Screen flickering again

Question

My laptop specs are:

HP Spectre x360 - 15-bl112dx

Intel Core i-7 8550U CPU

Display Adapters:

Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620

NVIDIA GeForce MX150 

My screen keeps flickering like this whenever there is a change in display which is either when i close my laptop to sleep or switch from charging to battery or turn it off. But if I turn off my laptop for 30-40 mins this issue goes away and this occurs everytime. So i have to waste 30-40 minutes for it to come back to normal.

I have tried updating all drivers. Uninstalling and deleting the driver and then downloading the latest Intel Graphical Drivers.  After suggestions from here ive unistalled and reinstaled my battery drivers as well and changed power settings. I have reset to factory version twice and this issue went away for couple months and now has started again 

please help 

Answer 1

Sleep is also almost entirely controlled and dependent upon the Display driver.

When was the last Clean Install? The reason I ask is because no one who has followed the illustrated steps in this link which compile the best possible Clean Install has ever come back (that I've seen) to report another problem: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki.... It is a better install than any amount of money could buy and a great learning experience that will make you permanently the master of your PC because you will know what works best and have applied it with your own hands.

Short of that there is an automated Refresh that reinstalls WIndows while shedding corrupting factory bloatware, saves only your files, but doesn't clear the drive to get it cleanest: https://www.howtogeek.com/265054/how-to-easily-...

Hi greg 

ive already tried all of those scenarios . 

The display driver is working perfectly fine when its charging and I’m using it. As I mentioned this is only happening when there is a power change to sleep or shut down

Hi Abbinav. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

The latest display driver may not be enough. There may be other recent ones, or older drivers that are more stable. We need to try them all.

Update the Display driver from the PC or Display adapter maker's Support Downloads web page for your exact model number, HP Serial Number or Dell Service Tag - from the sticker on the PC.

While there check also for newer chipset, BIOS/UEFI firmware (very important), network, sound, USB3 and other drivers, comparing to the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu.

if this doesn't give you the latest or ideal driver for what you need, compare it to the driver offered by the Intel driver update Utility here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/...

or the Nvidia Update utility here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=e...

or the AMD autodect utility here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/P...

For Display issues one fix that is working is to Roll back or Uninstall the Driver on the Display Device > Driver tab, restart PC to reinstall driver.

You can also try older drivers in Device Manager > Display device > Driver tab > Update Driver > Browse > Let Me Pick.

Then you will know you've tried everything in addition to Windows Update drivers.

Then adjust the Screen Resolution at Settings > System > Display until it looks best.

Try with Scaling set to 100% if you have it anywhere else.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
