Screen flickers black while playing some games

[Sonikku]

I just built a new system with everything new but a used 1080 ti and it's been great so far, but sometimes while playing Battlefront 2 for a while the screen starts to go black for a split second back and forth and it doesn't stop. The system has all the latest drivers and windows updates. The system is running on a 750 watt power supply. What could be causing it?

Connected via HDMI? Try a new cable, or possibly a more expensive branded one (but honestly, just another generic one that's actually rated for 4K60 UHD would probably suffice. $2 at Newegg when they have a sale, which is like every two weeks or sooner).

I could send you one.

my system does exactly the same, on my 1070.i have tried every thing but changing the cable. will try that now.

Try a new cable, i find when hdmi cables fail they either do black flickers, or white dots all over the screen.

Could you post the brand and model of your PSU?

Have you tried some older driver? GeForce 417.xx are bugged as hell :/

Swapping cables did the trick.
