Bought a new computer and upon finishing Windows 10 Pro installation, noticed that the display connected on the 530 keeps showing artifacts-flickers every now and then, sometimes it goes black for 1-2 seconds then comes back.
When I thought it was the display, I tried it on the old computer, and everything worked perfectly.
I thought that it was a problem on the memory, tried with 1 stick (after running memtest) and the problem still existed.
Updated the drivers to the latest - still problem persists.
Finally went to google the problem and found out I am not the only one with the GPU flickering - it's so dissapointing.
Any ideas?
