    Windows flickering screen


    I've just noticed screen flickering yesterday. It happens every 3-4 minutes and I dont think its a monitor issue since I can see that its not going dark.

    When it flickers, I can briefly see the underlying windows so it seems like the flicker affects whatever window/game I am viewing at the moment.


    Anyone experience something like this or know how to fix?

    I've switched from display port to hdmi, different browsers, windows apps (task manager) and the flicker occurs the same.
    I have updated the drivers for my nvidia card and did not affect anything.

    :)
