My monitor is glitching

MeowSlash3r · 2025-03-02 20:07:20

I have a laptop and a monitor connected to it, which is the one I have a problem with. The laptop screen works perfectly fine. My gpu and cpu is amd.
I also use hyprland with HyDE dotfiles.

I think this happens when I open something on the monitor's screen, a browser for example. Then the screen freezes for a while and when I can move my mouse again, it starts to flicker very quickly with purple and green. Sometimes it stops for a while. And the coursor sometimes becomes a purple sqare (but only on the second screen, the laptop screen works fine). I can drag the windows from this screen to the laptop screen, but I can't see it on the monitor's screen because it just freezes.

I had this issue for a while now and tried editing the config file, changing the cable and some other stuff.

Btw it also happened on windows but only a few times, it was a single flicker and my screen didn't freeze.

(I feel like this question might be dumb but I'm 14 and have really basic knowledge about computers so please be nice (╥﹏╥) )

1. lose the 3rd party dotfiles, how does hyprland behave in the default configuration?
2. do you get the same w/ weston/sway/X11?
If so, please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General for an oversight of the setup.

Btw it also happened on windows

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.
