My monitor was acting weird

So I have a monitor that used to be plugged into a power strip (it was the only thing plugged into the power strip). And then I have another power strip (this one has a couple of circuit breakers in it) which has my PC, speakers, sometimes a phone charger and a lamp plugged into it. So I decided to plug my monitor to the power strip with a couple of circuit breakers too. And I noticed flickering on the monitor just when I plugged it in, I also waited some time, thinking the flickering might stop, but it didin't. And I also noticed that the flickering would increase if I give more load to my computer(for example: playing a game).So after a couple of days of testing different outlets on the wall, different outlets on the power strip, different power strips and even changing the cable of the monitor(the one which provides it with electricity), I came to a conclusion: my monitor only flickers when it's plugged in a power strip that would have my PC and speakers plugged in. When I plug it into a seperated outlet or a seperated power strip it doesn't flicker. Currently I have plugged it into a seperated outlet and it's all OK.

I just wonder if anyone knows what could be the cause?

I said that I tested out different outlets and power strips and outlets on the power strip it's self but the same thing happend. It's the monitor. I don't know why but the monitor works fine when its just alone in the power strip or just plugged right into the outlet
