    Screen flickers black every few seconds when in fullscreen mode games


    Hi all,


    I recently upgraded my laptop to the Lenovo Legion Y520 with an i7-7700hq, a 1050 ti, intel hd 630, 256 gig ssd, and 2 Terabyte hard drive

    I usually use an external monitor next to my laptop

    I noticed that when in games, if i set it to Fullscreen the screen flickers black every few seconds

    This is an extreme disadvantage to me as windowed borderless makes games less smooth and more clunky and drops frames


    What I've tried:

    Updating graphics drivers


    Thanks,

    Sean

    :)

    Screen flickering in Windows 10 safe mode

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

    Games in Fullscreen don't work on main Monitor

    Hey, I have this problem where i cant play my favorite games like CS:GO on my main monitor in FULLSCREEN without the game flickering on launch of just having a black screen. However if i make my second monitor the main display the game works perfectly.
    **** is going on

    The monitor im having problems with is the BenQ XL2411Z

    The second monitor is LG 29UM65

    I find this really important because i run CrossFire and i dont get the benefit of extra fps if im not running the game in FULLSCREEN

    (ps: the game runs fine in windowed mode but thats not what i want!)

    Black screen when in fullscreen, in every game

    When I run any game in fullscreen the screen turns black after a few seconds at most. If I tab out of the game and back in, it works again for a few seconds before it turns black again.

    System:

    Windows 10 64 bit (no creator's update yet, version 1607)

    i5 2500k

    Nvidia GTX 1070

    I already tried reinstalling drivers completely. It doesn't happen in Windows safe mode. Games work fine in windowed or windowed borderless mode.

    Any idea how I can maybe get a better idea what is and isn't causing this? I tried different resolutions and refresh rates (my monitor's refresh rate is 60, I tried lowering it to 59), but it's the same.
