    PC flickers after updating


    My PC deleted all the application setup, then I installed Windows 10 Pro which caused it to fail to restart. Then I installed Windows 10 32 bit by mistake, which I downloaded from Microsoft website. Upon installing, the PC flickered upon startup. I then installed Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit, but still it was flickering when starting.


    Then I downloaded another Windows 10 64 bit, but still it's flickering when starting.

    The Windows 10 Pro also caused the problem with the pointer... it disappeared, then I fixed the problem. Now the flickering problem is still there. What might be the problem? Please help.


    Thanks.

    :)
