When using Google Earth, when I pan the map the application flickers white randomly.
The full window turns white for a very short time and I can see "Not Responding" flicker in the title bar.

Why does Google Earth flicker and what can I do about it?

MS Windows 7 64-bit
Intel Core i7 720QM
4.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3-1333
CLEVO CO. W870CU
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285M
320GB Seagate Momentus 7200.3

The drivers are up-to-date and the temperatures are fine.

Step 1: Clearing Your Cache

Try going into Google Earth, and click Tools -> Options and in the 3D View, try switching between OpenGL / DirectX, or modifying some of the other settings such as Antialiasing.

If nothing else, this could very well be a bug in the graphics drivers you are using.
