Hello,
my screen has been flickering.
I built a pc Asrock B450 Pro 4 larger profile Mobo, DDR4 8x2 Viper Ram, and Ryzen 5 2600x CV650W 80 plus Corsair psu with a 3060 ventus x2 GPU
The monitor is a 4k Sharp Roku tv.
I built it on the 26th and it worked fine for the day / night. Shut it down.
The next day it was used during the day and was shut down while I went to a friends birthday celebration.
When I returned, I started to notice some flickering, mainly with netflix and youtube (it was flickering a lot).
I tried to swap HDMI Cables but that wasn't working so I just reformated my whole HHD and reinstalled everything. The flickering persists but is very rare now and seems to only happen with chrome.
I have another almost similar build (Ryzen 5 2600, Corsair 8x2 DDR4 Ram, and Asrock B450 Pro4 and another 3060) which I put the 3060 into and it has since been working fine with no flickering, So I dont think its the GPU.
Could it just be the PSU?
I want to note that some components (mobo, ram and cpu) from flickering build came from facebook marketplace, I know I took a bit of a risk but the guy seemed straight up and swears he didn't have any problems beforehand. I have an older GPU that I could put into the build and see if it does it still or is that a waste of time? Should I just consider a new PSU?
Thank you for your time.
Edit: The psu was purchased August 2021 and worked fine in my old build (I brought it over from my old build to complete this one)
Edit2: All research was pointing towards Driver related issues, but the GPU is in another pc running same drivers and is fine.. this is why I suspect the psu.
Edit3: the hdmi cables are not top of the line, could that be effecting it?
