So I've had my system for a few years now, built it almost 3 years ago and its been working fine. Recently(the past few weeks) whenever I play a game, the screen frequently flickers and then goes black for a few seconds before returning. I can still hear the audio and inputs still work just fine, but I can't see anything.
I play Dota 2, so it's not a very demanding game. It seems to happen less when I reduce the refresh rate to 60 Hz, but it still does happen occasionally. Here are my specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 8600k
Motherboard: ASRock B360 Pro
RAM: 8 GB Patriot Signature DDR4 + 8 GB Patriot Viper DDR4 (I know not the best idea to mix ram but I needed more)
PSU: Corsair 550W
GPU: XFX XXX RX 580 8 GB
Monitor: Acer XFA240 - 24 in 144 Hz 1080p TN panel
That should cover all the major/relevant components.
Any help is much appreciated.
