Guys,

My monitor has started flickering like mad, I've changed no settings and I've even put an identical monitor in its place and still the same problem...........what things might it be worth checking in the PC to eliminate the flickering as my eyes were really sore off it yesterday.......

Check that your monitor supports the resolution that you have it set at. And also check the refesh rate :)

dunk,

how would I check the refresh rate and what should it be set at???

Check to see if theres a sticker on the back of the monitor. It should say something like 50~60Hz. If not, check the manual or post the model so we can look it up for you.

Then go into the Control Panel, Display Options, Settings and adjust the Display frequency accordingly.

Assuming Windows of course ;)

HTH :)

Eh? the 50-60 hz is the mains ac frequency that the monitor can take. Has no connection with the monitor refresh rate. For that you have to look in the manual.

Er . . . yeah, just testing :rolleyes:

Manual it is then :D

best thing for you to do is boot up in safe mode
then adjust your res in properties there :)
then re-boot and move it up a notch at a time to get the desired res without screen mashing up :)
