As the title says, I have 2 monitors and one of them does a light flashing whenever I play a game on the other. Could it be that my GPU isn't capable enough of handling 2 monitors at the same time?

GPU: GTX 960
CPU: i5 2400
RAM: 8 GB (4x2GB)
Motherboard: MSI H67MA-E45

I have only really noticed this happening in Cities: Skylines and Elite Dangerous, but I haven't really checked in other games.

This is a refurbished monitor, but it is guaranteed to work perfectly. I got it yesterday so I still have warranty.
 
Solution
That can happen during gaming, try using a different connection type, make sure the video card drivers are updated. See if swapping monitor positions helps (swap their connection to the video card).
