Games are giving me black screen flickering - GTX 1070

[laushik]

A few weeks ago, windows automatically installed an update and after that, I tried playing rocket league and the screen goes black for a second every 5 seconds. Note: I have been using this setup for nearly 4 years with ZERO issues and I have no OC's on and nothing is overheating. I tried on GTA 5 and Valorant and it does the same. The flickers occurs on both of my monitors and sometimes at the same time, but I can still hear the game and there's no stuttering. Additionally, on MSI Afterburner, when I increase the voltage limit, the flickering becomes MUCH more frequent. With the 1070, I also get issues during restarts where sometimes the screen just goes totally black and I have to hard reboot. Pls help

 

Things I have tried: 

• Reinstalling windows (did not fix)
• DDU and reinstalling gpu drivers (did not fix)
• Trying different monitors separably (did not fix)
• Trying the IGPU (fixed the issue) 
• Trying a new gpu (fixed the issue)
• Trying new power supply (did not fix the issue) 
• Tried dusting pc (did not fix)  

I really have a hard time believing that my card is dying because what are the chances it occurs right after a windows update? My theory is that the new windows update installed a new version of Microsoft store nvidia control panel that is compatible with the RTX 2070 SUPER that I tested, but not compatible with my 1070, or it is glitching with my 1070?. Pls help!

Have you maybe try to swap your GPU and test it on second PC.

That's a good point, but I don't have a second pc to test it on.

I have tried older GPU drivers and it did not fix the issue. Also, during stress tests, the GPU does not flicker.
