Hey all,
I hope you are well.
Recently, I have built my first gaming PC. Everything seemed good, but it seems my PC has like an intermittent screen flickering issue.
The first thing I did after building this PC and getting windows installed was downloading the most up to date Nvidia drivers for my GPU and any available drivers for my MOBO. I have also did re-install the Nvidia drivers but it changed nothing.
I have the PC hooked up (via display port) to two 27” LG UltraGear 1440p 165hz QWHD monitors; I have my main monitor directly in-front of me and the other monitor vertically to the left. It seems that it is only doing this intermittent flickering on the left monitor. It was doing it on the right (main) monitor first but one night when I powered off the PC I turned the PSU off and the next day it made me boot into bios and it seemed to change the flickering to the left screen (maybe it happened before this or after, but from what I recollect this aligns to when it changed). I have also made sure in settings the refresh rate is running at the current hertz.
I am highly sure it is not an issue with the monitors as before this in my old build I never had this issue on my 3060ti with these monitors and they are fairly new (bought in end of December). I also have my PS5 and switch hooked up to them and never have had any issues before.
I do want to add that it seems like it does this when opening an application that has been minimized or minimizing an application (or just kind of when the computer has to think if that makes sense. It has done it when the PC is basically idling but very rarely) - I do also notice it does it in games, but once again it’s intermittent. One day it might only do it once and another it may do it twenty times.
Here are my PC specs:
i7 13700k
RTX 4090 (MSI x Gaming Trio)
Asus ROG Strix 790-E Gaming
Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000MHz
Corsair RM1000X PSU
Noctua NH-D15s
2tb Western Digital NVME m.2
2tb Samsung m.2 ssd
Any ideas are greatly appreciated! I’m considering replacing the GPU for a new one but I’m not sure if it might be something else or just user error?
