Windows 10: Flickering problem on startup

5 days ago, I suddenly had a problem when starting up my laptop. The screen keeps flickering purple right from startup up to 2-3 minutes after the desktop has fully loaded. Then the screen normalizes. Right now, I only ever get this flickering at the start and doesn't come back for the whole duration of my laptop use. I've kept my drivers up to date and even tried rolling back to a previous version where I didn't experience this problem but so far, none of this has worked. I would very much appreciate any information as to why this is happening and advice on how to fix this.

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

 

Screen Flickering

Return that card for something else. I've heard of many issues with Asus Direct Cu 7970's. You could try finding a different monitor to see if your monitor is the problem, but I doubt it.

**I though you tried differnet cables. Buy a new cable and try it. Get a Dual Link DVI cable.

Here's a list.

1. Uninstall and reinstall video drivers.

2. Replace cable

3. Try different monitor

4. Try different video card

5. Replace video card.

If you can do any of the steps above, just skip to step #5.

I haven't made any changes on my device. This screen flickering is only happening in Safe Mode.
