For anyone in the future that stumbles on to this, the problem was my monitor. I used my monitor on another computer and it showed the same flickering. Replaced it with a new one and all my problems were solved.

Specs: Mobo: B85M DS3H A CPU: i7 4790k Gpu: Gtx 1070 PSU: insignia pcw5250 520W Ram: 8GB x 2 G.SKILL Ripjaws x Series When I turn on my PC, my screen will quickly flicker on and off every 7 seconds. What's weird is that if I keep restarting my computer like 7 to 9 times, my monitor will work...
