    I first thought that my issue may be a problem with my discrete gpu but now wonder if its a problem with the integrated gpu. what happens is only when i overclock my gpu (even just a little bit) the screen flickers. It doesn't flicker in game but does everywhere else. including in game menus. i noticed today when i plugged in my 23" Acer monitor that it didn't flicker on the acer but looked worse on the laptop monitor. when i unplugged the monitor my laptop monitor went back to the way it usually flickers. i tried repasting my gpu and now wonder if its a problem with the intel integrated graphics. so what do you think is it a problem with one of my graphics cards or is it an issue with the screen itself?
