I am running a very similar setup to all you guys, with the i7 920, 6gb of corsair 88824 ram, but I have an nvidia 9800 gtx ocx + card and have the black flickering as well. It happens most to me when I'm in the trees, crouching behind a bush or a rock.

same issue here

9800GTX+

solution please its bloody annoying!

I turned down shadows to low and it seemed to help the problem a lot. I still get it on occasion, but not nearly as much as before, maybe try that.

turn off bloom in your settings file. this fixed it for me... also its not just the nvidia 200 series... i had it with the 400 series.

Same problem here flashing black screen sometimes I might get a round of no black screen but most are riddled with it.

when this first started I only had 1 GTX275 and I had the issue on that card. I then bought a second card and it still does it. I used every driver version since Dec to present and I get the flashing black screen.

I got this same problem. It seems odd that there are soooo many posts to say that this is happening... but I have only seen one suggested way to fix this (Turning Bloom off). I have not tried it yet but will do later.

Just to confirm i have the same issue. My screen goes black, however I am still able to see the colored markers and player names... just no textures at all.

Don't think its just nvidia, im getting black flashing every now and then also. Usually only last a second or 2 but one lasted for 10 seconds of just black.

I hope someone finds a solution. Its not life threatening but really annoying

Negative i have a 9800 GTX+ for right now and it does the same thing to me...

another confirmed case here. mostly on one map.

I was able to solve my problem with the new patch causing the game to a white screen with multiplayer on PC. Upon the initial login to any server my game would go to a white screen then black. I could here the sounds of the game just fine. Eventually it would go back to the desktop, if I waited long enough. I found an article that that explain about the settings.ini file. I went and set the DirectX setting to 10. The NVidia cards in my computer are 2 x 275 in SLI mode. The 275 was only meant to be a DirectX 10 card. So, I set it to 10 and then I ran a game for more than 30 minutes with no crashes. The PC controls IMO are much better than 360 for Bad Company 2.

I have nVidia 9600... I also have seen the black flashing, and it gets really annoying. Sometimes the screen will stay black for a few seconds at a time.

This is the same issue, I also have experienced it. I have an nVidia 9600 GT...It's good, but not the best in the world or anything. I play on just about maxed out specs for most of my games.

Any fixes?
