Screen Flickering

Hello, from last 2 weeks ago. I have bought a new tower with Windows 8.1 on it. I have already owned the monitor before I got the tower.
But, I am having problems with the Screen Flickering. It only flicks like a shave (transparent grey bar shave), it does it every minute.. but not all the time.

My Graphics Card is successfully up-to-date, I have to do a check and update all the other devices to see if this problem was solved. But, it didn't.

My Graphics Card is: AMD Radeon HD 7310 Graphics
For more information about my Specs, please click it below that says "My System Specs".

Thank you for reading!

Regards,
~Benjamin123

Are you using the correct refresh rate for your monitor in Control Panel? Check in Control panel // Appearance and Personalization // Adjust screen resolution > Advanced Settings > Monitor Tab > Screen Refresh Rate (I'm pretty sure your monitor uses 60 Hz, if it's already on that make it higher).

Above, that didn't help. How do I make the flicking stop. It's quite annoying, do I have to get a new PC screen or something??

Okay, I have found another screen in my cupboard. I plugged it in, but then - it still flickers at 60Hz. I want it so that it can go higher than 60Hz, I know that there is a option in Control Panel that you can change your Hertz, but my only have 60Hz.. nothing else.

Yes, I had replaced with the same RGB cable - but the problem still exist. I have bought another cable, but it wont fit in to the port on the tower. I checked my PC's screen cable, screwed them tight - still exist. Check power voltage, the voltage is fine. Just that it flickers if something is grey in the background that mixes up with different colours makes a flicker.

Okay, I have cleaned the tower by getting rid of the dust and checking all the cables. Got it all back together, the problem didn't solve. But is there any problems that I can solve from this flickering problem?
