Yup a flicker problem is 90% caused by something running in the background.
Good catch by you for figuring which one was effecting you, another popular candidate is the Music Match processes, quite a few people have problems with them.
 
Interesting, I don't use anything like that myself, so thanks for pointing these things out to me.
 
Yup that part I knew from previous discussion, I just don't have a list of all the ones that do that. :)
 
Those CPU cooler, as I say I don't use one, how do they work exactly?
I can't see anyway they could cool the CPU, the only thing they can do is cause the CPU to reduce the amount of heat it is generating. The only way I can see to do that is to artificialy reduce it's speed. I don't really see the point of having a fast processor if I then have to slow it down because they did not design it to be able to with stand the heat it generates itself.
 
So I was right about how they worked, but it is interesting that they monitor usage and use that as a guide for speed. I assumed it was just a thermostate thing where when it pickup a too hot level it cycled the proccess down.

Never off topic to discuss how hardware works in the support forum. ;)
Particularly if you are talking to me. :)
 
Well at least you found a workaround of shuting that off.
