Hello,

Thank you for posting your question on our forum.

Monitor flickering is usually caused by a loose or faulty cable, incorrect refresh rate settings, outdated or buggy graphics drivers, GPU overheating, or a failing monitor panel.

Start by checking and firmly reconnecting your HDMI or DisplayPort cable, and try a different one if possible.

Next, make sure your refresh rate in Windows matches your monitor’s native setting (like 60Hz or 144Hz), as mismatches often cause flicker.

Updating or reinstalling drivers using tools like NVIDIA GeForce Experience, AMD Radeon Software, or Intel Graphics Command Center can fix software-related issues, while rolling back may help if the problem started after an update.

If flickering occurs during heavy use, check for overheating and clean dust from your PC.

Finally, test the monitor with another device. If it still flickers, the display hardware itself may be failing and might need repair or replacement.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us!
