undefinedundefinedundefinedGreetings everyone, I'm having a sporatic problem with my monitor flickering. It doesn't do it all the time, so far it's only when I play either Sims 2 or EQ 2. Someone advised me to check the refresh rate on the games vs the refresh rate on my computer. I have a nvida (sp?) 5700, my refresh rate has always been set at 60 but when I went in to check it the other day it says default is 100. I don't think my system is overclocked....I'm not that much into hardware and don't mess with that stuff. It's a Gateway, maxed on RAM at 512. So my question is...is this a graphic card problem or is my monitor going...oh yeah...monitor is about 2-3 yrs old, graphic card about 6 months old.
