Hi all,

Hoping that you guys can give me some advice on a problem i have been encountering. every time i turn my computer off and back on the screen flickers every 10 - 25 seconds. and you get the windows sound as if something is being unplugged all the time. now i uninstall the Nvidia drivers and restart and reinstall them everything is perfect again, but as soon as i restart again the problem returns.

the GPU is an EVGA 1080 FTW

If you need any more information please ask and additionally if you can provide any help that would be fantastic!

Cheers

Joe
 
Is this a new build ? Did you have problems with previous card ? Flickers like turns off and on or what kind of flickering are we talking about ? what kind of monitor it is ?
 
Sounds like it keeps reinstalling the card, I would check the card and cables are plugged in properly, also run DDU before you reinstall the drivers to make sure it's removed all the old ones.
 
Hi sorry for the late reply I have tried reseating the GPU I have tried a new display port cable, moved the power cables into a new slot on the PSU unable to change the PCIE slot (CASE too small for me to put it into another one)

What I need to know is it the GPU or my G-sync monitor? both are under warranty and need to act on them now so that I can get it sorted :-)

strange thing that seems to fix the issue as well is when I turn on shadow play in Geforce experience the issue stops when I turn it off it returns I don't know if that helps someone diagnose the issue?


Thank you for all the help at the moment.
 
If you have 144hz monitor, set it to 120hz. Then go to NV official forum and add your voice to fix this.

Is know issue since May and only 368.xx drivers are not affected.

mate I have exactly the same problem with a borrowed GPU, its my brothers,it happens on web pages when i scroll the wheel up and down, i get the same flickering, on a evga 1080 classy I too have a 144hz monitor.

Funny thing is it stops on 120hz or when stuff is windowed, I really think its an issue with evga cards as asus 1070s do not have this problem.

is it driver? is it incompatibility? Ive asked him to get a rma immediately from ocuk but now i think it may be somthing else?

so have you fixed it or did you get any info on evga forums?

Is issue with ALL 1080s. I have Armor OC. It all depends the monitor & 1080.

The problem is related to the idle clocks on desktop. If they are low like 202 you going to have flickering, if somehow they are high (happens, eg after playing a game) you are fine.

While gaming the issue doesn't exist

G-Sync could be part of the problem. I have noticed the Windows noise for something being disconnected and then reconnected on mine when it is left alone for a while, and that's followed by the message which says a G-Sync monitor is connected - do you ever see that message too?

For me it's only a minor annoyance because it sometimes disables G-Sync and requires a restart to get it to enable again, but I've started just disabling G-Sync until I go into a game. Have you tried disabling G-Sync or using a different monitor?

I don't get the message but when i first boot up i get the noise 3 times then it settles, since i have moved to 120hz i haven't had the problem as stated above. so not too sure what the problem is. if i find the Nvidia forum post i will link it in here.

well a lot of people on the evga forums are saying to roll back to the:

"368.81-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql"

driver, ive done it now and 144hz seems working fine with no stuttering, so Ive told my bro that i'll hold on to his card for a few more days and see how it goes.

What confuses me is asus 1070 cards and 980ti cards dont have this issue on any drivers, also an apparent fix on the latest drivers as advised by nvidia? but a roll back to 368.81 sorts it, weird...
