Have you tried messing with resolutions/refresh rates?

Might also be a bad graphics card, I'm not sure.

When you say flicker for 5 seconds... do you mean they just turn off and on for a few seconds then display normally? Sounds like normal Windows things when detecting a display to me if that's the case.

like it use to just turn off for a few second then turn back on then be normal. But now its turn off and on multi times. then goes back to normal . like if its a normal thing that alright. But Kinda bothers my eyes from it flickering like this. and its new, like it just started a at most 2 weeks ago.

I think it depends how quickly the monitor responds, sometimes you get just one blink, but sometimes there could be several.Ā  Its always been a bit of a pain when switching between different numbers of displays.

It's just your GPU and windows getting their shit together now that:

  1. The desktop is a different size
  2. The GPU needs to provide output to a different number of displays

Not really a problem, more of just a side effect of how you're using the system.

I edit the shit out of my posts.Ā  Refresh before you respond.

Static buildup most likely.Ā  Your DP cables may be backfeeding a little bit which will build up static over time.
