Windows 10: Monitor Flickering Issues

Scoured the internet and could not find a solution and I am at the final straw.
Every time I play something full screen like a Youtube video, a game like Minecraft, or some random Steam game, or anything that goes full screen, my monitor flickers black. It usually happens when a quick motion happens on the screen; never when it's still. I highly doubt it's a internal problem in my monitor because when I had Linux this issue never occurred. Sometimes it just straight-up stays black until I exit out whatever I'm in I've had to Alt+F4 a lot of things. It happens every other day as well, like say today it was working normal, tomorrow it wouldn't be working, but then the next day after that it would, and then repeat. And yes, I've checked 6 times at this point that yes, my graphic drivers are in fact updated. My friend who built my computer in the first place doesn't know what's happening or he does, but he's just too lazy to fix it and tells me to just not use full screen which ticks me off.

If any of this information helps, here it is:
GPU: Radeon RX 580
Monitor: Acer SB220Q
Monitor originally came with a VGA cable to plug in, so I had to get an HDMI cable for it.
Yes, I've checked connection with the cable
Yes, I've checked for driver updates

Yes, I've tried clean booting

Drivers are from manufacturers website


UPDATE: I've figured out that it occurs after I've left my PC off for a long amount of time like when I go to sleep. Also, it fixes it everytime I restart my PC. There are some games that work, and some that don't. Every fullscreen game flickers. The only exceptions is if it helps you to know the titles Geometry Dash, which never works right yes, I've reinstalled it multiple times it flickers whether or not I've restarted. Even after the clean boot it only worked for a little longer than usual before it went back to flickering, and then there's The Joy of Creation: Story Mode horror game FYI. The Joy of Creation has always worked, and has never flickers ONCE no matter what I've messed with its settings, it has always worked perfectly fine. The only difference with this one is I downloaded it after I activated Windows 10. Oh, and Geometry Dash was the first game I ever got If you don't count Steam as a game.

Monitor Dim and Flickers

I have a new Dell Inspiron 3668 cpu and running it with my old Dell ST2010 I have run the windows "troubleshoot screen flickering in Windows 10" from Windows help. When I go to task Mngr. it still flickers. So, I uninstalled the display driver as suggested
and then ran the "Check for updates". The problem still remains. Any further suggestions?? My next step is to just replace the monitor and assume Windows 10 will not run it!

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.
