Problem with gpu drivers

[SemSau]

I have a RX 590 and it started having problems today. When i plugged in my displayport cable my monitor started to have random lines show up on screen and sometimes turn off and on again. When i set it from 144hz to 60hz it works fine. When i uninstalled the amd drivers it also worked just fine but when i redownloaded them the problem reoccurred

Check to be sure you don't have vertical synchronization or g-sync or some other stabilization enabled. This caps FPS at 60 or so to eliminate artifacts and tearing. Otherwise, you may have the incorrect driver for your card. I have seen issues where someone had an OC card and wasn't aware of it, or vice versa, and the drivers for the standard model caused problems.

1. This happens whether im in game or not (but happens more in-game). This also happens with freesync on and off

2. These drivers has worked for the 2.5 years i have had my gpu and only started causing problems today. I do not have an overclocked gpu

Two and a half years... What are your temps like? Could be acting up due to overheating, or have heat related damage. You can change the thermal pads and paste as a cheap means of determining this. It may ultimately need repair, but this is a good early check if nothing else is obvious.

Have you tried a different DP cable? Sometimes it really can be that simple.

It really does sound like cable, or some sort of bad connection with the DP port, which could be a cracked or 'cold' solder joint.
