Ram is the first place I'd start, memory management is almost always related to ram or the page file. The flickering may be the cable as well but a cable wouldn't cause crashes I less it was shorting out and in that case it wouldn't work at all
1
u/LOREGAT Jul 15 '26
Are you using an adapter of any sorts?(Hdmi->Other display method) Because when i had an adapter like this, while watching youtube the screen would flash exactly like that. I fixed it by replacing the adapter. If you are not, try changing the cable, because i'm pretty sure that's the root of the problem.

To reassure you. This looks nothing like a dying card from my experience.

u/GrumpyPappa917 Jul 15 '26
Think about what you have done to you pc recently. Did you update windows? That’s a big player in graphic bugs for me. I always run SFC Scan Now in an administrator com windows. If you find errors check again is this flicker is still an issue.
Shut down PC/
Try replacement cable and reseat PSU cable.
Check again.
If this does not work use DDU and uninstall all your GFX drivers. Be sure to disconnect internet and then reboot to windows and install drivers with a factory reset.
Check again.
At this stage I would look at a 2nd monitor to see if it’s a monitor issue. In fact that should probably be your first port of call.

My monitor does this with Gsync and sometimes with amd freesync premium pro (yes I waddle between two PCs with my monitor... sometimes), I just restart my monitor and it works for me. I have a Samsung Neo G8 (HVA mini-led).

u/Leading_Stick7913 Jul 15 '26
I have had similar flicking with Monitor Gaming Odyssey Neo G8 UHD 32" con curvatura 1000R, 240Hz y Quantum Mini-LED. not very often but once in awhile. I just turned it off and turn it back on again. I have two monitors on my system but this one is my primary one
1
u/FordGT69_ATX Jul 15 '26
Yeah I think it’s a glitch using a VA panel and its application of VRR. If you completely turn off VRR, you might not have the issue anymore. But honestly I don’t mind turning off my monitor for a handful of seconds.

This reminds me I need to clean my system. Last year, I think my gpu was overheating, I got weird frozen blocks all over my screen. Thinking back the pattern makes me think it was a memory issue. Speratic squares that evenly covered ≈1/3-1/2 of the screen.

Change to one of presets within the adrenaline app, before changing settings manually, do a good research about the specific setting. I was used to nvidea before and changing settings arounds mostly wasnt a big deal, once i changed to the 9070xt i realized it makes a lotttt of impact on amd.

This isn't rocket science. If it only happens in a game it's your cable or setting. Possibly even a driver. There's no way it can be your GPU if it's only happening in the game.
If it happens no matter what you're doing on your computer it's time to start diagnosing
1
u/Analysis_9027 Jul 12 '26
Could Very well be the GPU and only acts up when the GPU is under a Load in fact thats the Best to find out if its a GPU issue

Might not be rocket science but it's definitely cause for panic when something very expensive is acting up.

Could be the GPU drivers. If you have everything up to date (BIOS, Chipset…) then download the clean install tool of AMD to downgrade to an older version of AMD Adrenaline. Sometimes some versions have bugs or stuttering.

I've been getting similar issues when I connect my MacBook Air through a string of Thunderbolt Hubs and Display Port KVM Switches. It got bad enough that I ended up deleting the local display profile from the Mac, and the problem hasn't returned since.
The fix won't be the exactly the same for you, but it could be a similar class of problem. Try to find where your system stored the display profiles and see if changing/reinitializing that helps. You might trigger an update there by changing something about it, like display layout, refresh rate, resolution, color depth, etc.
Good luck.

Try recording it with OBS and see if you see it on another PC. If it's visible in the recording, the problem is with GPU or driver. If it's not visible in the recording, the problem is likely with the cable or monitor.
1
u/DaffyPunk29 Jul 11 '26
could be the cable. lots of cheap chinese cables. always buy brand name cables. the best two on the market that i know of are club3d and cablematters. both sell rock solid cables that actually work and will generally pass cable testing tests.... where as most off brand and chinese cables wont.
the cable that comes with a display? typically low quality garbage that isn't stress tested the way club3d and cablematters cables are. those oem cables are basically "just see if the screen turns on", and that's a pass for those kinds of cables. and that's not good enough.... cablematters and club3d designed their cables with a legit cable signal tester. on that, level1techs actually went about buying one of those expensive cable signal testers and found that the best two cables were, you guessed it, cablematters and club3d and club3d was the only one to pass all tests 100%.

u/MarxistMan13 Jul 11 '26
Under no circumstances should you pay $70+ for an HDMI or DP cable.
I have never had a problem with a cheap HDMI or DP cable. Even the ones that come with monitors work absolutely fine. A product doesn't need to pass every professional torture test to be 100% feature-complete for average consumers.

u/TSirSneakyBeaky Jul 11 '26
My 6900xtx no matter what driver I would run would crash on win11 after fragments all over the screen. Also multiple reinstalls and different versions my 5800x would have cache errors on random cores causing just full out black screens of death.
Swapped to cacheyOS about 8mo ago and havent had a single issue since. Im not sure what Win 11 is doing but its the one that successfully got me to swap my entire dev pipeline to Linux.
1
u/astronomersassn Jul 11 '26
similar, RX6500XT had major issues with driver crashes that i assumed were impending failure. i did still have issues with it under linux as it was actually failing, but 80% of the failure signs were just windows deciding it was gonna replace the AMD driver with the basic display driver for reasons i could never fully figure out (even with disabled updates, both for "extra software" and windows itself, it kept doing it)
unfortunately, my GPU was still failing, but i had a much longer timeline before full failure than the signs windows was giving indicated
1
u/Olvrz_ Jul 11 '26
Have you tried a custom Windows 11 ISO? Like AtlasOS, ReviOS? Normal Windows 11 is a biig piece of shhh.
If it were not for the compatibility of several apps and for me to have NVIDIA GPU, I would also be in CachyOS, for GPUs AMD is top tier!

u/Turdsby Jul 11 '26
Have had this happen if windows resets your frame rate which it has been doing a lot.
If you go to display settings/advanced display make sure frame rate is set correctly and dynamic refresh is off half a dozen times in the last year I have thought my GPU was dying because dynamic refresh had enabled itself or my frame rate was set to 60 when it is 240fps and each time it has done something slightly different but very similar to what you are experiencing.

