    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    I got the new power strip and the issue still occurred, but I got rid of a few other plugs on it and so far it seems to be going okay? But I'm still gonna keep an eye on it, but I'm definitely leaning more towards a power issue. If not though do you think the case could be the issue perhaps...

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    In all honesty, that is one thing I have overlooked for a long time as my current one is well over 10 years old. I'll be getting a new one tomorrow to see if that helps, but nothing else on the power strip is having any issues. Unless the monitors and PC are taking up much more so they are...

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    Okay, so I don't believe its the monitors. I was able to trade monitors with someone since yesterday, they experienced no flickering from the monitors. For me using different monitors, the entirety of yesterday they were fine, but today I experienced a flicker from both screens randomly at...

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    This is true, I'm just still confused monitor wise since even the new one my friend let me borrow still had the flickering issue too. Unless this is just an issue with BenQ monitors? But I used them for a year or two without issues beforehand. I'm not noticing issues with any of my other...

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    Okay, so I got the new RAM, the same kinda and brand just 3200 instead of 2400 and the issue still persists. I even went into the bios and made sure the speed was set to 3200 cause I checked and saw it was running at 2100 beforehand, but still nothing. I'm at a loss.

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    Yeah it was still flickering, even with the one monitor though it was connected with a display port cable. But alright I'll see what I can find and update in a few days whenever I get the chance, thank you again very much!

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    Okay so these are the results of the two tests, the first two sent are with one monitor and the second two are with both. Okay so I'll try and get new RAM sticks and see, should I still get 32GB all together or is 16GB good enough?

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    Yeah pretty much haha, I've tried quite a few things in the past but its very weird. Its for the new MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk, I clean installed onto my old HDD when I upgraded and soon after I got the Crucial P3 Plus 1TB and cloned it from the HDD to it.

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    Okay so that should be the next area to look at then? Not cleanly installed no, I thought cloning would've been good enough after it was installed from the HDD beforehand. Should I do a clean install on the new SSD as well just to make sure?

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    Yes this is with the new PSU. The RAM was the same for each as well but I'm not sure if that do anything. I did a clean install to the previous HDD, but once I got the new Crucial P3 Plus 1TB, I cloned it onto that. Even after the clean install the issue was still happening.

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    So I managed to borrow a newer monitor from a friend, its also a BenQ but its the Mobius EX240. I switched out both monitors and the issue persists on both. Something interesting I did find though is that if both are using Display ports the flickering happens much faster, I dunno if that...

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    I appreciate it, but unfortunately next day the issue is still occurring. So next should I look towards replacing a monitor to see if that does anything?

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    Okay thank you, I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes. It should be arriving today, so here's hoping!

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    I wasn't able to use it for a long period but I didn't notice any issues immediately, often the issue doesn't occur much at the start of new equipment, but after time it becomes more frequent. I just bought a EVGA Supernova 650 G6 so I'm waiting on that since it was high enough on the...

    Solved Monitor flickering and USB ports randomly mess up

    I have tried another of the same exact monitor I borrowed from a friend and the issue was still there, however I did switch them for a different monitor entirely and the issue wasn't present on either, though the bad monitor was the only one being used so it seems more as an issue with it being...
