@Ayush it could be picking up magnetic interference - do you have any transformers plugged in near by? (eg mobile phone charger)
Posted by Ayush
No:-(

More description than just flickering please.
Do you have anything else to swap monitors?
Posted by Ayush
It is simply flickering since i switched it in the morning! I can't change monitors

Stupid question but you didn't say it: checked the cables, aren't they loose ?? Graphic card loose ?

Is it an old CRT monitor? as it sounds like a 'dry-joint' (bad solder connection breaks down after time)
Do you have a friend (male of course) that you can swap monitor with?
Posted by Ayush
It is a new sync master :-(
Posted by mince-inside
Swap to prove it’s the monitor and get it replaced under warranty

Thx

I think this may have already been covered in another post - but is the monitor's setting's in control panel set to 'interlaced' rather than 'non-interlaced'? Interlaced refreshing means that evey other line of pixels is refreshed first, then the lines that were missed out by the first 'refresh' are then done. Sorry for the rather poor explanation there, but that could be what's causing the monitor to flicker more. Also check that the refresh frequency - I believe anything above 70Hz is flicker-free. It's in Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced button>then the Monitor tab.
If it's none of this or any other settings on your computer, and you say it's a new monitor, take it back to the shop you got it from and get it swapped.

Thx wil chk it asap
Posted by Ayush
Yes yes yes! Its solved
Guess the extension cord console was the culprit..i think it has gone bad I made a direct connection and vioa a flicker free monitor.
Another thing: Has anybody of u been able to make the settings of ur monitor perfect? I.e. the pincushion, geometry (trapezoid, pin balance, etc.) Mine seems quite inperfect (disbalanced sort of ) if u know what i mean...
edit: it's started flickering again!!!!!!! Wtf is happening?? How cud this be? I constantly tried it

If your monitor gets damp it will knacker it, keep it as dry as possible. And keep it away from magnets, like speakers etc, as this will also knacker it.
