    NVIDIA 8300 on board and flickering


    Hello,

    I recently installed Win 7 Enterprise 64 bit on new setup and I'm quite happy with performance. I noticed however slight but quite annoying screen flickering, especially when reproducing dark shaded colours. It looks more like some interference, but I think it's not supposed to happen. I installed recent NVIDIA driver (191.07) but the problem persists.

    Here's my configuration:

    AMD Athlon II X2 250
    ASUS M4N78 PRO
    NVIDIA 8300 on board
    WD 15EADS
    Seasonic 430W
    Scythe Shuriken Big Cooler
    Silverstone Lascala LC17
    AOC LCD 17" Screen

    Any ideas for solving the issue?

    Thanx in advance

    Hi.

    I don't know about your monitor(s) but if they are dvi capable with a port for it, use dvi cable(s) to connect to the graphics card.

    monitor is connected via vga, TV screen (40" LCD) via HDMI which btw. displays no flickering. The monitor flickers regardless of TV screen on/off or HDMI connected/disconnected.

    That's some kind of interference then from the power lines or similar. Try to move power cords away or if the pc/monitor is very close to a wall, move away as a test.
    Move the monitor away from the pc more. If there are speakers close, move them away from the monitor.

    Set the refresh rate as high as the monitor will allow.
