Flickering screen display

Flickering on the screen can be caused by defective hardware in the computer or by improperly installed software, but it can also be caused by interference from external devices. The following examples describe situations in which your screen could start flickering:

Screen starts flickering because of interference caused by devices which generate magnetic fields, for instance:
- a TV set
- a laser printer
- another monitor
- fluorescent lights
- hidden power lines
Apart from interference, an incorrect setting in your system CMOS setup can also cause flickering. On some systems it is possible to distinguish between interlaced and non-interlaced monitors. The setup of your system should always be colour non-interlaced.
Proximity to the monitor of fans, air-conditioning units or other devices with rotating motors.
The number of devices using power from the same electrical line. Are you overloading the plug?
Monitor placed on an unstable surface.
Improper video drivers, this is a software problem, see section B
