Screen flickering + colours being strange(1)Category: Technical SupportMay-20-2013 5:13 AM PDT (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Hi everyone. I have a very recent problem where my screen flickers and colours seem to change/be at a lower resolution.

I tried to do a print screen but its not capturing the flickering and its only when it flickers that the colours change.

Now ive been playing D3 from day 1 with this exact setup. Didnt install any new hardware nor software. This issue just happened the last couple of days. This doesnt happen with other games and my hardware is functioning propperlly (no overheating, lack of power, etc) I run temp monitors everytime im in games via a lcd so i would notice it.

Another important fact is, if i swap to "windowed" or "windowed fullscreen" mode this issue stops happening. But yeah i've been playing since forever on pure "fullscreen" mode so i find this strange.

I run a i7 920 processor
2 x a gtx285 in SLI
on a 1000W power supply.

Also checked for virus and nothing
VSync is on, tried turning it off and disable+enable the front/back fps slider and nothing changes

Let me know if you need a dxDiag report

Many thanks in advance

Morph,

Try "breaking" the SLI config in the Nvidia Control panel and running with a single gpu and see if the symptom changes. If it's still there, switch the monitor cable over to the other video card and try again. If it still fails, we'll be fairly certain neither video card is responsible at least and can go on from there.
