Uninstalled and updated all drivers and done windows updates.

This should be the page you're looking for. Can't grantee that updating your chipset drivers will help with the flicker, but I have heard people saying it did.
What motherboard are you using ?
Also, if you were to open up your task manager, click the 'performance' tab. Do you notice the GPU usage spiking/increasing when you start playback on VLC or is it just the CPU that spikes ?
