computer issue * help plz
So i got a HP OMEN pre build from bestbuy a year ago, lately after windows update my screen started to flicker (goes black for one second) when i fast forward the video such as youtube and movies, everything else is fine.
initially i thought it was the monitor so i went and switched it up, changed the hdmi cable and problem still exist. (monitor is a HP 7ms response time..i doubt this is the issue as i dont game)
After i re format the computer, i turned off the window update and problem seems to occur much less. before was every time when i fast forward, now its occasionally, i tried everything youtube suggested..such as turn off error/report turned off in msconfig, i dont have norton or itune installed...updated the video driver and still no luck.
Could it be my video card?
its a invidia GTX960
I dont wonna go out and buy a video card and turns out that is not the issue. I heard bestbuy recently changed the policy that once u open it you cant return?
Gut feeling is driver related. Did you go to Nvidia's website and download the latest driver for your card? Don't do it via Windows built in driver tool.
If that doesn't fix it, some motherboards have a build in HDMI port. In other words, if your computer has another port, try that. It would bypass your video card completely.
The only other thing I can think of is to disconnect power, open up the case and nudge your card gently into your motherboard to make sure it's seated correctly.
look by the USB ports in the back to see if there's a video connection (DVI, HDMI, DP etc.) that's not on the video card
if you haven't made any changes to your computer recently and the problem started out of the blue, it's likey your video card..then again you don't play games so it's hard for the discrete graphics to fail in sucha short time

Use another display cable and port like DP or VGA to rule out the HDMI cable/ports

lol alright
i do plan to get a 4k monitor....apparently rumor has it that a lot of fonts gets fucked up? since window 10 doesnt support it 100% especially when it comes to apps and shit
If you're going 4k, IMO you want at least a 32" screen. I was given a 27" at work and I can't see a damn thing so I run it at 1440 which is stupid but whatever. I'm currently driving that with an old HD 5570, so I imagine anything made in the last ~5 years can push 4k.

I paid $340 plus shipping and taxes for my 8 gig 580's. Running 24/7 you will make around $60 a month after power costs depending on the current price of the coin.
