  • @mashuptwice when did i mention about killing my pc during a driver update? And btw, Nvidia always asks me first if i want to install the downloaded update and never updates on its own in the background Commented Feb 21, 2022 at 9:01

  • Use rapr.exe to remove conflicting drivers? Even if you have the nVidia driver installed, it's still possible due to various factors such as driver conflict, UEFI bad setting, etc., that your system is switching to onboard graphics or your GPU is crashing, which is what the black flashes are indicative of, Check your dxdiag.exe for anything that looks to be out of place, and also check to see if the game you're running supports running on other graphics modes, e.g., DX9. Oh and see if the problem is present when you install the GPU drivers hosted by your hardware's OEM support page.
