Lower Screen Flickering on my HD 5850!!

[manasdeore]

I have a HD 5850 and have been using it with a VGA cable (using a VGA to DVI converter on the GPU end). A few months back my dad bought me a cheap DVI cable and when I played games, scrolled through the browser etc I would see this annoying lower screen flickering!! Thought it was due to the cheap quality cable but yesterday I bought an expensive 24K gold plated DVI cable and am still getting that flickering problem!! I tried both the DVI ports on my GPU but no success so far!! 

 

I even found a youtube video showing the same problem on another card though.

 

 

Please assist me!!

what is your refresh rate? set it to the max (60hz i guess)

 

edit: just saw the video. you tried it with a different monitor? yours might aswell be dead or something.

[manasdeore]

Yes I did. And my refresh rate is 60Hz..

No results yet!!

All I can say is to check if it does it with a different monitor. Also, if you can try ports other than the DVI on your graphics card, that may yield different results.

 

If it still does and your drivers are up to date, you best replace your GPU. (RMA if you can).
