Hi all

I am having an issue with the screen 'glitching' or momentarily going black, in windows 10.

The glitch is like a flicker of distortion across the screen. It is less than a second.

The screen going black is different. It is as if the display output momentarily switches off, the screen goes entirely black for a second, then comes back on.

I have noticed this occuring significantly last night when i was writing a document in libreoffice and using the edge browser to view pdf's at the same time. I think the issue could be linked to edge, since it would occur more frequently when i was scrolling the pdf.

It doesnt happen when im bowsing the net in firefox, nor when running the asus realbench multimedia benchmark.
 
Its a brand new i5 desktop i built myself. The problem is sporadic, not related to the time the pc has been on i dont think. Ive checked temperatures and no apparant issues.
 
Nope. The problem doesnt happen all the time. I can be browsing for hours and no issue, but last night using libreoffice and edge, big problems.
 
I am using integrated graphics at the moment as haven't bought a dedicated GPU yet (I plan to).

Monitor is set to 60 Hz, and is a freesync monitor but not being driven by an AMD card at present.
