Screen keeps flashing to black during editing

[thomasj19671018]

Screen keeps flashing to black during editing. This started with the last serveral updates to Photoshop both reg and beta. I am using the same Nivida 4080 GPU for two years and I keep the driver up-to-date.  It does not matter if I use the Studio Driver or the Game Ready Driver. There have been no other changes to hardware or software.

Try to disable the option to "Use Graphics Procesor" from Photoshop by going to Preferences, then Performance. Once done, quit & relaunch Photoshop to check if that helps.

If it helps, you can check out the steps suggested here:  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-gpu-graphics-card.html

If the issue persists, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps described here:

Reset preferences

Please backup your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check:

Migrate presets, actions, and settings (adobe.com)

Another try is to enable the Older GPU Mode option in "Preferences" > "Technology Previews" > "Use Older GPU Mode (pre 2016)".

Then goto "Preferences" > "Technology Previews" and disable "Enable Modern User Interface". Restart Photoshop.

If this all doesn't help, we need more informations about your system. Maybe you can post your Photoshop system info. In Photoshop goto Help > System Info and hit the copy button. Then paste the entire informations into this thread.
