Title. I just bought a new monitor (HP 22er) and it randomly turns off and on, or I guess, it doesn't turn off, the screen just "flickers" to black and then instantly comes back on. I have the latest NVIDIA drivers installed and already downloaded the HP 22er drivers from the HP website.

 

System details:

OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-Bit)

CPU: Intel Core i5-7400

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H

RAM: 16GB Kingston HyperX Fury Black 2666MHz

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050Ti SC Gaming 4GB

PSU: EVGA SuperNova 650P2

SSD: ADATA 256GB XPG M.2

 

So yeah, it would be awesome if I could stop this from happening since the monitor is new. This didn't happen with my previous one and I'm 100% sure this is not a hardware problem since I've already tried to connect it to another PC and it works perfectly. As an interesting detail, the monitor does this mostly when I'm watching YouTube, I tried Netflix and it didn't happen, also I checked if it happened while gaming and it doesn't at all (tested for 5 hours on Overwatch, LoL, CS:GO and Night in The Woods)

Either power getting to monitor is unstable or your adapter is damaged

Confirm if it's monitor or the computer.

It may actually be the first one... you're right, but I have no way of testing this as I have no other connections than a surge protector strip.

Try changing the socket of the adapter multiple times, see if it helps

Already tried that, I think I'll have to buy a better surge protector, but first I'll borrow one from someone to test if this solves my problem.
