Hello Everyone,
I have been facing this random screen flickering at any point of time after starting my pc, it happened even when pc is on idle. It flickers with random colors like shown in photo and pc restarts automatically sometimes and sometimes it doesnt restart but normal screen comes back after a blackout and issue continues again randomly later. I was on latest GPU drivers when this first happened and i went back to 537. 58 too see if its a driver issue but its still happening with old drivers as well. Now this happens heavily right after I launch PUBG from steam, other games seems to be working fine but still happens after playing like 15mins or so.
I suspect my GPU is dying and its a hardware issue. I was wondering to reinstall the OS but i thought it cant be an OS issue so I am posting here to seek answers. My build is as below,
