AOC monitor flickering pink-ish

[z3r0p0int]

Hey everyone, I asked this a couple of days ago but nobody really seemed like they had an answer, and something has changed. Basically the story is I powered on the computer and left it idling, went out and came back 3 hours later, when I switched on the monitor it was flickering constant pink/purple. The next day i powered it on again and this time it flickered the same pink/purple pixels/lines (you couldnt see anything in terms of the desktop) and there were waves of pixels dropping down from the top to the bottom, however every 3-4 sec it showed the desktop in a pink-ish color and then went back to flickering. I powered it off and went away for a couple of days and today I decided to try and power it on again. It started flickering like before, however after 3-4 seconds it showed the desktop normally, no pink colors, then went back to flickering > clear > flickering > clear. It seems like every passing day i turn it on it does something differently. (I tried switching the HDMI cable, power cable, different computer, different socket etc). What would be the cause of this problem?

I plugged it into a completely separate station to see if anything changes and it was exactly the same.

Got the same thing with mine but only when I set it to 144hz I have a nivida card in my PC but that should not be a problem am using DVI ports
Taking the monitor back to the shop for replacing see if there is anything going on and putting a RX570 in see what the result is
