Screen flickering when loading games or using other software

[General Yosif]

Greetings!

I have a problem that seems to not be that common and couldn't find a fix after a little bit of searching, so I apologize in advance if I am duping a post.

My monitor is flickering specifically when a game is loading or I am in a loading screen. It also flickers when using software like blender, adobe photoshop and unity for just light tasks. It doesn't constantly flicker though, excluding when something is loading in there it also flickers when hovering with my mouse cursor over the screen. It would have been fine if that occurred only when something is loading but it started bothering me when I became using creative software and it distracts me when doing my work.

Defining my flickering- my screen seems to be changing the brightness upright(or maybe the gamma, because something scales up also on max brightness) a couple times a second(2-10) when loading something i.e. in a game, the game, a software, or using the software when moving my mouse and loading something in there.

I will provide other information, images, or videos if desired.

I will be very grateful if you come up with a solution for this. I've heard that the problem isn't really that rare, because it is not bothering gamers when they only see that in loading screens. That may be occurring on high refresh rate LCD panels but I digress.

Theories and additional stuff:

The cables and hardware is all seated properly. It is not a hardware issue except maybe the panel technology;
I did use ddu when installing my graphics card;

I have already did the simple settings like putting g-sync, max herz, and changing the monitor driver from the default windows generic pnp display;

The screen doesn't have phisical damage except maybe standart stuff of ware that I haven't looked too closely lately on the panel;

Although, I have thrown and hit accidentally the middle top part of the screen with the tip of a ballpoint pen and 5 pixels usynchronized with the colors and are either blue or black but that is an impossible reason for the flickering because I am sure that it was happening since the first day of the system;

I have heard that PSU could cause this because some of the flickering problems are related to power. Mine is behaving kinda funny recently. Sometimes it starts doing some high pitch noise but that is probably the fan dying because it became louder than before;

It's a curse. I do live a happy satisfying life but "God giveth, God taketh", right? Although I might get success in other beneficial initiatives but I am obliged to get a small counter to this by very tiny and only little irritating problems with my PC. I have had many others like this type and my mind is melting whenever I fix it;

The small problems I am talking about might be because I am living in Bulgaria. The fact living here is not particularly the cause but the thing called "third quality" that here is common. The things sold here might be first use, but the quality that gets here is one that barely meets the standard (or maybe not even) for it to qualify for selling. I don't know what we are importing, but I know that we are one of the last in the line. The stuff is sailed first from eastern Asia to the USA, then from the USA to western Europe and only then it is our turn. It is known that it is common practice for the countries from the euro-atlantic cycle to screw us over a lot but I individually can not do anything for that right now. The stuff is so rigged that the problem may be because of the case light at that point...