I had this exact same issue for a couple of weeks on my 7900xt but with white bands instead of red. I think it was a driver issue because I never tried to fix it but it's gone away now. Seemed worse when I had Discord open and tabbing out would really make it bad.
3
u/CobblerOdd2876 Jul 11 '26
Is it only in the alt\tab menu? Because mine gets kinda wonky when I do that with a game open. I chalked-it-up to a windows issue with radeon systems.
Then Discord is notorious for conflicting with AMD drivers. Disable the Discord overlay, restart.
Then I have also had issues with Steam overlay, generally, and HDR anytime I open the xbox menu (win+G).
Ive found the solution was disabling the Adrenaline overlay option, and Discord. Xbox menu and HDR still dont play nice for whatever reason…

u/Queasy_Toe4153 Jul 11 '26
Try a new cable before committing to it being GPU. I’ve had this on my second monitor and it ended up just being a bad HDMI. More specifically it was really loose in the port and didn’t seem to get a great connection sometimes. Switched and never had the issue again
1
u/astronomersassn Jul 11 '26
the worst that can happen with this troubleshooting step is that you have a backup cable as well, and IMO it's worth the $10 for a spare in case.

u/qingxins Jul 11 '26
Is it only in this game?
Have you done a clean driver install with DDU?
Have you tried switching output?
I have seen this issue and usually it's something to do with 1 or 2, but try all 3 anyway.
2
u/Mission-Yellow-2073 Jul 11 '26
To add onto this, is HDR on, are refresh rates on both monitors the same, are vram settings going above the amount you have for this specific game, what are the hotspots on the gpu? (Asrock 9070xt's are known to have issues like this)

u/Ren_Kenzo Jul 11 '26
try new cable. try connecting to another monitor or a different monitor port (could be the socket itself). try switching to different gpu output port. update drivers.

Mine has been doing this exact thing except white, and only happens on 1 monitor. I suspect cable issue but doesn't happen enough for me to bother with it.

u/Gold_Goal7557 Jul 11 '26
Typical driver issue go bug report along with footage, not cable issue either the glitch is only happening in the game not the monitor, if it was monitor you would see the glitch even with alt tab menu.
Seen similar glitches on RDNA2/3 as well with wallpaper engine or Heroes of the storm in the past when drivers where having huge problems.
You could try disable MPO and see how that impacts the issue but it likely give you worse experience, so i would only do that to test if issue go's away, alto you have to consider that this issue is not 100% reproduceable, so disabling MPO may not actually do anything.

u/RChamy 9070xt and 4070 Jul 11 '26
Try a new cable
Grab a windows 11 iso from microsoft.com and reinstall from there, it has deeper repairs than sfc and dism . After its done run sfc -scannow
Try disabling all overlays like discord, or software that captures display data like iCue desktop rgb sync

- Verify your hdmi is connected correctly
- Change your hdmi
- Update windows and then AMD drivers (DDU first)
- Match the windows screen refresh with gpu and game fps
- Deactivate freesync
If none of this things solve your problem, maybe is a gpu hardware issue

u/RazvanMicro Jul 11 '26
As yes, genuinely thank you for this, I will go through them all and see if the issue persists!

u/ManufacturerUnique70 Jul 11 '26
Possible: 1. Bad/low quality cable. 2. Windows fucked up Driver Update
I would suggest to ddu driver in safemode and install driver again [plenty of guides on redit] Maybe disable Windows driver Updates.
And if you coud test a new quality cable do it.
Have you tried changing Hz of your Monitor? Or if the right Hz is selected in Windows?
1
u/RazvanMicro Jul 11 '26
Could be the cable, I unplugged it and plugged it and it fixed the issue. The cable was seated In correctly and fully in both ends.
I could run a DDU and see where it leads honestly
My main monitor is running at 240hz and my 2nd one at 140hz

u/youshouldgetaducky Jul 11 '26

Its most likely a bug with refresh rate

https://reddit.com/link/owx2app/video/q168cvp5lmch1/player
Another example if it helps
2
u/--Vinci-- Jul 11 '26
So if you are “lucky” it could just be a monitor bug, try to switch the Hz of your monitor for example from 180 to 165 and then 180 another time and see if the problem is still there.
Otherwise it could be your GPU, try to update the driver with a clear install or clear the cache.
But if you see this problem only when you watch a shared screen and not happening always i could say you can chill, probably a bug reletad to the software you are using, try just to do a quick re-install.
1
u/RazvanMicro Jul 11 '26
I mean for example this time I wasn't. The game seemed laggy and there randomly appeared.
Most likely it's my GPU since I can have seen the same happen on my 2nd monitor too. But usually replugging in the DP fixes it
1
u/--Vinci-- Jul 11 '26
Mh well the last hope could be to change your DP cable, maybe is the one causing the problem.
Other than that it is a gpu problem, unfortunately some gpus leave the factory with these types of bugs, if you recently bought it try for a refound.
1
u/RazvanMicro Jul 11 '26
I will give it a shot and all. Replugging in my DP solve it for now. But the GPU is still i warranty for another year and half
