Screen flickering while gaming

Hi Lane,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



What is the make and model of the computer?

Is this issue specific to a particular game?

When was the last time your computer worked without this issue?



The problem could be caused by the GPU or cables.



I suggest you to try with the steps mentioned in the article below.

Troubleshoot screen flickering in Windows 10.



If the above steps do not help, try with decreasing the monitor refresh rate.

Go to Settings->System->Display->Advanced display settings->Display adaptor properties for Display 1->Monitor->Screen refresh rate.

Click on Apply and then Ok.



Hope it helps.
