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?
