weird flashing colors

[stupid idiot]

It almost looks like fireworks, but I get many big splashes of colors.. pinks, whites, blues, greens, purples etc. that flash up on screen in a circle in a random location on the monitor, and go away. I can play with it.. it's def just a bit distracting though. It happens on the menu, in game, just not in loading screens though it seems.
At first I thought this was a driver issue. But after installing the newest ones, same issue.

I dont know where else to ask please help
Any ideas? I'm baffled, and googling flashing colors.. it usually only leads to dead pixel issues

Could be dead or stuck pixels.

unless soemthing in software is doing it. Really needs an expert to have a look t it.
How old is the monitor

If it only happens in the game, what does this have to do with Steam?

at first it was only overwatch 2, then it moved to pubg. also figured steam is used by PC players, maybe fellow PC players might know?

If you turn off the steam overlay for the affected games, do they still appear?
