Hello! After many years of laptop gaming, I decided to gift myself a second-hand PC. Work applications are fine. However, what happens in basically all games is some flickering, that can go from annoying but not unbearable with older games (e.g. Rising Storm 2) to severe with relatively newer games. In many cases, besides texture flickering, after a few minutes I start getting strobe-like coloured flickering. See screenshot for reference

, it's hard to catch them in the act but the spots can get quite intense. From time to time, the screen goes completely black and I need to shut the game off. In a way it's similar to this user's problem View: https://imgur.com/6yIrDo8
.
FPS are around 40-70 and the temperature doesn't climb above 80 °C.
Troubleshooting: I tried to do a clean install of the GPU drivers, both the most recent and older ones. Also applied the NVIDIA colour settings.
Thanks in advance!
