I've been experiencing some annoying screen flickers that only happen while I'm browsing the web. This started after I installed the latest driver, and although I can game for hours without any issues, the screen will randomly go black for a moment before coming back on again. I'm not seeing any errors in Event Viewer or the Reliability Monitor. I've got a fresh installation of Windows 11 25H2 and even swapped out my DisplayPort cable for a certified one, but the problem still occurs. It usually happens once or twice a day, and I've tried using my wife's monitor too, but it's still there. I've stress-tested my system with 3D Mark 11 extensively without any issues. I'm now considering using DDU for a clean driver install, but I'm not sure if it's necessary since I've only used version 581.80. I predominantly use Google Chrome, though I'm a bit hesitant to switch browsers just yet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Here are my specs: Asus Rog Strix X870E-H, AMD 9950X3D (PBO OFF), Corsair Vengeance 32GB 6000MTs CL28 (EXPO Enabled), Asus PRIME Nvidia RTX 5080, Corsair RM1000X, Samsung 990 PRO 2TB, Noctua D15G2, Fractal North Black TG, Alienware AW3423DWF (also tested with a Dell S3422DWG).

Did you manually overclock your CPU? That could be affecting your system's stability. If you didn’t overclock, do you know what the current stock voltage is?
Have you tried using a different browser? Sometimes the issue might be tied to the specific browser you're using. Just a thought!
I can give Edge a shot, but I'd really prefer to stick with Google Chrome.
Nope, I don't overclock. I'm running at stock voltage, but I'm not sure what exactly that is. Last time I checked, I don't think it went over 1.4V.
