Computer freezes and monitor starts to flicker.

[Gnay__]

Hi everyone, so, I was playing blade and soul on my tv screen while watching twitch on my acer monitor and my computer for some reason froze causing both my tv and my acer to flicker. I left it flickering for bout 3-5minutes an decided to reboot my computer. After doing so, my Acer monitor didn't stop flickering. In addition, when a application notification appears, I am able to see a light image of twitch when my computer flickers. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks in advance!

What are your pc specs? usually flickering could be caused by a bad port on the gpu , gpu is going bad or overheating, and also could be a bad driver install .Try reinstalling drivers with ddu.

My PC specs are:
i7-4790k @ 4.00GHz
8.00 GB RAM
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960
I will try reinstalling my drivers. Thanks for replying! Oh right, i forgot to mention that i also tested my ps4 with the monitor and the flickering still occurred, so it probably isn't my video card.

Then it seems pretty pointless to reinstall your video drivers.

Your issue is pretty confusing though:
1. PS4 + monitor = flicker
2. PC + monitor + TV = flicker

I'm not sure why you'd get flickering on the HDTV if the monitor was the problem source, but it does appear to be the only connection thus far.

*I suggest testing with your monitor DISCONNECTED for a while. Just the PC + HDTV. If you don't see any major issues then your PC is probably just fine.

Update:
With the PS4, I suggest testing again without the PC connected to the monitor. Just unhook the cable from the rear of the PC. It still feels to me like an issue with the video card on your PC since I can't understand how the HDTV would also flicker. Other than the PC there's no physical connection between the monitor and HDTV.

Hey photonboy, Thanks for replying! but i'm just gonna give up for now, i still have to figure out whats causing my computer to freeze and having gray screens while playing blade and soul. This is all giving me a headache and i don't have the time to investigate and experiment atm. I appreciate your time.
