Screen flickering and flashing on and off.

I have dual monitors and both are displaying the exact same behavior. So I doubt it's a problem with the monitors themselves. They keep flashing on and off, usually staying off for about a second before coming back on. They'll also occasionally flash those kinda interference lines you'd get on old TVs across the screen for some reason.

Also, I've been getting some microstutter and freezing as well as low framerate in some games too, that started around the same time as this did. Dunno if it's related or not.

Could be a power supply issue maybe? Or something up with my GPU and it can't deliver the data correctly? Idk. Any help would be great, I can't play games at all like this.

Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 6500 3.2Ghz Quad-Core
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 Xtreme Gaming (OC Mode)
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2133Mhz (2x4gb)
Storage: WD Blue 1tb and Samsung 850 Evo 250gb
PSU: Aerocool Intergrator 700W Bronze
Mobo: MSI Gaming M3 H170

Tried i with just my main monitor. It seems ok for now. But not sure if that will last or not. It's pretty intermittent on when it happens. Sometimes it won't happen for a few hours, sometimes it'll be constant.

Apologies for the late reply. It's not helped using only 1. Still happens. But doesn't seem as often.
