Following the CPU overclocking, video drivers began to flicker.
Following the CPU overclocking, video drivers began to flicker.
Hi, the issue appears intermittently, mostly after the PC powers on. In fullscreen videos and browser tabs, the screen flickers black when something is moved, such as pausing a video or adjusting headset volume. This causes brief blackouts that briefly recover. I recently reinstalled the video drivers, but it hasn’t been long enough for anything to occur. My only solution is to restart the system. The Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B doesn’t work. The problem started after I overclocked my CPU. I reset the BIOS back to defaults and didn’t have the same issue, though I only ran it briefly before returning to my overclocked setup. It might just be a coincidence. If anyone has any advice, I’d appreciate it. Thank you.
So now you claim it's working even without overclocking? Then it seems best to avoid just reinstalling and instead perform a CLEAN install like this:
It's not random. The situation is inconsistent. What is your main voltage under current conditions? Are you relying on a fixed setting or an automatic tool? What are your maximum core temperatures during full load? Which methods have you tried to stress the CPU and track core clock and temperature data?
Darkbreeze :
It's not coincidence. It's unstable. What is your core voltage at currently? Uncore voltage?
Offset and adaptive voltage settings?
Is this a manual overclock or are you using an automatic utility?
What are your full load core temps? What have you used to put the CPU at full stress and what are you using to monitor core clocks and thermal sensor readings?
Core voltage is 1.300 set to adaptive with no offset. CPU-Z voltage goes up to 1.335 which doesn't concern me.
Manual overclock to 4.5 ghz, RAM was at 3000mhz however I had stability issues earlier this year (different symptoms though) so I decided to keep it at stock 2133 with 1.350 voltage set by XMP.
Not at PC so can't tell you the values on CAS, RAS etc.
Stressed with AIDA 64 and done some other more realistic stress testing like realbench, cinebench and 3d mark Time Spy and Time Spy extreme (passed with better CPU score and overall score for all)
Temps topped out at 70C
Sorry I missed a lot of information in my original post was in a rush

Darkbreeze :
Try dropping your multi to 4.4Ghz, leaving everything else the same, and see if the problem remains.
Still doing it. Went to stock settings and it's continuing so I'm going to reinstall the Nvidia drivers. It's possibly corrupted
