A couple of days ago I had installed an update for Windows 10(KB4041994) Which went fine and all but when I had booted up my PC I noticed I had some green lines appearing on my screen.
The games can play ok with some flickering occasionally(Display disconnects/reconnects). The GPU had seemed to work perfectly before this update with no issues at all.
It seems that the problem differs between different games, League of Legends works perfectly, Civ 5 works fine but with occasional disconnect/reconnects. Rising Storm 2 seems to have it the worst, Display disconnects/reconnects every few seconds and horizontal green lines appear in the bottom half and top half of the screen. Changing settings in game only seems to make it worse and the display disconnects/reconnects even frequently.
I'm not 100% sure if this is a result of the update or maybe a faulty GPU. I've tried reinstalling drivers and installing latest drivers but to no avail. This is quite the frustrating issue and any help would be great!
Thank you.
EDIT: It's been nearly a week since the problems first appeared, I have high FPS on games still but now I get FPS stutters to the point its unplayable. Black screen flickering only happens on graphic intensive games. These FPS stutters happen on any program that use the GPU.
I've tried lowering the refresh rate from 60hz to 59hz and apparently this made it worse and flickering happens every few seconds(Firefox seemed to make it flicker a lot).
Is this a faulty GPU or just a dying PC? I tried testing the GPU for any failures but it seemed to be OK. Could this be related to the motherboard or maybe something else? I don't have a lot of gaming PC knowledge so any help would be appreciated.
