My desktop is full with white flickering pixels and in games, like Overwatch, CS:GO the whole screen is flickering and its literally unplayable.

here are some videos of the flickering and white pixels :

My specs : Sapphire rx 580 4gb GPU

Aorus b450 elite

ryzen 5 2600 CPU

Corsair tx 650w PSU

I tried a different monitor and a different HDMI cabel but nothing worked.

I hope someone can help me with this problem
