Man. I have been getting this as well, figu= red it was just a fluke of my system so I never brought it up. About once o= r twice a day or so I'll get it.

I run AMD Radeon HD 6970.

I can fix it by quickly pressing the Windows key to bring up= the start menu, that seems to force a redraw of the screen and everything = is back to normal.
Now that you are on Win8 the win key of course= works a bit differently. Maybe try to press Win+C to bring up the clock an= d Charms menu and see if that forces a redraw too and stops the flickering.=

Hello,

This is probabl= y suited for Todd but if anyone else has experienced this, I appreciate the= help. =A0I keep getting what I've been referring to as an epileptic fi= t with AE. =A0That seems the best way to describe it. =A0Every once in a wh= ile (too often) it just starts this spasming and flickering where I see all= of the other windows showing through as it flickers. =A0I've never los= t anything due to this but it goes for like a full minute or more sometimes= before it stops.

Any thoughts on what could cause this? =A0I purge my me= mory probably way more than necessary, thinking that might help but it does= n't.

I'm running windows 8 and it's do= ne it quite a bit and more so since the recent update to 8.1.

Any settings or anything that could cause this?

Thanks,
Eric
