I have short bursts of flickering lines showing up on my display at random intervals.

My display is a Viewsonic VA2248 and is connected via DVI-I > DisplayPort using an adapter, I tried using another cable via straight DVI-I and the same problem occured, could my monitor be dying?

I also updated my drivers to no avail.

Here is a video of the lines:

Try running monitor with different power source if you have one, or at least try different wall plug, preferably in different room (it could be a problem with power network interference).

Lines on the monitor COULD indicate a RAM problem. You could try re-seating the RAM and see if that has any affect. If that does/doesn't resolve the problem, I recommend running MemTest (http://www.memtest86.com/) overnight and seeing if any errors are discovered.

Another problem could be the seating of the GPU, try re-seating that as well.

Do you have any other ports on your GPU? It could be that the DVI-I port you're using is defective. I would recommend also trying out a different port on your graphics card.

Okay, I followed your advice and re-seated all my RAM, I also checked the GPU and ports, I also swapped my DVI-I to DisplayPort adapter to another port.

The problem is still there.

I will run memset overnight and return with results in 10-12 hours.

Thanks Luca.

I just hope that it catches something in the RAM.

I ran memset for 9 hours and not a single error was found.

I think my monitor is dying for sure now.
