FYI got the desktop flashing stopped - AMD Vega

Sat Aug 29, 2020 11:00 am

Desktop screen flashing with second monitor attached.

I found that if I open/minmise OBS which monitors the second display the flashing on the desktop of the main monitor stops.

So that software's capture driver interferes?

I don't know the cause of the screen flashing.
The screen can be fine for hours and then flashes of some kind of stuff on screen start up.

With OBS running the flashing stops. I've read of AMD screen flashing with two dual monitors installed.
And that's what I've got.

Just hoping that the next AMD cards to be released later this year will not have this problem!

Did you try uninstalling OBS, or disabling its (assumed) capture driver?

Oh, no, I use OBS a lot and don't want to mess with it and the important bit is that the problem goes away...good enough.

I meant, just to test if that's the cause.

"the cause"...that could be having a second monitor attached or having the AMD drivers installed or both.

Don't really want to mess with my "working well enough system" right now, Sorry.

Oh, OBS "stops" the flashing that will pop up during the day at some point.
