Hello,
I am currently using a TV for a monitor. I want to enable XMP on my motherboard (specs listed below), but whenever I do, my screen starts to flicker as if it was turning on and off very quickly. They are uneven, lasting for seemingly random intervals. At one point, I had to restart my computer to get the screen back on. When XMP is disabled, the screen does not do these things. I don't currently have a backup monitor/TV to try a new screen. When I enable XMP, are there other settings that change which might cause this? Is this indicative of bad parts? Since I haven't bought a GPU yet and am using integrated graphics through the motherboard's HDMI, could that be affecting this somehow? Thank you for your help! My parts:
Intel Core i5 6600K
MSI Z170A Gaming M5 motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 (2x8GB)
GPU not purchased yet
EVGA P2 650w PSU
