I have a D630 w/ integrated graphics. I recently upgraded to bios A13 from A10, latest and greatest.... I thought. However, after using for a few days, I started noticing screen flicker like an old CRT monitors with a low refresh rate. Initially I thought my screen was acting up and I called Dell support. They did their usual troubleshooting to make sure I"m on the latest BIOS and video driver. They couldn't figure out what was wrong so they send out a replacement. Prior to the tech coming, I kept backtracking to what I did and right away thought about the BIOS upgrade. I checked the older version of the BIOS, I see A12 states "Updated Intel Video BIOS". I have a suspicious feeling it is related to that so I instead downgraded back to A10. Booted up and no more flickering... anyone got the same issue??
