    W10 screen flickering


    Hi,

    The screen works perfectly when used with another PC.

    What I tried :

    -reinstall display drivers

    -disabling display drivers lose my second monitor

    -changing refresh rate

    -deleting antivirus software

    -repair with windows media creation tools


    I'm very annoyed and really can't work like that. Sometimes the screen goes black for no reason. Sometimes it just clicks and it's like the image gets split in some parts.

    I tried some online screen tester and I see that the screen is perfectly fine, as I said I also tried with another PC and its working fine.

    Thanks for the help

    :)
