So I bought brand new R9 280X grap card and connected to Tv via HDMI. Downloaded 14.4 drivers.

The problem is this:
Whenever I go to YT or watch some movie via Bs player or VLC player every few seconds the screen goes black on 2 or 3 seconds and then returns to normal. The problem has no time rule when it will happen. It can be ok for over an hour and it can go black few times in 10 minutes.

This is the message I get:

I tried with 14.4, 14.9 and Omega drivers... same problem.

Does anyone had or have same problem or does anyone have some solution?

Thanks in advance!

You could try changing the pixel format in the drivers. It's under "my digital flat panels". I use limited rgb personally. Most TVs don't work properly with full rgb. It defaults to ycbcr but I was getting some issues with it that way as well.

Get MPC-HC with MadVR, set your GPU to full RGB, set MadVR to 0-255, and then set your TV to accept it. This will leave your TV to do the only level conversion, and your TV will do a better job of converting 0-255 to 16-235 than the GPU will. Your GPU does everything internally at 0-255, so even if you set it to do 16-235, it still down-converts from 0-255, and it does a lower quality job than the TV.

Pic link isn't working.


Can you try to a typical computer screen setup via hdmi or DVI?

Do games run fine?

Are the youtube vids presenting issue if windowed and/or full screen?

I did, on typical computer screen everything is ok.

Games run fine! No error or black screens etc...

As far as I know, it only flickers when is in full window mode

I would first make sure your flash is up to date. YouTube is most likely displaying the videos with flash (you have to force it to use html 5 last I checked). And flash will use your GPU for offloading, although you can disable this in the flash settings.

If disabling flash fixes your issue, then you know where to start looking.

Ok.

But what about BS player or VLC player?

Maybe it's a cheap HDMI cable and has an internal fault? Try a different HDMI cable?
