So I have just built my new pc and have set up everything properly but there is only 1 problem. There is a flicker/blink every now and then on my screen only when I'm gaming. (Twice a minute, more on some games) I've done a clean install of windows, I've tried 2 different monitors, 2 different cables, and sweeping the drivers and reinstalling them. I have tried almost every possible setting in CCC and system display setting with no avail, (vsync, refresh rates etc.) So I think the only possible culprits would be the PSU, Mobo, or my APU. Please help. Specs below.
1.AMD A8-6600k APU with AMD Radeon HD 8570D onboard graphics
2. Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-HD3 rev 3.0 FM2+
3. Gskill RipjawsX 8Gb 1866 Dual-Channel
4. Hec Cougar 450w 80% Efficiency
5. Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
I have 1 day left to return whatever defective components. Yes, I dont have a dedicated GPU, but an APU should not have this kind of problem right? I think I should RMA my APU. Or could it be a motherboard or PSU problem? This is my first post here cause I cant seem to find a solution. I've searched everywhere. I haven't overclocked anything and I am using VGA cables.
