My 8790 is currently having screen flickering issues.
In the past, the video memory was damaged (without me doing any overclocking or ventilation blocking) and it took them a two months to figure that out, then another two months to fix it without screwing something else up. When I got the computer back, the switch that turns off the LCD when the screen is closed was malfunctioning. The warranty company said this wasn't their problem, and I was just worried about having my computer back before finals to send it back to them. So now the flickering happens. I've gotten used to fiddling with the little tab to ensure the monitor stays on, but this flickering isn't fixed by that. I took off the keyboard and the silver facade right above the keyboard, and ensured that the plugs on the left were all solidly where they should be. Unfortunately, that didn't do anything, and my problem is still here. It will randomly start even if the computer is just sitting there, and doesn't seem to be affected by whatever I'm doing. If this is something that I need to send it back to the warranty company for, I'm going to "encourage" them to just buy me a macbook pro. I'm sick of this.
