Monitor Flickering black scren display port

I recently got a new PC with an RTX 5070. When I tested it at the shop, everything seemed fine. However, after bringing it home and connecting it to my monitor, the screen started flickering black, and "DisplayPort" appeared in the top left corner. I've tried a few things to fix this issue:

1. I bought a new Ugreen DisplayPort cable, but the flickering persists.

2. I tried turning off G-Sync.

I discovered that if I disable G-Sync and enable Instant Replay + Display Capture, the flickering stops. However, sometimes when I'm playing a game and switch to a Chrome tab (I usually only have YouTube open for music, not streaming sites like Netflix), Instant Replay turns off, possibly due to DRM. When this happens, the flickering starts again. This problem is quite annoying, and I'm wondering how to fix it. Do I need a new monitor?or its just soft ware error

Here are my system specifications:

Monitor: - Samsung Odyssey G4, using DisplayPort version 1.2

Old PC (no flickering issues with this monitor):

- CPU: Intel Core i9-12900F - GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

New PC (experiencing flickering):

- CPU: Intel Core i5-14600KF - GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070
