    Hi!
    I just built a new computer. After installing the gpu-drivers the problems started.
    Strange flickering on the top of the screen. Its not consistent, but happends occasionally when i do something like switch a tab in the browser or open a new window.
    Strange thing is that it never occur in fullscreen programs (games).
    But after a brief session of viewing a film or playing a game the issue tend to occur more ofen.

    My thought was that it might be something wrong with the GPU. But since ive not had any luck getting past bios (into windows) with the MOBO's integrated gpu, and the issues did NOT happend while gaming it might rather be a problem with the mobo?

    Sorry if its messy..

    Thanks!

    Hello and Welcome to PCHF, Sonny

    Does this also happen in Safe mode?
