I put a Zotac 1080 Founders Edition into my predator g6 710 and it installed Zotac Firestorm, which I hadn't used before. I was trying to increase the fan speed but accidentally set something else on the GPU—probably mhz at around 25%. The computer froze and went black, so I panicked and turned it off. After shutting it down, everything worked again except every few seconds the screen would flash black for a second or more, then return to normal after about ten seconds. I removed Firestorm and the Nvidia drivers, along with everything related to them, and the issue stopped. When I reinstalled and updated the drivers later, the flashing began again. I don’t know what to do... Just bought the card and built the rig four months ago...

When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's standard to list all system details, including the operating system. Have you confirmed using DDU to remove your GPU drivers?
