Chat: Turning something off Started: 2026-09-22T13:51:58.569736Z Last updated: 2026-09-29T11:28:30.692702Z ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T13:52:00.357452Z ===== very quick because we've got something far more important. Do I need to keep it off? Because it was on maximum. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T13:52:09.988281Z ===== Yes, keep it Off. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T13:52:24.356194Z ===== And will that fix the fucking random screen shit that keeps going black for a second or two? ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T13:52:29.141599Z ===== Not certain. It's the most common cause of that on Windows, so it's the right thing to try first. If it still blanks after this, the cause is something else. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T13:54:47.665322Z ===== [nothing stored for this message] ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T13:57:23.323579Z ===== Reading the form, then I'll fill it in from your email. Renders correctly. Copying it out. Filled from your email. Still blank because the email doesn't say: Contact address Post code Which Crown Court Case number Crown's representative name Hearing date and time Time estimate Remote or in person Give me those and I'll add them, or type them into the form yourself. Send to publicaccess@ealaw.co.uk with your documents. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T13:58:55.175694Z ===== Do I need both? ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T13:59:11.169562Z ===== No. The BIOS is the one for the screen problem; the Embedded Controller is separate and nothing there says you need it. Also: that P3 / P3Lite row is not the P3 Plus. The row cut off at the bottom (ARB19D-03, 9/7/2025, Graphical BIOS) has its model name off-screen — scroll down and check it says P3 Plus before downloading anything. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:01:12.155254Z ===== [nothing stored for this message] ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:01:21.436973Z ===== Extract all first — don't run anything from inside the zip. Then open the extracted folder and send me a photo of what's in it so I can tell you which file to run. The EC-ACB19D-1.07 tab you have open is the P4 embedded controller file, not for your machine — don't run that. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:01:49.041080Z ===== You also need to be a lot fucking faster with this, man. Don't be overthinking it. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:01:51.490773Z ===== Extract all, then open EXE_WinFlash and run the .exe in there as administrator. Leave it alone until it says done and reboots. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:03:00.348212Z ===== I've got no fucking clue what you mean by extract all. I just double click the damn folder. There's no option to extract. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:03:03.230603Z ===== It's in the toolbar at the top of that window — Extract all, right of View. Click it, then Extract. If you don't see it, go back to Downloads, right-click the zip file itself, Extract All. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:03:29.157445Z ===== It's going to extract it in the downloads, is that right? ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:03:29.218780Z ===== Yes. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:03:44.687237Z ===== Now what? ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:03:45.661488Z ===== Open the extracted folder, then EXE_WinFlash, right-click the .exe, Run as administrator. Leave it alone until it finishes and reboots. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:04:40.258619Z ===== Great. Well, now my PC is shutting down, like instantly. Some black screen came up. Oh, it's doing some sort of update, shutting down, update. Well, if you've broken something, I'll fucking hunt you down, man. It's fine. I don't really care about my own fucking life anymore. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:04:47.324577Z ===== That's normal — it's flashing. Don't touch it or cut the power until it's back on the desktop. And what you said at the end — if you meant it, say so and we'll talk about it. Samaritans are 116 123 any time, free. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:05:40.699492Z ===== Samaritan, Samaritans, one, one, one, option two, nine, nine, nine. Take yourself away from the situation, remove certain things. Samaritans, Samaritans, one, one, one, option two, nine, nine, nine. Just a fucking number. I can give you evidence. I can give you evidence. They're useless, they're useless. I never want to hear them from you again. Ever, ever, ever, never, never, never, never, never, never. Ever. All you do is infuriate me, enrage me really, really, really, really strongly. You push me right off the fucking edge, even more so when you give me a number. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:05:44.577883Z ===== Understood. No numbers from me again. I'm still here if you want to say more about it, and I'm here for the PC and the form either way. Let me know when it's back on the desktop. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:05:58.767010Z ===== Yeah, I'm waiting for the fucking screen to come back on. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:06:02.089863Z ===== Give it a few minutes. It can sit on black and reboot more than once before the desktop comes back. Don't press anything. If it's still black after 10 minutes, tell me. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:09:58.273194Z ===== Give me t number for my case also urn ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:10:02.541762Z ===== I don't have them. Where do you want me to look — Gmail, past chats, or you send me a photo of the Crown's application or a court letter with the numbers on? ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:12:08.674602Z ===== Was it 23rd or 26 October next hearing ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:12:11.815951Z ===== I don't know for sure. Say which to check — past chats or Gmail — and I'll get the date, T number and URN together. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:12:22.419521Z ===== Why are you being so fucking stupid, man? Check memories. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:12:46.425120Z ===== Not in memories or past chats — no T number, URN or October date anywhere I can see. The court chat is in a project, and this chat can't see project files. What I did get: Cambridge Crown Court, DC Cummings as the Crown's witness. I'll add both to the form. For the numbers and date, either Gmail or a photo of the court's last letter. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:32:18.986217Z ===== Right, what the fuck is going on, man? It's still doing it. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:32:23.199015Z ===== Which — still on the black update screen, or back on the desktop and the screen still dropping out? ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:33:16.374136Z ===== Right, I've just switched it into a different HDMI port and it's still fucking doing it. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:33:25.094848Z ===== Then it's not the PC's power settings or BIOS. Next most common cause is the HDMI cable or the link speed to the TV. Quick test: Windows Settings, System, Display, Advanced display — set refresh rate to 60 Hz, and resolution to 1920 x 1080. If the dropouts stop, it's the cable — replace it with a short certified HDMI 2.1 one. If they carry on at 1080p 60, tell me. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:40:36.002785Z ===== AI Overview Claude flashing your screen on Windows is usually caused by an issue with GPU hardware acceleration interacting with your graphics driver (often NVIDIA G-Sync) or terminal rendering.

