Hi, today i've been having issues with my pc,everytime i try to enter start a game it either crashes or it completely freezes and the monitors flickers like hell (similar to the grey screen of death just more extreme flickering),ive tried looking at my temps and usage,they are all normal (msi afterburner) when the screen flickers i cant even turn off my pc using the power button,i have to unplug the power cable to do so,ive also tried updating drivers,cleaning out the dust from my pc and checking the cables,but it still doesnt work.suggestions/help would be much appreciated
