So every now and then my computer screen will start to flicker and the screen will shrink to like %60 of it's size like the scaling is messing up. It lags everything out and the mouse keeps resetting itself to the center of the screen. The solution I have found is pressing ctrl alt del and either shutting down or signing off. I cancel it before it finishes either operation and then my computer goes back to normal. It could be something in the background causing it but I am not sure, could it be a virus of some kind?

I see this error in event viewer around the time this occurs as well if this has anything to do with it, some googling didn't seem like the case though. "The server {AB8902B4-09CA-4BB6-B78D-A8F59079A8D5} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."

Any and all tips would be appreciated, thank you! My specs are below.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:

^ instead of using Speccy. Include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model.

BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time? You might want to also open up Device Manager and see if there's any item being flagged with errors.
