Windows 10: Can't launch any game and screen flickering

Hi,I've recently upgraded my mobo and cpu to a gigabyte b550 gaming X V2 and r5 5600x. Since the upgrade my screen is sometimes flickering most of the time when I launch an app, I can't launch any game as it would instantly crash or cause the pc to restart by himself. Bios version is the latest F15. I did not overclock or tweak anything from the bios or elsewhere, everything is running stock.Specs : Ryzen 5 5600xGigabyte b550 gaming X V2Corsair vengeance RGB RS 2x16 3200mhz xmp enabledGTX 1660 Super latest driversCooler Master k550 PSU 550W120go SATA SSD windows500go Nvme SSD2 HDD'

Screen starts to flicker after logging in for a while

Hello

This is an entirely new issue. My screen starts to flicker after logging in/turning on computer for a while, and/or if I launch an app that uses my Nvidia card (my laptop has Optimus), I'm not exactly sure which of these two causes it. For the first while after a restart, the screen appears fine. The flickering appears on desktop background + internet browser as well, so I'm pretty sure it's not a program compatibility issue. The flickering is not severe (the type that looks like horizontal bars sliding up) but it's an annoyance.

Tried:

• Disabling Windows error reporting + problem reporting service in msconfig
• Restart computer
• Resetting Nvidia global settings to default in Nvidia control panel
• Checking for display drive updates in device manager (all up to date)
• Checking monitor refresh rate (60Hz, can't be changed)

Laptop I'm using:

• i7-4700MQ 2.4GHz
• 1900x1080
• Intel HD 4600 + Nvidia GT750M

Thanks for suggestions.
