So my monitor is flickering colors on startup and i tried changing the powercord and the hdmi i also tried deleting and reinstalled the drivers
are you able to try a different monitor?
Hey, that sounds frustrating—good job already trying the basic fixes like swapping the HDMI and power cable and reinstalling drivers.
Since it’s happening on startup, it could be a few things beyond cables/drivers:
- Monitor panel warming up issue (some monitors flicker/colors briefly when cold)
- Refresh rate mismatch on boot (try forcing a stable refresh rate in GPU control panel)
- GPU or port issue (try a different display port/HDMI port if available)
- Power instability (even with a new cable, a weak PSU or power strip can cause weird startup behavior)
- Monitor hardware fault (especially if it stabilizes after a few minutes)
If you can, test the monitor on another PC or try a different monitor on your setup—that’s usually the fastest way to isolate the culprit.
Also slightly off-topic but if you’re into gaming setups or usernames while you troubleshoot, you might find something cool here: slyer name generator.
Hope you get it sorted
