HP Envy 17 Notebook PC Flickering display. Solved see last post by me!

[Thorpey]

Just started this morning, suspect I may of had an upgrade applied. Flicker not on Desktop only inside windows and apps.

Flicker only happens when mouse is moved or clicked, Also happens when any movement on screen. Must be Firmware/Software.

If I go into Control Panel\System and Security\System Advanced System Settings Performance and select Settings, Adjust for best Performance it gets better but still a slight flicker.

Only had this very expensive laptop since May 2011.

Sorted!

Download new BIOS for your make and model, seems to be an issue with the latest graphics software.

Find your Envy here:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/siteHome?cc=us&lc=en

Enter and select your model.

Select OS

From list of available Software & Driver Downloads 

Select and download

HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors)

The BIOS updater will run and laptop will reboot, once I had rebooted flicker gone, happy days!

If this helps, please give me koudos!

Thank you so much!  I had exactly the same problem and searched all over the web for the fix.  Finally stumbled upon your post, did the BIOS update on my hp Envy and it worked like a gem.  I wish I had found it sooner.  I swear I've had this problem a few times, and in the past thought it was a virus.  I never was sure how I got it fixed in the past.  I'm saving your instructions in case I have the problem again!

I bought this computer 1 week ago and it started flickering during the setup. I have updated the driver and BIOS as described here. It worked for about 4 hours and started flickering again. Any more ideas?
