Hi @PRAJOTH,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If your HP Pavilion Gaming 15-dk0050tx laptop is experiencing screen flickering, and you've already tried standard troubleshooting steps, we can narrow it down to either driver/software issues or a hardware fault.

Here’s how to break it down and identify the cause:

Step 1: Isolate the Cause with Task Manager

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
• If Task Manager flickers, it’s likely a graphics driver or hardware issue.
• If Task Manager does not flicker but the rest of the screen does, it’s likely a software conflict.

Step 2: Update or Reinstall Display Drivers

Even if you’ve updated drivers, it’s worth doing a clean reinstall:

1. Uninstall the Graphics Drivers:
   • Go to Device Manager → Expand Display adapters.
   • Right-click both Intel UHD Graphics and NVIDIA GTX 1650 (or your dedicated GPU).
   • Click Uninstall device, check Delete the driver software, then reboot.

Step 3: External Monitor Test

• Connect your laptop to an external monitor or TV via HDMI.
  • If the external display flickers too → it’s likely a GPU or driver issue.
  • If only the laptop screen flickers → it's likely a faulty display cable, screen, or inverter.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
