M27Q X monitor sometimes flickers black for a couple seconds then back on

[phillpower2]

Testing one monitor at a time using the HDMI port is a must.

Doing any testing with both monitors connected is a 100% complete waste of time as the two totally different spec monitors will definitely cause issues, the 60Hz monitor is way too slow to be paired with the 240Hz screen.

OK, got it. Disconnected my secondary monitor and now using my main monitor with HDMI.

[tiucaner]

Still happening. Same 2 second black flicker.

[phillpower2]

If the HDMI was used in the first test, disconnect the first monitor and hook up the second monitor via HDMI ports and repeat your testing.

Have both screens HDMI ports been tested and both have the same flicker.

[tiucaner]

Yes. But the second monitor is rarer, just like before.

[phillpower2]

Would I be correct in that the second monitor is the much lower spec and therefore the less demanding 60Hz HP 22w.

The fact that it happens with both monitors suggests that it is not screen but hardware related, the latter of which could even include a settings issue.

[tiucaner]

The weird thing is the PC performs as normal, either with demanding applications like Premiere, After Effects or simply gaming. Just the annoying flickers. Though I’m not savvy enough for this, I read that this could be electrical interference of some kind?

You did not answer the question that was asked.

[tiucaner]

You did not answer the question that was asked.

Did not understand that was a question. Indeed, it is is the less demanding one.

Does the issue happen regardless of what the PC is being used for or is it only when under load such as gaming or watching videos etc.

Couple of glaringly bad things going on in Speccy but before elaborating I have to ask why Windows is shown to only have had the one update since it was first installed.[/COLOR]

[tiucaner]

That shouldn’t be the case, I’ve update regularly.

[phillpower2]

Strange because as you can see yourself Speccy is only showing the one Windows update having been installed and one that has failed to install on two separate occasions.

Why do you have the Kingston SSD installed as RAID.

Isn’t this standard with SSDs these days?
