Flickering on driver 19.8.1 R9 390

Hi,

I'm having an issue with my R9 390, I noticed that since I updated my driver to 19.8.1 i'm getting really bad flickering on my monitor.

However, if I go to the device manager and uninstall the driver and let Windows install the driver through Windows update (17.1.1), the flickering is gone.

Just in case it helps, this is the hardware that i'm using:

Displayport cable:

GPU:

Radeon™ R9 390 DD XXX OC 1050MHZ 8GB DDR5 DP HDMI 2XDVI - R9-390P-8DB6 

Monitor:

This happens with or without freesync on and also on 75 Hz or 60 Hz.

Any idea what the issue could be?

Thanks!

I figured it out, I booted Linux and noted that the flickering was gone. So, I must have been software related, I reinstalled Windows and the problem is now fixed.

No idea what might have caused it but that solved the problem.
