Hi,

I am experiencing intermittent screen flickering.

Sometimes hours go by and its absolutely fine. Then it starts and it just seems to escalate to a point where the screen is going black for a second or two, like its switching to a new source or something. Then it will seem to calm down for no apparant reason.

I have tried replacing the graphics card, the tv and the hdmi cable. I still get the flickering. I have updated my MB bios, my cpu and GPU drivers. Ive tried a fresh install of windows.

The tv displays in a 120 hz refresh rate. Ive matched my pc settings to this in windows. The TV also has a 'game mode' not entirely sure what this does, but it flickers both when its on and when its off. Sometimes switching this seems to have an effect on the flickering sometimes it has no effect at all.

I might be wrong about this, but it seems worse when the system is first on, like it needs to warm up. It flickers randomly no matter what I am doing. it can be a game or an app or even just on desktop.

I have a video showing it really going to town with the screen going black a few times inbetween the flickering but I dont seem able to upload it here.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks

You said you replaced the hdmi cord. Have you tried connecting to the other hdmi ports on the tv? What tv model is it? Have you tried different refresh rates, or a custom one using Nvidia control panel?
