Hi!
Whenever I increase my graphics card overclock in AMD Overdrive, the screen flickers a lot—not just in games but on the desktop as well. It’s quite intense; even moving the mouse causes half the screen to flash. This happens whether I overclock by 5 MHz on the core or memory, suggesting it might be a software issue rather than a hardware problem. I have two 24-inch monitors at 60 Hz and one at 144 Hz. Should I try overclocking in BIOS? If yes, could someone help me? I use an ASUS motherboard.

Test with afterburner. If it functions, that indicates a software issue.

Tested afterburner. If it helped, that was a software issue.
I tried and it was the same problem again.
