Whenever I am playing a game and I left click, the game registers my click but the screen flashes completely black for a split second. When I turned a couple of my games to windowed from full screen to see if that fixed it, I noticed that for the split second the game was black it flashed not responding in the title bar. The problem does not occur when I am on an web browser, the desktop, or have programs like word open; only games, both steam and non steam. It is also not a problem when I right click or use my keyboard. I have dual monitors and have tried playing on both, and the problem still persists. I have changed the resolution as well as refresh rate and neither worked, I also made sure the video cables were in properly and tried new ones. Spent hours looking for solutions online but have found non that worked. I am running windows 7 64 bit, Intel i7 860, and an ASUS HD7970. This problem started occuring a couple days ago out of the blue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
