Is my laptop screen flickering due to hardware or software issues?
Asked by

My HP Pavilion Gaming 15 laptop, running Windows 11 (24H2), has started to flicker on the screen randomly. This happens a lot, especially since I'm in an area with frequent voltage surges. I can't attach a video to show the problem, so I'm looking for advice on whether I should replace the screen or if it might be a software issue instead.

So I connected my laptop to a second screen as suggested, and the flickering didn't show up there. I also made sure my graphics card drivers are all updated, but I'm still feeling frustrated with this issue. Any ideas on what I should try next?

Try connecting your laptop to an external display, like a monitor or TV. If the flickering doesn't happen there, it's likely a problem with your laptop's screen or cable rather than the graphics card. If it flickers on both, then it could be a software issue or something with your GPU.
