annoying flicking of the dispaly during startup and during work with my win

[roise_r]

hi, i am having this really annoying problem with my display receantly, but unfortunately i dont remember for how long exactly, so i cannot guess from where could it come, i tried everything that sounds reasonable to couse it, but no luck... My display flickers (becoumes black for 1-2 seconds) occasionally when certain actions are made while working with windows, doing all kind of stuff, like deleting files, running properities on some file with Alt+Enter, running properities of the display, and during startup after the welcome screen. i cant tell exactly when does it flicker most, couse there is no pattern, it flickers when it likes... anyone any idea why could it be. My PC is AMD 3000+ 1GBram, GeForce6150 with latest display drivers 91.47forceware. 10x in advance

Monitors will often flicker during changes to resolution. This happens during start up and shutdown, as well as often during changes to display settings. Changes to the cards configuration (through the drivers) will cause it to re-sync with the monitor, which in turn makes it flicker. Alt+Enter could cause it if you are going to a fullscreen mode that is not the same as the desktop resolution, however deleting files and other normal operations should not cause this behaviour.

Has it always happened, or only since new drivers were put on ? Or has it just developed over time ? Hardware doesn't last forever. Maybe it is just going on the fritz.

The problematic computer is brand new, it is a work computer i do not own, there are at least 50 computers absolutely the same in this office, my workmate who is sitting in the other side of the table, has absolutely the same computer (harware & software), he is not expierincing any of this. i was asking around and i found other people are having the same problem with totally different hardware and software, old and new computers...? maybe every 10-th user I ask is expiericing this issue P.S. The flicker happens mostly when no resolution or refresh rate is changed, i tried changing the TFTs drivers but it is the same, even if i run it on default monitor driver @ 60hz, i am out of ideas...
