test passed with no flicker.
  • If the monitor goes to sleep, I can't get it to wake the screen again and have to do a hard reset
  • After hard reset, the Adrenaline reports "Default Radeon WattMan settings has been restored due to unexpected system failure"
  • If the PC goes to sleep after 30mins as per the power options, then when I press the power button the PC starts like it's been shut down as opposed to going to sleep
  • If I boot into safe mode then the flicker on login screen is gone.
  • If I uninstall the driver then the flicker on login screen is gone.
  • As soon as I re-install the driver then the flicker is back
Is any of this sounding familiar to anyone?
