Client flickers, can't minimize, will crash during champ select [client][crash]

The client will flicker at random times which causes a temporary lapse in screen action. Examples: if I am typing in chat and client flickers it will stop my typing and require me to re-click on the chat to begin typing again; while I'm selecting runes and masteries if the client flickers whatever selection I attempted to make will not go through; and the same will happen while selecting champions. However, if the flickering happens and I repeatedly click the client will keep flickering and crash. This can happen during champion select and not kick me out of the select. I have been kicked out of the champ select twice this way and both times logged back in to a reconnect message and entered the game. When I am in a game while playing in full screen mode I can no longer minimize. If I do minimize I cannot simply click the program on my dash because it will not let me in. If I try to right-click and select the game manually it gives me this message: (see attached screenshot)
The only way for me to get back into the game is to use task manager to force close the client then re-log. The reconnect button will appear sometimes before I force-close but the button does not work. I have tried playing in windowed and borderless modes and I can cycle through my windows using alt-tab. However, in these modes the game flickers just as it does in the client and will often cancel movement/attack clicks and ability key strokes. And also like the client, if I end up button mashing due to frustration the client will crash and force me to re-log. I can get all of these things to occur almost every time I open the client. I have repaired my client multiple times and even deleted and re-installed at one point. Nothing has fixed the issues.

Still no fix? this is really starting to be a problem and causes me to leave ranked champion select more often than normals because of the new season 6 update to the old teambuilder that used to be in league of legends we know spend more time in the champion select and have more interactions which cause the flicker, unexpected closing and queue dodging bans

Same thing happens for me, and I have to keep selecting mastery and rune pages, via opening drop menu and clicking a page, in champion select repeatedly before it finally allows me to select it for use. Please fix?

Edit: It now occasionally closes my client while in champion select, causing me to suffer the 5 to 15 minute wait period for abandoning a game. This is very frustrating, please fix!
