PG278Q 144hz screen flicker

hey guys
so i recently started having problems with my PG278Q
i get whole screen flicker at 144hz, at the desktop and in games/benchmarks
switching to 60hz or 120hz with the turbo button makes it go away, but it comes back if you cycle through to 144hz again
i have tried different drivers, different resolutions (see - https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?58187-Fix-for-144Hz-flickering-on-ROG-Swift-PG278Q-with-R9...) and have tried unplugging it and plugging it back in like i read somewhere.
the plug trick works for a short time then it comes back, mainly after it has sat in standby mode it seems ( i have windows set to turn screen off at 2 minutes)
any ideas, i have kept it at 120hz for now, but i paid for 144hz, i should be able to use it smile.gif

relevant system specs:
Win 10
core i7 2600k
EVGA GTX 980 SC
using the supplied DP cable
