Hello,
I am having this problem that my screensavers start flickering after being displayed for a while. I have my GPU overclocked, so at first I thought it was that, so I reduced the clock back to normal, but the flickering continued. Then I quit the overclocking application completely (RivaTuner) and the flickering continued. The only thing that has changed since the flickering started is I updated to the newest WHQL nvidia drivers, but I haven't seen anyone else on the web having this issue with these drivers. I've updated BOINC from 6.2.19 to 6.4.3 and that hasn't fixed it. Does it seem like my only hope is to roll back the gfx drivers?

Jack,

Did rolling back the drivers fix this?

What kind of flicker was it?
