I have a computer I built that will randomly flash black sometimes. This can happen multiple times within a short amount of time (Say 10 seconds). Then it will stop. Is there anything that I can do to stop it, or should I be concerned? It seems to happen mostly when moving things out of full screen (YouTube videos, video games etc.). If there are any other details that can help, I am happy to provide them. Thanks so much in advance!

Processor: AMD FX-8320E Eight Core 3.2 GHz
RAM: 16 GBS
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
255 GB SSD and 2 TB hard drive
Monitor: HP Pavilion 27XW through HDMI, Dell UltraSharp monitor through VGA

How do you do that? Un-install Nvidia's drivers?

Go to Control Panel > Uninstall a program > Scroll down until you find the Nvidia driver stuff, and just click un-install.

To re-install the drivers, go here -

Judging from your problem, it sounds like a display driver issue honestly.

Uninstall Nvidia's drivers, then re-install them afterwards (latest version off of Nvidia's website)
It should work fine then, but if the problem continues to happen even after you do this then honestly I'm not sure what the problem is . It could be a monitor/screen problem (but that is extremely unlikely)
