Improper hardware acceleration settings are a common cause of video display problems. Some issues include mouse instability, screen image distortions, blinking LCD screens and other flat-screen monitor issues. Since each multimedia application uses specific hardware acceleration settings, what works for one may not work for another. You can most often solve any flashing screen problem by focusing your troubleshooting in two likely areas. First, look closely at hardware driver compatibility; second, verify the hardware acceleration settings.
