CrimsonAngel Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Ive been using the mac OS for over a year now on this hardware Asus A8N-SLI Nvidia 6600 AMD Athlon 3800+ X2 2 gigs ram and these operating systems on separate hard drives with chameleon RC3 Leopard Snow Leopard Windows 7 For some reason however after about a month in I start experience a graphical glitch, it starts out slowly and then occurs so often it becomes annoying. First it will start whenever I play a video (on any media player or online). The screen will go black for a split second then go blue for a few seconds and then go back into the normal screen. This will constantly repeat itself every so often. However If I make the video window smaller it will some times alleviate this problem. After a while this will occur while i'm on the screen saver, while I use expose, while I use photoshop, when i move windows around quickly. I use an EFI string to get my graphics working, I should also note that I also get the same problems in snow leopard however they occurred from the start and are much more frequent when using Quicktime X than other media players. The strange thing however is that I can play games without any trouble, accept when exiting the game then I sometimes have to go through around 5 minutes of this flashing. Also I am completely unable to play games in windowed mode a few seconds in the screen will start to violently flash making it nearly impossible to regain control without a restart. I have also noticed though If i am able to click another window while the games in windowed mode then the game video will continue playing and there will be no flashing. If anyone could give me suggestions on how to alleviate this problem on leopard I would be very grateful and even more if you had a way to fix this on snow leopard Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196241-flashing-blue-screen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonAngel Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Why is it that no one can help me, no one can even offer me any advice whatsoever. My mac partition is no longer even usable. upon booting it the screen will continuously flash from the desktop to blue to black. The only way I can get in it is by booting in safe mode but that offers me no help since I have no Idea on how to fix it anyway.

CrimsonAngel Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Well I finally fixed it, I removed the EFI string and replaced it with a modified Natit.kext which I found how to modify from here. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=154797 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196241-flashing-blue-screen/#findComment-1331956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
