had this problem for a while, getting sick of dealing with it.

it seems after a minute the screen will flicker and close system windows while leaving others open just fine. its closed games on me as well.

i do have a killer e2200 netrwork card.

i also downloaded and installed Gurus DDU and fresh installed my gtx 970 drivers without all that other stuff it asked to install.

whenever it flashes it deselects everything. even in the middle of typing this, it flashes and id have to use the mouse to reselect the text box.

ive noticed when it does flash with the task manager open on the performance tab, the CPU and the Ethernet spike. memory and all my disks dont move.

i did see a guide to revert the killer network card to a generic network driver, but i didnt see any drivers for win10. is there a guide im missing? or can i use those old drivers for win10?

ive also gone and deleted most things, like games and their respective launchers.
 
taken everything out of usbs but mouse and keyboard. still flashing.

not really sure how to test it without i/o devices though...

i even tried using USB slots i havent used.
