Question Image flickering/signal lost in fullscreen mode ?

[mkfy]

I'm experiencing an issue with most of videogames, specially when playing fullscreen (does not tend to happen when playing borderless window). I'm running a dual monitor setup, and both of them will start to flicker into black, and back into the game, as if they were losing signal. Sometimes they remain off until I ALT+TAB to Opera, Steam or any program. Thought my 1050ti was at the end of its line, but just realized that screen flickering fixes when recording (ALT+F9, Nvidia Shadowplay) instead of ALT+TABing.
Seemed as a driver issue to me, so uninstalled display drivers with Driver Uninstaller, rebooted to safemode and installed older versions, but can't fix it.
GPU is a Gigabyte 1050ti LP.

Hi there, please kindly provide full PC specs, and more details about your system and the issues which you have been encountering. What PSU model are you using ? Does the flickering issue also occur in a SINGLE monitor setup as well ?

"Complete" system specs should ALWAYS be accompanied with any driver, hardware, or performance question. Do not post DXDiag reports as they contain a TON of useless information. Posting a DxDiag in place of a System Spec List tends to ward off potential members from helping you.

Please supply the following system details/information, as much as possible:

(Complete System Specs)
-CPU make and model# (clock speed/voltage, type of cooler, and "Core" temperature @ idle and load)
-Motherboard make & model# (include Bios version if graphics card is not recognized or you are having stability issues)
-RAM (amount, clock speed, model#/link of kit, configuration)
-Graphics card(s) make and model# (clock speed, voltage if modified, Driver version and GPU temp both @ idle and load)
-Power supply make,model#, "AND" age (note if using 110V or 220V A/C input)
-HDD/SSD configuration (ie: Raid setup/ back up/ OS drive/etc..)
-Case/Chasis make,model# (fan make, model#, and configuration if having thermal issues)
-Operating System (If using Windows note Framework and service pack version)
-Monitor make, model#, and resolution (If model# is unknown list resolution and refresh rate)

*If the unit is a "laptop" or "All-in-one" system you must note the make and model# of the unit. Be sure you are ALWAYS using the OEM/manufacturer's Driver updates for the unit.

*If "Crashing":
-Note the nature of the "crash" in detail, as there are several definitions for the word "crash".

*If "performance" related issue:
-Note the "exact" point in which the performance reduction occurred (ie: After Windows update, After Bios update, After Driver update, After thermal system shutdown, After Hardware change/upgrade etc...)

*For diagnostic purposes please disable the following:
-Any/all Antivirus/ Anti-malware software
-Any/all OSD monitoring software
-ALL overclocks outside of factory spec .

Hi, if I'm not mistaken, your current PSU Model from Thermaltake is of very low quality, especially this White Model. Is it the TR2 branded PSU from Thermaltake, or SMART ? If yes, then this is a horrible unit, and I wouldn't advise using this on any gaming PC.

But since I'm not sure whether PSU is indeed the culprit here, can you check the GPU on some other system ? Or maybe using some other power supply unit if possible ? But since you are using a low-profile GTX 1050 Ti GPU, the PSU should not pose THAT much of a threat though, imo.

It is not the TR2S series, it is the SMART Series one. Anyway, i'll try to test the GPU on the system i'm receiving next week (R5 5600x). The whole system is two and a half years old.
