I am guessing that this issue is down to my monitors or a bad HDMI cable, but I am just praying that it has nothing to do with my graphics card.
About six months ago I got myself a new graphics card and a new power supply, this is on my first gaming rig that I bought brand new. I felt like I needed to upgrade the graphics card in my computer as I was only using an AMD Radeon 1GB 6450 (so not the best). But I only had a 480W PSU, so I also upgraded my power supply. Afraid that I would do something wrong I paid for these to be installed. (Mainly so if anything goes wrong you get a twelve month free warranty so I can blame them). But about a month or so after installing the new graphics car and new power supply, I started noticing these flicking pixels on my screen. At first I thought it may have been my monitors so I have tried different refresh rates and different resolutions, but nothing. It still occurred. I didn't think It could be down to the cable connecting my monitors as it happens on both monitors (one running through HDMI as it's a TV and the other running through VGA with a DVI adapter so it can connect to the graphics card. As I have said before I hope this isn't a hardware issue.
I NEED TO STATE THIS HAPPENS ON BOTH MONITORS AND I DIDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH MY OLD POWER SUPPLY AND GRAPHICS CARD!
Here are some links to screenshots I could get of the issue:
