I have a GTX 1070 card driving two monitors. It has been working great for a long time. A few days ago I try to watch something on netflix and all of a sudden one of the monitor screens starts flashing from what should be there to snow. Back and forth.

I tried updating the card drivers but that didn't help. Also noticed it does it when I try to launch Doom. One monitor starts flashing snow but the other will play the game.

Any suggestions? Not sure if windows 10 pushed out and update that broke something or what.

Thanks,
Rut
 
Solution
Sounds like one monitor may be failing.
Try swapping monitors and see if the problem follows the monitor.
Another possibility is a bad monitor connection cable.
Swap them around to see if the problem swallows.
