More Information

first off, this is my work computer and is a POS if you ask me but Im trying to make the best of it... I just got a new 32" HDMI monitor (the second mnitor is a 19" LG) and video card to support it so Im running a ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO vid card

The problem Im having is a flicker in the screen when I turn the resalution all the way up (1920 x 1080) I refuse to turn it down any so I must make this work... Ive updated the driver for the vid card as well as the motherboard chip set and still have the flicker, the ATI support said to update BIOS ...
