How To Fix Screen Flickering?

Check and reseat the display cable (HDMI/DisplayPort/VGA) on both ends

Try a different compatible cable

Test with a different monitor/TV (or connect the current display to another device)

Update GPU drivers to the latest version (or roll back if flickering started after an update)

Update monitor firmware (if available)

Change display refresh rate to a stable value (e.g., 60 Hz or the monitor’s native rate)

Change resolution to the monitor’s native resolution

Disable adaptive sync features (G-Sync/FreeSync/VRR) and retest

Disable HDR (if enabled) and retest

Turn off “hardware acceleration” in the affected app/browser and retest

Close and restart the affected app/browser; test in a different browser/app

Check for loose internal connections (desktop/laptop display cable)

Run Windows “Display” troubleshooters (or equivalent OS display diagnostics)

Scan for malware and run system file repair (SFC/DISM on Windows)

Check power settings and disable any aggressive power-saving display options

If using a docking station or adapter, remove it and connect directly; or try a different dock/adapter

Test in Safe Mode to determine if a driver/background app is causing it

Replace the monitor or GPU if the issue persists across devices/cables and after driver updates

Contact support/service if flickering continues after all software/cable checks
