Windows 10: Red flickering dots when watching a video

Hello, I encountered the problem of red dots appearing in videos on a dark background or bright text. If you watch the video in full screen, the dots appear less often. This problem occurs both in Google and Edge browsers, and in standard Windows players, as well as in the Clipchamp application. As for games or programs not related to video, I did not observe this problem there. At the moment, I have done everything I could: changed the video card from 1660ti to 4060, replaced the monitor and reinstalled Windows. None of this gave a result.

Screen flickers black, on and off only while watching a video

Usually, flickering screen is caused by a software conflict or a corrupted display driver. Based on what you’ve mentioned, it happens while watching a video. Just to confirm, are you
playing the video online or is it a saved video on your computer? To troubleshoot this concern, I’d suggest that you follow the steps provided on this

Screen flickering while watching videos full screen

It just started recently that everytime I watch any video in full screen, that screen it is on flickers. I have seen, that it happens if any other program causes any popup (like Origins "a friend started playing X game"), but it is not limited to this.

My PC itself is working fine, meaning that powersupply and driver etc. are all okay. I reinstalled windows 2-3 months back (the flickering might have started after this but not sure).

What could be a cause for this flickering and how can I fix it?

Note: The flickering is a blackscreen of about 5-10 frames I'd guess and it happens about 3-5 times within like 2 seconds and can occur everywhere in the video. I have the feeling, that the less active I am on the second screen, the less flickering I have. Also if I rewind the video after a flickering, the flickering does most of the time not occur again.

Specs:

• Asus GTX 1070 TI
  
• Asus ROG STRIX Z270F
  
• Intel I7-7700K
  
• 2x Acer Predator XB241H
  
• 650W power supply
