Active window keeps refreshing (?) and flickers, key presses gets interrupted, etc.

Arachnera

Sorry for the incomprehensible title but I really don't know how to describe this symptom. My pc one day decided to screw with me and the active windows started acting up. if I'm holding down W while playing a game for example, I get interrupted and stop dead in the track. When I'm typing something in firefox, the suggested list goes away at a random interval and the window keeps flickering every so often as if it's reappearing. When in device manager, if I have an item selected, it blinks every so often. These are some of the symptoms I can list and I really don't know if there's an elegant way to describe the issues I've been encountering.

 

So far, I've tried reinstalling my graphics driver, trimming down unnecessary background processes, swap out my input devices, but nothing seemed to work.

 

I also tried signing into a different account and the symptom doesn't appear there.

Maybe keyboard related? Try some online keyboard test like https://keyboard-test.space

 | Enermax NAXN82+ 650W 80Plus Bronze | Fiio E07K | Grado SR80i | Cooler Master XB HAF EVO | Logitech G27 | Logitech G600 | CM Storm Quickfire TK | DualShock 4 |

Off chance it might be the keyboard, try a different one?