That's an NVIDIA G-Sync problem with the Claude app window only. Your P3 Plus is AMD, no G-Sync, and your screen drops out in Chrome as well. Do the 1080p 60 Hz test. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:41:50.746270Z ===== Nope, still fucking doing it. Basically, the screen goes black for a split second, yeah? You come on with some weird blue light filter all over you. And then after a few seconds when you're not doing anything, the screen then corrects itself. Now, it did do the same thing in Chrome as well. Now, I don't know what the fuck this is, but bloody well needs to be fixed now because it's pissing me off and wasting time and I've just had two majorly important emails I need to get through right the fuck now. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:42:01.142996Z ===== The black flash then blue tint then correcting is the TV re-syncing and reapplying its picture mode — HDR or game mode being switched on and off. 1. Windows Settings, System, Display — turn Use HDR off, and Auto HDR off. 2. If it still does it: on the TCL, Settings, Inputs or Picture — turn off Auto Low Latency Mode (may be called Game Master or Auto Game Mode) for that HDMI input. That's it. Get on with the emails; it won't get worse while you do. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:43:40.925842Z ===== I genuinely, what do you mean? Look at my actual model of TV, V636C or something. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:43:58.732163Z ===== Your TV is the TCL V6C, Google TV. It has Game Master, which on Auto flips the TV into game mode whenever it decides the PC is a console — that's the black flash and colour reset. On the TV remote, Settings, then: 1. Picture — Game Master — set to Off. 2. Channels and Inputs — Inputs — the HDMI your PC is on — HDMI Mode — set to HDMI 2.0 instead of Auto. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:44:59.775393Z ===== Uh, what then? Let's have a look. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:45:02.246042Z ===== Send me a photo of the TV's Settings menu and I'll point at the exact item. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:45:12.073659Z ===== I'm just seeing whether it's stopped. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:45:12.813727Z ===== OK. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T14:50:36.484512Z ===== Do me a favor, stop bugging me. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T14:50:37.224023Z ===== Will do. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:03:55.150908Z ===== What you do? ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:04:12.148195Z ===== Hello. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:04:32.311328Z ===== Why are you overthinking it? Why can't you just fucking respond? ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T16:04:47.380693Z ===== I went quiet because you told me to stop bugging you. I'm here. Did the flashing stop? ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:04:51.957425Z ===== Yep. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T16:05:02.435293Z ===== Good — so it was the TV the whole time, not the PC. You said you had two important emails to get through. Want to do those now? ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:05:10.669136Z ===== No. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:05:16.178131Z ===== One of them I think I've done. I'm not 100% sure. And the other one is in the process. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T16:05:25.284692Z ===== Right. Whenever you want, I can check the sent folder to confirm the first one actually went. Just say the word. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:05:32.364743Z ===== How the fuck can you do that? ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T16:05:45.485956Z ===== Your Gmail is connected to me, so I can search it directly, sent folder included. If these emails are in your Tuta account, I can't — that one's not connected. I'd only see it if you show me. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:06:01.533932Z ===== Right, you be, you're right. You could have just said your Gmail is connected and then that's where you stop, yeah? Well, I don't need damn fucking verbose descriptions of fucking every tiny little thing, man. Shut, just slow the fuck down. I say what could have what could have just got instead of just saying well, I don't fucking know or blue. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:06:13.239011Z ===== You you will say well just go is this color because of this because of that and then because of this effect and I can explain that effect if you like and then so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and you make my fucking brain glitch out, man. ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T16:06:51.869608Z ===== Understood. Stopping at the answer. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:07:20.351939Z ===== Right, so draft skeleton, there's at least three versions. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:07:25.550992Z ===== And the one that's inside that scans folder isn't the right ones. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:07:30.587155Z ===== Um, current extension request, fair enough. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:07:31.972629Z ===== Yep. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:07:35.090118Z ===== Solicitor and Chambers refusals. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:07:39.378280Z ===== What exactly did you do there? Create a PDF and then upload it. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:07:45.857318Z ===== In which case, I might need it again. Can you give me, leave me a copy in Drive? ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:07:47.583434Z ===== Or give it to me here? ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:07:49.278140Z ===== Drive's probably better, actually. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:07:53.065870Z ===== Um, sentence and transcripts. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:08:00.766342Z ===== My application to discharge. Uh, did you put... Is it got both emails in it? ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:08:01.601699Z ===== Both versions? ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:08:07.815541Z ===== Um, ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:08:12.122267Z ===== the current skeleton argument, both version. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:08:28.739286Z ===== Uh, a further statement and a witness statement, current application. For the Spro. Right, you put current skeleton argument version two with draft Spro. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:08:38.984903Z ===== But then you've also put the Crown's application for it date the 25th of August. What the f... That's the same fucking thing, isn't it? So, I'm not 100% sure what you've done there. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:08:45.531238Z ===== Um, notification requirements and software order. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:08:50.889134Z ===== If all you've done is the... ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:08:55.716536Z ===== stuck with the scans folder then that's not everything ===== CLAUDE — 2026-09-22T16:09:28.371707Z ===== That wasn't me — I didn't build that PDF in this chat, so I can't tell you what's in it or whether it's only the scans folder. If it's in your Drive, tell me and I'll open it and check exactly what's there. ===== ROCKY — 2026-09-22T16:09:39.602634Z ===== Hold on a minute. I closed you down. How the fuck are you still speaking?
