Monitor flickering
The monitor keeps turning on and off, i can't think of anything to fix it.
-I unpluged it an pluged it back.
-I turned the PSU off and on.
-I turned off the power bar and back on.
-Nothing.

Thoughts?

The most common cause for such problem is a faulty or slow cable.

You can test for cable's bandwidth by temporarily lowering to 1080p and 60Hz only. If it stops flickering then you will know where to look from there.

It's a DP port cable. I'm pretty sure it's good.
But yeah, it could be damaged.

does it say no signal?
that would be bad cable

does the monitors power light change?

if none of that, it can be bad backlight leds in the monitor
use the monitors osd menu, and turn backlight/brightness down to 50-75%
if that stops then it is a bad led in the backlight

for most new backlight strips are cheap on ebay/amazon, but replacing can be tricky, look up vids on yt/ifixit for that exact monitor
