NVidia GT 730 flickering/turning off after changing monitor config

M

MantasXVIII

If I boot and startx and do nothing to the displays (3 monitors, HDMI), it works flawlessly. If I move them around in any way or change refresh rate or do absolutely anything with `xrandr` or `nvidia-settings`:
The non-primary displays flicker and turn on and off as I scroll a tab on any browser. If I am on nvidia settings, any time I touch anything the display turns off and on.

What is driving me insane is that I can't get it to preconfigure to the perfect settings, maybe I just don't understand xorg configuration. I tried `nvidia-xconfig`, I tried my other old xorg configs and I'm still having this issue.

NOTE:
I have another GPU in this PC I am using for passthrough. It is an AMD GPU. I am not loading any AMD drivers. I am not sure if this affects it but it might.


Driver version:
nvidia-driver-470-161 (out of date according to https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/226762/en-us/)

See files for more info



EDIT:
It seems to be happening from boot now. Could this be faulty hardware? I have replaced the cables.
I will also try from a fresh install or live media or something.

I can't comment on HDMI, sorry.

No comparable problem here with three displays (HP ZBook 17 G2 plus 2x Philips 271P4 on DisplayPort).
