I just got a pre-built Skytech Vision 011 and I've been trying to play games, but I'm running into some serious issues. Whenever I use the Xbox app for Fortnite, the game freezes, and I get some errors related to the game driver. As for Counter-Strike 2, it's lagging like crazy. I suspect it might be a problem with my GPU since the usage shows 0% at startup, which seems strange. Plus, my screen flickers continuously, especially while gaming. The cables connected to the GPU seem fine, but I'm not sure if I need to adjust anything on the motherboard. I'm looking for advice on whether this is a GPU issue, a cable problem, or something else entirely. Any help would be much appreciated!

It sounds like the flickering could be related to either the monitor or the PC itself. If it was working for a few hours before the flickering started, it might help to test the monitor with another device. If that doesn’t help, try reseating all connections and ensuring that everything is firmly plugged in.
First off, make sure your graphics drivers are completely up to date. Outdated drivers can cause a ton of issues with games. After that, double-check that your monitor is actually plugged into the GPU and not the motherboard by accident. It should be connected to the graphics card directly to avoid problems like lag and flickering.
You might also want to check the display settings in Windows. Sometimes, issues occur because the refresh rate is set incorrectly for the monitor. And don't worry if you feel new to this; we all start somewhere! Just take it step by step. If you're ever unsure, there's always help available!
