HELP! My monitor is blacking out
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2016 1:20 am
Hi there,
This is an update to that earlier post fwded below this text, the black out flickerings disappeared for all that time, but now they are back for good, and to a point that makes it impossible to work at all.
The issue occurs only on the integrated display, that is
I have found a workaround and it works a treat, I scaled down the resolution to 1380x768 for time being, however I would be interested if there was a way to identify what is happening and hopefully find a reliable way to fix it.
Not sure if the driver is to be blamed but it's the version 9.17.10.4459 Intel Sandy Bridge-MB GT2+ - Integrated Graphics Controller [D2/J1/Q0] [Lenovo]
Monitor Name: Lenovo B156HW01 V4
Monitor Hardware ID: Monitor\LEN40B2
It could also be the way it is configured by default however I had a look in the graphic properties however everything looked conform to my knowledge.
Thanks

Yes so it looks like the intel graphics is running a muck now. It flashes black for a few seconds then back to normal, every couple of minutes.
Is it the bit where I have to change my motherboard
