Step-by-Step Fix

Disable G-Sync/FreeSync

Some monitors flicker when the FPS drops too low with VRR active.

2

Reseat GPU Cable

Ensure the cable is firmly plugged into both the GPU and monitor.

Lower Refresh Rate

Try 120Hz instead of 144Hz to see if it stabilizes.

Flickering is often caused by a "Ground Loop" or power interference. Try a different wall outlet.
