Hey guys!




Problem : My mom says the monitor on her pc is flickering.
What have you tried?
She thinks it might be the monitor, so I switched it out with an extra
PC Spec's 
CPU: AMD Phenom X4 955 BE
GPU: ATI HD 4770
RAM: Generic RAM 4 GB
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-3dph or something
PSU: Corsair 600W
HDD: Iunno. 2 500GBs in RAID 0

 

 

As stated above, she said the screen was flickering, so I switched out monitors.

If it continues flickering, my next thought would be GPU. So, IDK. What do you guys think?

 

Need more info? Ask!

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Your gpu is artifacting?

I haven't seen the flickers, but I guess it's possible. She also said sometimes it will go all white or all black.

Ok.. Yeah.. That is either the graphics or the core clock. Happened to me. :)

Try to use MSI Afterburner and down clock the core clock to 100 below your current MHz core clock. Example: From 900 to 800

Try that.

Update us back if the issue was resolved

I can't do it now seeing as it's 2 AM. That computer has never been overclocked. Not even once, so I don't see how that would help. Especially because all it's really used for is internet browsing and word processing.

I never said it was overclocked.

You implied it was.

 

 

ATM, I am using her monitor, I switched her monitor with my auxiliary and I have seen nothing of this flickering yet
