    Hi,

    Since yesterday the screen of my Asus went blinking and moving weirdly, random parts of the screen move or blink, the display does bad and in all the ways. It's still more or less usable but it's difficult. Usable in a sens where I can use Windows menus and start/reboot the computer. But that's all, apps like chrome or firefox are unusable.

    I've tried all the following with no success :
    - Install last graphic card driver
    - system restore impossible (an unspecified error occured during system restore
    0x8007000e)
    - chkdsk /R on C:\
    - system refresh
    - Reinstall Windows 8.1

    Problem is still there it's crazy.
    In the UEFI bios : no problem
    Loading screen with Asus logo at startup : no problem
    Windows installer from USB drive : no problem
    But as soon as Windows runs the problem is there.

    When installing Windows, there's first the setup to create partitions and launch the installation, here no problem, everything goes through and the PC restarts, but when it's done and Windows runs from the very first installation screen to choose a name for the PC, the problem is there.

    Help

    Edit :
    Machine : Asus ROG G551JM-CN105H
    Graphic card : NVIDIA Geforce GTX 860M
    I don't use the battery, it's removed and the PC connected to the sector since more than 1 year

    Hello and welcome Yuwnii. Because the problem doesn't appear until Windows starts loading, we're probably looking at a driver issue.

    Try booting in Safe Mode.

    Hello Tony, thank you very much for your answer. I actually tried going via safe mode several times and the problems is still there when doing so. And surprisingly it's even worst during safe mode. What could it mean ?

    To further narrow down the problem, try plugging in an external screen using the hdmi port.

    You don't need a license key to install W10. Also, given that you have W8 on the system already, W10 should self activate once it's installed.

    W10 can even be installed on W7 system and activated with the W7 key. The reason MS allows this on W7 and W8 systems, is that they want everyone using W10.

    Once W10 is installed, I don't know that you can go back to W8. I know you could revert back when W10 first came out years ago. I don't know if there is still an option to revert back.

    No you can't go back like that. To go back like that, Windows offers the media creation tool for W8.1 as well:
