Well, as the tittle said my laptop started to flash the screen. It was working perfectly but this week i dunno what happened to it. The screen keeps flashing when i try to use 3d or when i put 120hz refresh rate.

Already tried to install old nvidia drivers but it wont work. Im thinking about to make a video showing the problem.. is this really necessary?

So:

Problem: Flashing screen while using 120hz
OS: W7
Machine: G73SW-3DE
Tries:
a- Installing nvidia old driver (265.96)
b- Tried system restoration but not worked
c- Without battery this problem dont happens

Help me asus or anyone !

Hi there,

since you already did restoring to no avail. Have you consider doing a clean install for your G73?

It sounds like you could possibly have a bad battery. I recommend you PM Chastity@ASUS on this forum and open a case.

Well the problem is back.. thats not an battery issue.

I think its when the gpu gets a lil hot or something around 60º, 70+

But with battery the problem happens everytime.

Thanks for answering ill contact that guy.

This issue is most likely a bad or incorrect cable. We have the correct cabled and Chastity will be able to set up an RMA to have you send the unit in to be fixed ASAP.
