Hi all. Youtube clip of fault:

This refers to an MSI B75MA-E33 motherboard PC with an i5 CPU. I had it running for the past year with a GTX 750Ti graphics card in it, and had started to get some screen flickering which had become progressively worse. The PC was still completely usable, but the flickering was getting more and more annoying.
I had suspected the graphics card, which never had a successful HDMI output (I had to use DVI) so when I transferred all of the PC's components in to a much smarter case recently, I thought I'd try and tackle the flickering issue too, starting by leaving the GPU out and using the HDMI socket on the MOBO - expecting it to be fine. Blimey, the flickering was MUCH worse - truly awful as you can see.
I suspect now that the 750Ti is/was actually fine, but that it was receiving the flickering signal from somewhere else.
As well as the flickering image, the audio playback - via the HDMI to my TV - is also very intermittent, with only the odd stuttering sound coming through every 10 seconds or so. I have updated the Intel HD graphics and audio drivers. (I don't know if the audio output via the 750Ti's HDMI was working before since the HDMI-video signal never did so I used DVI instead!)
The PC is otherwise working, seemingly perfectly fine.
Can anyone suggest what could be causing this, or how to approach tracing the cause?
Many thanks.
