Hello! I have a problem with my HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop. Every time I connect my phone (Iphone 12) to my laptop, for hotspot through cable (it's more stable that hotspot via wi-fi), my display starts flickering. I have iTunes installed on laptop. I need to say that, I have another laptop Acer for work with windows 10 installed, and when I do the same thing (connecting the phone to the laptop for hotspot, nothing wrong happens.)
Moreover, I noticed that only when I have phone connected to the HP Laptop, I receive from time to time blue screen and every time a different code:
- CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED (the last one)
- SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
- RESOURCE_NOT_OWNED
- KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
I tried a lot of things (found on internet) to stop this "flicker" and to fix the blue screen, but nothing works.
Things tried to fix the "flicker": - update the drivers;
- update the windows;
- changed device settings to not update the driver automatically, and installed the proper driver for AMD and NVIDIA;
- change the resolution;
- fix all the problems with HP Assistant;
- installed the last version of iTunes;
Things tried to fix the blue screen:
- Running System File Checker;
- Remove the battery;
- Running DISM;
- Everything related to HP software's (HP assistant; Diagnostic, etc);
- Downloaded WinDbg Previewer and try some things with the dump files;

Hi @danmihai2205,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be happy to help you!
Excellent description and a great diagnosis. It is greatly appreciated.
Update the Bios- The update installs on supported computer models using a supported Microsoft Windows Operating System. Restart the system to complete the installation. Click here
Once that is done, update the graphics driver for AMD Click here
