I bought an HP Omen 16 a few months ago, and after only 2.5 months, I started facing issues. I noticed shimmering in nearly all games, along with ghosting around the screen and vehicles when frame generation is enabled.
Here’s what I’ve done to troubleshoot:
– Tested all upscalers (DLSS, XeSS, FSR, TAA), but the issue persists.
– Reinstalled the GPU driver.
– Performed a clean Windows installation.
– Reinstalled all drivers from HP Support.
– Reinstalled the games.
– Used HP Cloud Recovery.
– Updated the BIOS.
