I just now put a little time aside to work on this issue that has been troubling me for weeks now. The bottom 5% of the screen keeps on twitching especially when I'm using chrome.

 

Below I have mega.co.nz link to a video I shot with my phone as a visual aid.

 

I'm running two monitors right now, a Samsung 20" TV and a LG 22M35A 22".

 

LG -> dvi to vga adapter

SAMSUNG -> micro displayport to hdmi

 

My GPU and the rest of my build can be seen in my signature below, and yes all my drivers are up to date.

 

Fixes I've tried:

 

-Changing the refresh rate

-Jiggling the cable

-Disconnecting one of the two for a little while

if it's only the bottom of your screen i guess it could be a bad connector in one of your cables?

just guessing tough.

Restore the monitor to its factory settings. If it doesnt work ground yourself first and take out the GPU blow out any dust and put it back together.

 

Resetting it to factory settings didn't help, I'll try and dust out the GPU in second and get back to you.

Have you tried just changing the cables around maybe taking the VGA adaptor out of the equation and using DVI to DVI ?

 

I don't think I'd be using an adaptor if there was a DVI slot on my monitor.
