Issue with flickering on Acer Nitro V (AN515-57)?
Issue with flickering on Acer Nitro V (AN515-57)?
Dear all,
I'm seeking advice about the taskbar flickering problem on my laptop. Previously, this wasn't an issue, but it's now occurring. The effect is similar to the one shown in the attached image, though there are no visible vertical lines. It lasts approximately 2-5 seconds before returning to normal.
I'm unsure if these changes contributed:
1. Moving from Windows 11 Home SL to Enterprise – not a clean install.
2. Installing TechPowerUp - ThrottleStop – CPU Turbo disabled.
3. Upgrading RAM from 8GB DDR4 3200MHz to 32GB DDR4 3200MHz.
The system was upgraded from Windows 11 Home SL to Windows 11 Enterprise without a clean install, simply an upgrade. The reason for moving to the Enterprise edition might be related to running DDU to eliminate all GPOU drivers (intel, AMD, Nvidia) in Safe Mode, allowing manual installation of the latest GPU driver from Nvidia's support site.
The use of TechPowerUp - ThrottleStop was intended to manage thermal performance by disabling CPU Turbo. A general task like undervolting could be considered, though it is not directly connected to this discussion.
An upgrade from 8GB DDR4 3200 MHz to 32GB DDR4 3200 MHz was performed. Before installing the new RAM, did you update the BIOS?
Hi, sir. Thank you for your quick reply.
1. My friend provided me with a working Windows 11 key, thinking it was for Pro, but after applying it, it turned out to be Enterprise. I plan to try this DDU again.
3. No, I'm using the newest BIOS on my Acer laptop.
In total, this occurs when I'm not connected to the AC adapter.
You can also connect this to Google Chrome's Graphic Acceleration.
When I disabled that function, I didn't encounter it again.
