Display flickering on your screen? Possible GPU problems.
Display flickering on your screen? Possible GPU problems.
Hello! You're experiencing some strange occurrences while gaming. A random single-frame flash appears occasionally, especially in-game. It's difficult to capture on video, but it seems to happen only during gameplay. Your build details are noted: Windows 11 Home 25H2, version 26200.7623, running at 4K with low-demand titles like Runescape and FFXIV. G-Sync is enabled, and your GPU is using the Game Ready Driver 591.74. I'm concerned about potential GPU issues. UPDATE: After posting, flashes now sometimes trigger a brief black screen for about a second. I've tried resetting the GPU settings to defaults, updating firmware via the Nvidia app, and performing a clean install. A video below will display two flashes—a lower-screen flash and a full-screen flash. The lower-screen flash is quite subtle.
Hello. A video card malfunctioning seems unusual, yet hardware issues are definitely a possibility. It might stem from a faulty cable or connection along the path, a driver problem, or even monitor-related faults. You could attempt to revert to an older driver version, going back further than you've experienced this before. Inspect the cable connecting your monitor, and test with alternative cables, monitors, or cards if feasible—borrowing might help. Simply reinserting the card into its PCIe slot can also resolve the issue.
