I built a computer (one week ago) and innstalled windows 8, as usual I innstalled every program I wanted, including some games, then a problem appeared, the desktop screen was fliskering (and still is) I have searched the web since then and tried nearly everything I can, as: reinstalling driver (see bottom for more details), refreshing windows (didn't fix it), reinstalled old graphic drivers (tried with many different) and many other things I dont remember...
When the flickering occurs, the desktop is getting blue or something (think it is the color of the background of the "start"-menu) and the icons in the task bar (where you are opening programs on the bottom of the screen) and the dektop, is gone to the flickering is over. The flickering is done after 1-2 seconds, and are fairly random occupering, not often.
System specs/programs:
ASUS GeForce GTX 660Ti 2GB PhysX CUDA
Intel® Core i5-3570K
Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600 MHz 16GB (local special edition)
ASUS P8Z77-V LK, Socket-1155

https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/527599/windows-8-issues-solved-please-read-if-you-39-re-having-black-screen-and-or-flickering-/ I think that post was helping me to get nearly no flickering, but not completely gone, because before I did that, it happened every minute or faster, now maybe once a hour...
Thanks, please just ask if I have forgotten something, you may have noticed that im not a good english writer
