Hi, my screen is flickering fairly in the bottom right corner even when at 85 hrz. Is this just the moniter dieing or is it related to my gpu? It is a asus 7600gs stock speeds. It idles around 58ish when it used to idle at 50ish during winter. Ut is only a few months old, so i rwaly hope it has to do with the moniter. It is only noticable when im not playing games though, usally only when im surfing the web and stuff like that. Ay help will be great, thanks.

Most likely your monitor, do you have access to another one to try?

If it's a CRT try pressing the 'Degauss' button if there is one or it might be on an internal menu, if it's an LCD make sure there are no magnets ie external speakers near that side of your moniter.

Good answer with the degauss button. CRTs are considerably more sensitive to magnets than LCD. Hence the degauss button to neutralize the magnetic field.

Whatever I do, my CRT always flickers a bit in the top-right and bottom-left corners. I've noticed certain resolutions minimized the flickering. 1200x900@85hz is the best for me.

Also, make sure you don't have a strong electromagnetic source near that corner, like a fan or electric motor. It could end up making that corner green and burned out if its strong enough.

I have a large fan around 2 feet about 2 feet below it, a computer a foot beside it, another computer 2 feet below and to the right aswell as 5.1 speakers suronding my compter. Would this or a few power bars beside it effect it? It seems to have stoped though, thanks.

Most speakers are shielded nowadays but that fan could be the culprit. When you get a magnet near your screen you will notice it! Basically you will SEE the magnetic field affecting the electrons responsible for creating the image. It will look like an oilspot on your screen. When you use a powerfull magnet you can permanently magnetize a metal screen inside the monitor which in turn will permanently affect electron direction which will mess up the picture pretty good. Try moving things further away from your screen starting with that fan. Another possibility is that the fan uses the same outlet as your monitor and causes noise on the power line. Once you turn the fan off it should be gone.
