Screen Ever So Slightly Flickering...

[AcID ZeR0]

On the corner of my screen on the right the screen is ever so slightly flickering not so much for me to notice but it's rather worrying I've only just noticed it so I don't know how long it's been like it.
Does this mean my vid card is on it's way out?

What monitor?

[AcID ZeR0]

It's a standard 17" CRT monitor.

Have you Oc'ed your vid card at all?

[AcID ZeR0]

WTF I moved my speakers away from the PC screen and it stopped how can speakers make a screen flicker?

[kaiweiler]

not sure, but i'd be happy if i were you!
moving your speakers is a lot cheaper then buying a new monitor or vid card!! :lol:

[AcID ZeR0]

lol yea I suppose it is :D

[Virtualbody1234]

Your speakers aren't magnetically sheilded enough.

[AcID ZeR0]

Thanks, I guess I'll get some new speakers the ones I got now are only cheap ones anyway.

Magnets should be kept away from PCs altogeter.



How about I use a magnet to stick a floppy to my fridge? That way I won't forget it before going to work in the morning (important project). ;)

Hey, I was playing around with my electro magnet last week, so I thought I might stick it to my hard drive. My PC doesn't work now, do I have a virus?
