Internal display issue at 144Hz - Hp gaming laptop ec1052ax

[Akhil_Kathuria]

I had purchased Hp gaming laptop ec1052ax two years back, and have not messed with any of its software, driver or hardware components in any way.

Issue:

Suddenly, it started giving this issue where the display would flicker weirdly at the top portion of display.

I tried switching to 60Hz and it works without any issues.

After some time, the issue grew and now at 144Hz, the complete display goes black except a narrow strip at the top which shows fine. It does load the display content, but way too slowly and in unresponsive manner, with flickering.

Solutions tried:

Bios update, Hp support assistant & Windows updates, Re-installed amd software & display drivers

I have seen few other posts too here complaining about the same issue, with this and other hp gaming ec**** laptop models.

Seems like this is a fault from manufacturing end & Hp should be the one to remedy this issue & not expect us to pay again to get this fixed.

Any help would be really appreciated, since its tough to stay at 60Hz in some games, when you have seen how 144Hz feels.

Please don't suggest to use Hp Support Assistant, since I've already done that.

Thanks!

EDIT:

For anyone else facing this issue, Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) is the way to go.

Use it to set a custom display refresh rate. What works for me is 1920*1080 at 123Hz.

Thank me later!
