Screen Flickering when certain applications load MINTBOX
Posted: Thu Aug 23, 2012 6:38 pm
Hi,
My new Mintbox arrived yesterady. It comes preinstalled with Mint13 Maya.
I notice when I run some applications eg Tomboy notes, (which comes pre-installed), the screen flickers 2 or 3 times in a 2 second period. The operating system is fine, just it looks real ugly.. the monitor displays a kind of interference pattern and it looks for a second like something is seriously wrong..
I use a U2410 24" Dell monitor via HDMI to HDMI, I also tried it only my other newer U2410 monitor, with a 1.5m cable.. but that still flickered too. I also tried connecting cable via display port on the Mintbox, to the HDMI on the monitor, but still same issues.
Is there a problem with interference from inside the mintbot I wounder? I wounder if certain apps use harddisk more etc which causes interference to the circuitry that controls the HDMI/Pisplay Port output?
Does anyone have the same problem or have a solution?
Thank-you very much
