Thumbnails and waveforms constantly flashing - almost unable to operate

Dear Adobe-Team:

What is this??

https://vimeo.com/246243945

Using Premiere Pro 2018 and our Thumbnails and Waveforms are constantly flickering/flashing.

Handling Premiere during this behavior is almost impossible, UI becomes quite unresponsive.

This behaviour starts and stops spontaneously.

Sometimes zooming wildly in and out helps, sometimes we have to restart the machine etc.

Up until my latest project, 2018 has been very stable but now I also am getting the flashing waveform. It seems fine for a while and the starts, restarting fixes it temporally. Perhaps some sort of memory leak?

and/or...

Reset Preferences.

Reset workspace.

Update or roll back a video driver

reinstall and Use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

See if that is any good.

Thank you Ann Bens!

will give those a try.

Are there recommendations on which video driver to use on a Win10 System with a Nvidia 980Ti?
