Hello, I'm sorry if the following post seems noobish, I'm kind of flying in the dark here (literally made a reddit account for this) but I'll be as detailed as possible for my issue - specs down at bottom
I've been having some unknown issues with the screen, flickering in and out / flashing whenever I go on certain tabs (attached video for reference). It doesn't happen often, but with Spotify, it happens quite frequently - app or website. This started semi recently?
But It didn't bother me as much since I didn't use the spotify app or website on pc often. Th thing is it's been happening more often and just tonight, I believe my pc crashed? I was listening to soundcloud and the computer suddenly lagged and then went dark. It was still "lit up" but the monitor wasn't showing anything. I waited a few seconds then restarted the entire pc. It rebooted just fine but now I'm paranoid to even do anything without unintentionally screwing anything up (like walking on a broken bone).
I thought it was the HDMI, wiggled the cord around but the monitor itself would've said "Signal Lost". I ran Dx check, it said everything checked out, updated drivers through NVIDIA, yet still happening. I'm unsure what to do from here. I already contacted IBUYPOWER support in the past but that was about the RGB lights not coming back on after going idle. But I fixed that with MSI center.
Bought from Best Buy last year in November, I believe I got the warranty but I'd really hate to return it. Taking it in also may be a bit of an oof spot since I'd have to wiggle in a good time with work. Kind of flying a bit blind but this is my first prebuilt and first gaming pc (since I was only using a Lenovo laptop for five years). Should I take this over to MSI? How cooked am I? Any insight appreciated, thanks!!
