Monitor flickering when connected to HDMI

I have the Gaming Laptop Acer predator 15, here are the specs:





My issue is that when ever i connect my laptop to a monitor the screen flickers every few seconds or more often when I start a video, for example if I open a new video on YouTube, as soon as the video has loaded the screen flickerers
2 to 3 times before the video starts. The cable and the monitor I use work fine if I use them with other pc.

I did try some suggestions like:

1. Check if your video card driver is updated as well as Windows update.
2. Run Hardware troubleshooter by going to Control Panel
   > search Troubleshooting > click
   View All > Hardware and
   Devices.
3. Use other HDMI cable if possible

but nothing work. I still have the same problem and I did try other monitor and other cable but nothing work.

Any suggestions i should try?

Thanks in advance

 

Monitor flickering when connected to HDMI

I have the Gaming Laptop Acer predator 15, here are the specs:

Laptop - (Acer Predator 15)

i7-6700HQ Quad Core Processor 2.6GHz with Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.5GHz

15.6" Full HD (1920 x 1080)

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB of dedicated GDDR5 VRAM

Monitor - (HP Monitor 22es)

1920 x 1080 - 21.5" IPS Display with max 60Hz refresh rate

HDMI and VGA Port

My issue is that when ever i connect my laptop to a monitor i bought recently the screen flickers every few seconds or more often when i start a video, for example if i open a new video on YouTube, as soon as the video
has loaded the screen 2 to 3 times before the video starts. The HDMI Cable i use is the one that was included with the monitor, i am running everything at it's native resolution and refresh rate. I have tried using a HDMI to VGA port, to connect via VGA and
the flickering is taken away but the quality is also reduced, i am a content creator so quality for me is important.

Any suggestions i should try?
