i7 6700k - 530 HD displays artifacts, flickers, goes black, etc. etc.

[ACabr5]

Bought a new computer and upon finishing Windows 10 Pro installation, noticed that the display connected on the 530 keeps showing artifacts-flickers every now and then, sometimes it goes black for 1-2 seconds then comes back.

When I thought it was the display, I tried it on the old computer, and everything worked perfectly.

I thought that it was a problem on the memory, tried with 1 stick (after running memtest) and the problem still existed.

Updated the drivers to the latest - still problem persists.

Finally went to google the problem and found out I am not the only one with the GPU flickering - it's so dissapointing.

Any ideas?
