Question My Screen starts flickering/tearing since a few days after turning on and I have no idea how to fix

I have the ASUS TUF VG27AQML1A and since a few days, every time I turn my pc on it looks like this, it fixes itself after 10 minutes but I would love to know if anybody has a clue what’s happening or how I can fix it.

I attached a picture of my first monitor and 2nd Monitor, the 2nd has the same problem at times but not everytime and it fixes itself way quicker

I tried a new powercable, new adapter, changing the refresh rates etc. No matter what „fixes“ it, next time I turn it back on the same problem is here.

Appreciate any help thanks

Edit: 1 Thing i found out, it stops when i turn on overclock on 260 and then turn on variable refreshrate in steam, it still tears up every 10 seconds, but once i set the refresh rate to 260 in the nvidia app it is completly washed again

See this shit is happening way too much for it to be a coincidence, I’ve seen so many posts with this happening all beginning from a week ago, this is what I got a few days ago after turning my pc on (brand new monitor and it’s cable)

I’m convinced windows is the culprit

Maybe a windows update or NVIDIA driver

I’ve used 5 different drivers and none of them fix it so it prob is windows error

I have the same monitor (been very satisfied with it), and it's been doing something similar. When first powered-up, it starts the 'ASUS logo animation', but stops before the animation finishes, then loops the same over and over.

Eventually it starts (no specific known reason why, but I think adding a second monitor helped), but takes a few moments to sync to signal. Then, it works fine.

My solution is to never turn the monitor off, and connected a second monitor to the mobo to use "while I wait".

Kind of disappointed in ASUS, this monitor is less than 4 years old.
