Way 4. Check Cables and Monitors

Check all the cable connections from your monitor to the computer to ensure the cables are secure. If you have spare monitor cables, you can try replacing your current cables with the spare.

If your Acer PC is a laptop, you should lower and raise your laptop screen repeatedly to check if the flicker is related to movement. If certain angles flicker while others don’t, chances are you’re dealing with faulty internal wiring.
