Question

PC Issue

May 9, 2020 12:57PM PDT

Im wondering if anyone has ever had this issue. I am experiencing a graphic issue. Everytime i type on the keyboard, or plug/unplug in a usb my screen flashes and looks like a negative from a picture then returns to normal and i cannot figure out a cause. Anyone?

Sounds normal to me.

As Windows refreshes a view that may happen.

BUT THE KEYBOARD INPUT DOES NOT SOUND NORMAL. Since you only supplied a symptom and nothing about the PC I can't offer much other than to restore the PC back to a day when it worked right.

began a few days ago, otherwise i've never experienced this problem. like now when im typing it flashes back and forth like an undeveloped negative and then returns to normal. using the mouse is fine. its just using this wireless keyboard which is new but when i installed it it was fine for a few days, then this started. i have a faily old pc. amd processor, evga nvidia gtx 750, 8 gigs ram, running windows 10. its like something is grounding out every time a power source is run thru the system.. if i could post pics i would to give you a better idea. and thanks for replying

I have an older laptop with dual 750's so for that laptop I use the GeForce Experience app to update video drivers. The other drivers are from the laptop maker.

HOWEVER since it's W10 you can rollback to when it worked. There are numerous articles about that on the web.
