Blinking ui problem

Im not sure if this is good place to post it but w/e
When im multiboxing wow my ui is starting to 'blink' and that 'blinking' is starting almost always when i want to change my main wow with another one.
Restarting my character set helps but doing that every couple minutes is kinda annoying. I was trying to fix that by changing cpu strategy, wow settings and updating video drivers. Im using 2 monitors but when i was multiboxing on one this also happened so basically i have no idea why this is going on.
Anyone can help me here?

Re: Blinking ui problem

Sounds like you are sending Alt-Z which is bound to 'Toggle UI' in WoW.

100% sure its not the problem because it sometimes starts after switching wow's and sometimes just without doing anything.

Re: Blinking ui problem

What type of video card and power supply do you have? And what settings are you trying to run your game clients at?

And the comments on that video describe what can cause those issues and how to fix them.

Re: Blinking ui problem

That video shows a lot more than just a small flicker. That's called "artifacting" and if that's what you're experiencing it's usually related to your GPU having bad memory, your GPU overheating, or your PSU not supplying enough power to your GPU.
