Graphics flickering glitch (brand new laptop)

I recently got my frameworks 16 laptop (<1 month ago) and i noticed this glitchy flickering. Upon further investigation, the flickering generally is as long as the window it occupies (though it’s not limited to windows and has occurred on the taskbar). I’ve attached a video of the flickering.

I’ve cleaned the gold pins on the ram with 91% isopropyl alcohol and a glasses cleaning cloth (since i’ve seen similar flickering caused by ram issues on the internet). It’s likely not a software issue, as when i connected a monitor and mirrored my screen, as the flickering was occurring on the laptop, it wasn’t there on the monitor. I found that the easiest way to cause the flickering to come is by spam-right-clicking a friend on the steam friends window, yet it also almost always occurs whenever i shutdown/restart the computer (in the transition to and from the screen that says “shutting down”, it hasn’t ever happened in bios).

System specifications:

OS: Linux Nobara 42 (sha256 sum matches whats shown on the website so it’s probably not corrupted)

Cpu: AMD 7 7840 HS

Ram: DDR5-5600-32GB (2x16GB)

Storage: WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe 1TB M.2 2280, no secondary storage

Expansion bay shell (no graphics module)

Power adapter

(sorry for low quality gif I had to compress it a lot to be under 10mb)

I experienced the same issue with fedora, I believe it’s an OS issue because I saw no flickering on Ubuntu and Arch.

This thread holds the awsener, set a debug mask, ask gemeni how to implement this permanently and for a step by step process, it took me through using this method to fix the same issue.

you will need to put this in part of the display grub file, gemeni ai will run you through it well
