Monitor flickers and dimms

[EviLBoX]

I'm new to the forum and I hope you guys can help me with my problem.

I just upgraded my computer with an Asus A7V266-E, and Athlon 1800 XP, and 256 MB of Corsair DDR ram. My video card is a Gainward GeForceII set at 100 refresh rate and I'm using the Detonator 27.50 drivers. My monitor is a Sony Multiscan E200. I've noticed ever since I upgraded, when I click on something or start typing my screen very faintly dims or flickers ever so slightly. Also, whenever there's animation on a webpage the monitor is kind of shakey or it flickers really fast near that area. I have tried several different video drivers and it still does it. Anyone have any ideas?

is your card overclocked?
why not try droping your refresh rate to 75

Nope, nothing is overclocked right now. I've tried several different refresh rates and it still does it.

I personally think that it could be the AGP slot on the mobo.
Try a different Vcard if possible.

What directX version are you using?

 

[EviLBoX]

I was using 8.0, I just upgraded to 8.1 and it still does it.

That kills my first idea. When you swithced boards and chips did you do a clean install or a dirty one?

 

[EviLBoX]

I did a clean install.

I'm leaning toward a hardware problem now, I've tried so many different drivers and settings without success. I'll try a different video card later today to see if that works, then a different monitor.

Several other boards have offered some advice also, but none of it worked. One mentioned that my 5 volt might be low, it is 4.87-4.89, but I don't see how that could effect it, it's really not that low. Someone also suggested I had too many things plugged into my power strip along with my montior, but after unplugging everything around it, that didn't fix it.

That kills my second idea. When you try a different card I suggest you try both an AGP and PCI, that way you should be able to figure out if it's the card or the slot.

when the monitor is flickering, if you close it and open it again does it still flicker?

My 19" proview does the same thing
When it wants to anyway, bright, dark, fuzzy, clear
If u figure it out let me know

I used it on my old comp, did it,, built a new comp, used it on thats and still does it, so its the monitor it self
