What power adapter are you using, the 65-Watt barrel plug type for the DC port or a USB-C charger, what is the model and power (Watt) of the USB-C charger?
Try this: Boot to Safe Mode: In Windows keep the Shift key pressed down while clicking on Restart in Power-Start on the taskbar. Click on Restart in the Advanced Menu and 4 or F4 (Safe Mode). If no flickering, you need to uninstall the display driver with DDU in Safe Mode and just reboot.

Alternatively, "Reset this PC" without losing your files option, type Reset in Search and select the option "without losing my files"
