my screen has started flickering since i have moved my pc to a new case it has started to flicker and i have looked on forms to see what might be causing this im using a gtx 950 and have already fresh installed the drivers, checked the connections and i have gotten nowhere thanks

i had this exact problem in my case (not pc case) it was my cpu overheating the north bridge, so until i get a new motherboard i have a fan suspended in mid air pointing at the north bridge heat spreader and for the last month it has been working fine
