Hi,
I was browsing the forums to see if anyone was experiencing an issue similar to mine, but I was unable to find one quite like it.
I recently purchased a new system along with a Visiontek Radeon 4850. It works great in my dual monitor setup and everything looks great. I am just having a problem where the screen will flicker almost like a strobe light. It happens only when the monitors have automatically turned off and I am prompted for my windows user/pass. After I successfully enter the password and get to my desktop, both screens immediately being flickering to the point where i have to look away because it makes me dizzy. Another "funny" thing is that it seems that the longer the monitors are "asleep," the longer the flickering occurs. For example, I just stepped away and it only flickered for like 3 seconds. However, when I came to the PC after I woke up this morning and logged in, it was flickering for almost 1 minute. After it's done, everything is fine again but I fear that one day it's not going to stop. I have the latest drivers installed and would not dare touch anything that deals with overclocking. I would appreciate any help on this matter.
My specs are below:
Q660 Intel Quad 2.4
2 gb Patriot PC1200
Gigabyte P45-DS3R
Visiontek HD4850
Thanks,
Joe
