Hey guys, I'll start by giving the specs to my PC that I put together,
CPU: Core i5-3470
GPU: Radeon RX560 , 4GB
Storage: 128GB SSD + 500GB HDD
RAM: 8GB (8x1)
PSU: 350 Watt
OS: Windows 10 1903 running with the latest drivers from AMD for the GPU

I've been facing screen flickering while I am on windows and chrome etc, if I let the computer stay idle for longer than 5-10 mins it freezes and goes to a black screen until it is restarted which restores functionality, when I play a video in the background or let a video play on the screen, then there is no flicker at all. Same goes for when I play games, there are no stutters or fps drops, everything runs perfect until I am back on windows and it happens again.

Things I have tried:
  • Was using a Display Port for output, switched cables and even tried using a DVI cable
  • Monitored temps inside games which are all normal


Couldn't figure what the issue is because I can play games for as long as I want without any issues but I can't have files copying for longer durations because of the issue, your insights would be greatly appreciated!
 
make and model of the psu? might want to replace that
here's the tag from the PSU
