Hi all.
In April I built a new PC (5900x, 3080, x570, 32 gb ddr4). The system ran fine for months, and still runs fine. However, in July, I started getting an issue where the screen would occasionally (maybe once a day) flash white and windows night light would restart. This entire process happens in less than a second. The issue is exactly what happens when windows explorer.exe crashes and restarts (you can force this to happen in the task manager), and I also know this because the screen flash/explorer restart causes the Nvidia Control Panel icon to disappear from the system tray, which also only happens when Windows Explorer.exe crashes and restarts. Interestingly, no event viewer entry is generating noting that explorer crashed.
I was able to solve the issue for about 1.5 months by updating my bios, reinstalling windows, graphics driver, etc. However, even on the new bios, the issue is now back. My screen flashed again this morning. This is quite annoying so I am trying to solve the issue. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
