the acer nitro 5 eagle 2021's screen is flicked one time per use

about 3 months ago i met the trouble that existed on my laptop nitro 5 eagle 2021. when i use the laptop for basic tasks like YouTube, coding, and online games. The screen is flicked for about 2 seconds meanwhile the sound still operates when i use Youtube. the first thing that springs to my mind is that the fault began with the card driver, i uninstalled the old driver and replaced this with the newest version for Nvidia 3050 on the Nvidia but it was still the same. after that, i installed the newest bios version on acer page but it doesn't change anything. Can someone help me fix this trouble? I still haven't come up with a new method to fix it

Youtube, vimeo, etc videos are notoriously poor indicators of driver/hardware problems as most are neither professionally made nor uploaded. I frequently experience exactly the same problem you describe.

In what specific coding environment and games are you experiencing the same issues? And do you have any 3rd party, non- m icro soft scanners running in the background? How many other apps, browser tabs/instances, etc do you have running at the same time you experience this youtube issue? Do you have at least 16GB RAM?

I've had 16 GB ram. most of the time, I only use Chrome to either watch YouTube or code. I usually met this state that took my laptop from one hour or two hours and the trouble suddenly existed.

Chrome & Edge are resource hogs. Youtube, Vimeo, etc issues like this are common and NOT suggestive of problems with your machine.

So what coding are you also experiencing this issue?

actually, I met this issue when I worked on a Pycharm app and watched YouTube. this problem seems much worse when I tried to watch YouTube for about 4 hours the screen flicked continually just yesterday.

Hi,

The alternatives to try solving flickering issue, would be:

#1 Disable hardware acceleration in browser settings:

#2 Or, disable Multi-Plane Overlay (MPO):

You should re-boot machine AFTER Pycharm is loaded if you want to run videos. This is to assure RAM is fully cleared. Pycharm does not efficiently handle/release cache well under Windows. It may cause issues like this depending how how big its cache grows in a coding session.

The manufacturer informed me that the screen was faulty and it needed to be replaced with a new screen. I don't understand why it was only used for 1.5 years. previously, the fans had to be replaced after three months after purchase.

Doubtful.

Open Control Panel. Search 'button'. Click 'change what the power buttons do' in left pane. Click 'change settings that are currently unavailable' near top of next pane. Scroll down and UNcheck 'fast startup'.

As mentioned earlier, youtube videos are NOT reliable indicators of your machine's hardware or softwaare issues. Some youtube or vimeo videos may have the issues, while others may not.

Pycharm is notorious for causing RAM cache problems under Windows. The longer the coding session lasts, the more likely issues like this will arise. Best to re-boot to clear the cache and start a new session though there may be less reliable ways of doing this without re-booting.

Is your model an515-57 or an515-55? Both models have several bios updates related to display problems.
