Ensure the card is firmly seated in its PCI-E x16 slot and that the PSU power connectors are firmly attached.

Also ensure your monitor cable is securely attached and that there is no dust or debris on any of the connections.

Download GPU-Z and monitor your GPU temperature. It shouldn't be above 40°c when idle at the desktop. If it's very high (over 75°c) at the desktop then your GPU is suffering cooling issues. Are the fans spinning? Are any cables/debris obstructing them?

Try setting your monitor to various different refresh rates by going to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalisation > Adjust Screen Resolution > Advanced Settings > Monitor Tab > Screen Refresh Rate. See if any of those produce improved results.
