Intel Nuc and Fortran

[JohnNichols]

I was using my DELL machine to run a large Fortran program with a mean run time of 20 hours, so I started to use my NUC for some minor Fortran coding. 

From time to time whilst running said program the screen blanks, it is for a few seconds and it is interesting. 

So I Iooked on the internet and it suggested to update a HDMI driver, did not fix the problem. 

So I thought reinstall the old graphics 620 driver and see if that worked, it did not. 

So just back to the new driver and live with the problem, 

Intel driver updater said in response, the old driver has some manufacturers added features, we cannot proceed - download the latest driver from the manufacturers site.   It was an endless do loop for about 30 minutes. 

An interesting little challenge. I wonder how many interesting things reside on the web.

LOL, I created a new Fortran project in VS 2022 and now the screen flashes every 20 seconds.  

Some one in the ether has a sense of humour, or my monitor is broken.

Does

program
    pause
end program

flash?

No.  It is interesting, I think it relates to the old NUCS and the HDMI cables, but it is the only cable I can use.  

But why Fortran sets it off, no idea.

If the pause doesn't flash, then something in your program is at fault.

What is happening in your program? (what does your code do?)
