Screen flickers black while running anything fullscreen

Title says it all.
The past few months i've had flickering issues in games, but only in full screen. Almost like my GPU shuts it's inputs off. My spec's are as follows:

CPU: Intel Core i5-8600K, OC'd to 4.1ghz. I've tried going stock and it didn't help.

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC ACi 3.0. I've already tried RMA'ing it and it has not fixed it.

PSU: EVGA G3 750w Gold PSU

Monitor: HP 25x at 144hz.

MoBo: MSI Z370 GAMING PLUS

Storage (Boot): Samsung 970 EVO 500gb

Storage (Extra): Seagate Barracuda compute 4tb

 

RMA'ing isn't really an option for me at the moment. All components (except the GPU, which i bought from a friend, but even then the warranty expired in March,) we're purchased on july 4th, 2018 so the warranty on most of them is gone.

 

Here are the CPU-Z readings of my system:

Also, the Afterburner readings before and after running a benchmark:

After running Unigine Superposition:

1080p Extreme:

1080p High:

They flicker in both of these. 

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ddu the drivers?

Here's a video. Should've added it but never got around to. Sorry!

 

Also I formated my (brand new) SSD when I got it, reinstalled all the latest driver's, and it still did it.

It gets worse with more demanding settings.

I'd put more demanding in quotes if it let me. But word limit. It also does that in CS:GO, R6:S, HL2, and any other game that can run fullscreen. I have all my settings on reasonable levels and stuff.

1. Tried that.

2. Why would I DDU if I formatted my drive twice to try and fix it?

3. Temps are fine, they're in the photos with the benchmarks.

4. It does it on HDMI too. (I use a DP Monitor)

Dude, you're missing the point. I got a brand new NVMe SSD and installed a fresh copy of Windows. There can't be old drivers when there's nowhere to get them from.

What sort of cables are you using? I usually see this kind of behavior with cheap cables. Granted the stuff I've seen is even worse. I'm talking it will blank out for a good 2 seconds or so rather than flashing.

It's a 20 dollar displayport cable from bestbuy. And yeah it flickers for like two seconds and then comes back.
