Hey all,
In mid-November, I built a new PC. The specs are as follows:
Ryzen 5 3600
b450 Tomahawk Max
2x8gb ddr4 Corsair Vengeance LPX
Evga 550 B3
I then moved over my GPU from my old PC which is a 1070ti (which is only a year old) along with my SSDs.
Everything was working fine for the first few weeks and now, all of a sudden, I'm having a lot of issues. Firstly sometimes when I first boot the PC everything is in 360p like the Nvidia drivers haven't loaded, if I wait for about 2-3 minutes they then kick in, the screen flashes off and everything is correct.
Once I'm on and using the PC sometimes (and usually only within the first hour of turning it on, but not always) I get the screen flicking off for a few seconds then flicking back on. Before this happens if I'm watching a video I'll lose audio and the video starts playing in slow motion. And today for the first time I had the screen flick off 5 or 6 times every other minute and then it came up no signal detected on my monitor. Nothing I could do would get the picture back so I hard restarted the PC, it came back on and everything is working fine again.
I'm really confused as to what could be causing this. I don't think its the monitor as the PC actually seems like it freezes up briefly before flickering on and off. I should state as well, when I put in the new components I didn't do a fresh install of Windows, I merely moved the SSDs into the new system. Could it be a driver conflict and I need to reinstall Windows?
Any help is appreciated, I'm feeling defeated atm. Thanks.
