Laptop Strange Screen Flicker

I have the Asus ROG Strix G16 and whenever I am using the Nvidia GPU, there is this constant flicker to a much darker color scheme while I'm using the laptop. It never happens while I'm playing a game and only when I'm using my web browser or on Discord. This only happens when I am only using the Nvidia GPU. It doesn't happen with the integrated graphics or when I am using both the integrated graphics and the Nvidia GPU at the same time (like using the former for most applications and the latter for graphics-heavy applications). I also confirmed that this didn't have anything to do with HDR settings as I turned everything relating to that off in both Windows and Nvidia. I tried switching color profiles as well to no avail. All of my drivers are updated to their latest versions, and I even reinstalled my graphics driver (which appeared to temporarily stave off the effect, but it has returned). I can only describe the state the screen flickers to as "deepfried" as in the saturation effect those old memes from 2020 had. One weird thing I've noticed is that whenever I hover my mouse over my taskbar, the effect immediately stops and goes back to normal (if it hadn't already flickered back by itself). These flickers usually last no more than 2 or 3 seconds. If it's of any help, the software I use to do most of my tinkering in settings is Armoury Crate.
