Screen Flickering and then Freezing


 Share

Recommended Posts

When I'm playing Tanki, my screen flickers and then freezes, and it's really annoying.

It's got nothing to do with Tanki or my Internet; I'm sure it's to do with my graphics card.

I've tried updating it, but I already have the latest version.

Anyone know what to do?

And yes, I have heard of Google.

I know it's my graphics card because it doesn't do that when I'm doing other things.

 

I need to play Tanki BTW.

OK I've tried downgrading the graphics card.

It is the graphics card BTW because when it freezes and then recovers a message pops up saying 'The graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 8400 stopped working and has recovered.

The two links provided did not do anything.

This is probably caused by your graphics card. I would suggest turning off the Hardware acceleration. If Tanki works as expected, then the problem is related to hardware or it is caused by a bad driver. As you mentioned you have an NVIDIA GeForce 8400 graphics card. Head to the NVIDIA driver download page and download the latest driver. Select GeForce 8 Series and after that select your model and your OS. If the problem persists even after the driver update, I think you should permanently disable Hardware acceleration.

Selena, try making a 'clean install' of your drivers.

How:

 

1.Install the program Driver Sweeper (click to download, just wait.No viruses, don't worry.)

 

2.Uninstall all of your graphics card drivers from the Control Panel.Then it will want restart - RESTART.

3.After you restarted, enter in Safe Mode (restart - the pc shuts down, then turns on, when it starts turning on, press F8 many times, until you enter in the BIOS.Then, from the menu choose 'Safe Mode' - Windows will start loading system files, after that you will see your Desktop, it its corners a text 'Safe Mode' will appear - that means you are in Safe Mode now.)

 

4.While you are in Safe Mode, start the Driver Sweeper.A list of components will appear - choose/tick 'NVIDIA Graphics/Video' (or something similar), then click 'Analyse'.The program will find all display drivers.When it finds them, click 'Clean'.Now, display will change, obviously because your Graphics card won't work (no drivers).Leave it like that.

 

5.RESTART.

6.Download and install all the latest drivers for your Graphics Card.

7.RESTART again.

 

Now try the game, it's 90% sure that the problem will be solved.
