    ok weird one my setup is three monitors on one card, and its been rock solid. since installing AMD Radeon Crimson Edition Graphics Driver 17.6.1 Hotfix , one of teh screens randomly blinks black for a split second. soemtimes its every few minutes, sometimes every few seconds.

    Its worst when a video is playing on one screen and Im working on the other. Different cable, same result. Its honestly giving me a headache. Is this a known thing with multi-monitor setups after driver updates?

    hmmm start with refresh rates. mixed refresh setups are sensitive to driver changes. in Settings > System > Display > Advanced display, set both screens to standard rates first (for example both at 60 Hz) and see if the flicker stops. then raise them one at a time.

    If the windows jump to the main screen, the monitor is actually disconnecting. Thats link training, which can be cable quality, DisplayPort sleep or teh dock. Try a certified cable and disable the monitors own deep sleep/auto input switching.
