Acer Predator Helios 300:i7 11Gen & RTX 3050Ti- Display Issue

I am using Acer Predator Helios 300; i7 11Gen & RTX 3050Ti. I bought this laptop 2 years earlier. That time I had an issue with my display. I faced taskbar & display burn problem & the ghost image on my display. Now after 2 years as I don't use my laptop that much, I notice that same problem is occurring again( 2 years ago I replaced my display from the original service center as that was on my warranty range). But this time after opening a tab for a few minutes this problem gets started. Then I use screen burn fix type YouTube videos & it gets fixed. But why I am facing this problem from a premium laptop?

What is the model of the screen? Try to identify it in Device Manager or by 3rd party software like Aida64. There are some very problematic panels like e.g. LM156LF2F series, B173ZAN01.0, etc. and the only chance for you to get rid of the defects is to replace with a different model or type (upgrade/downgrade the screen).

The Acer Predator Helios 300 can experience display issues such as flickering, pink screens, or even complete blackouts. These problems can stem from a variety of causes, including outdated or incompatible display drivers, faulty hardware, overheating, or software conflicts.

Here's a breakdown of potential causes and troubleshooting steps:
1. Software Issues:
Outdated or Incompatible Drivers:
Ensure your display drivers are up to date, especially if you've recently updated your operating system or installed new software.
Software Conflicts:
Certain applications or games can interfere with the display, causing flickering or other issues.
Incorrect Refresh Rate:
Check your refresh rate settings in Windows and make sure it's compatible with your display.
Windows Task Manager Test:
If the Task Manager is also flickering, it's likely a software-related problem.
Troubleshooting Steps:
Update Drivers:
Download the latest drivers from Acer or the GPU manufacturer (Nvidia or AMD).
Clean Boot:
Perform a clean boot to disable non-essential startup programs and services that might be causing conflicts.

System Restore:
If the problem started recently, try restoring your system to a previous state before the issue occurred.
2. Hardware Issues:
Loose Connections:
Check the display cable connection inside the laptop, both at the motherboard and the display panel.
Faulty Screen:
If the problem persists even in the BIOS, it's likely a hardware issue with the display panel itself.
Overheating: Make sure your laptop isn't overheating, as this can cause display instability.

Troubleshooting Steps:
External Monitor Test: Connect an external monitor to your laptop. If the external monitor works fine, the issue is likely with the laptop's screen or its connection.
Professional Repair: If the problem is with the screen or its connection, it's best to contact Acer support or a qualified laptop repair service.
Clean Vents: Ensure proper airflow by cleaning the vents and fans of dust and debris.
