I've searched through several forums and googled my life away for this problem to no avail, so now I'll see if any knowledgeable person here can help me.
I just bought an Acer Aspire AX1300 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32x and an Nvidia GE 8200 video card for storing data and, more importantly, to play shows and movies through my 1080p Mitsubishi HDTV. It is connected through native HDMI and the cable is high quality and works perfectly fine with my Gateway laptop to the same TV.
The video looks great as long as the screen is static, like on the desktop or surfing most websites. But as soon as any motion or video is displayed the screen starts to frequently flicker every couple seconds, and sometimes cuts out to black completely for 3-5 seconds, until the TV picks the signal up again.
I've downloaded all the updated drivers and even reverted to an older Nvidia driver through suggestions on their forums but nothing has solved what seems to me should be a simple problem. I also changed the refresh rate (with the new drivers I was only able to select 60Hz or 59Hz, neither helped. The older driver had even lower Hz, but when I tried to change to them the screen automatically reverted back to 60Hz) to no avail.
I'd be incredibly disappointed if I can't fix this as the main reason for the purchase was having a desktop set up to view Netflix on my HDTV. Thanks for any suggestions/help.
