Flicker at Startup.

Out of nowhere, when I turn my computer on, everything is fine, until after I enter my password. It loads, and when it goes to the desktop, it flickers for about a second then stops. Everything thereafter runs smooth as it should.

I don't think anything is wrong, but I would really like to know what would cause this out of nowhere. I played some games, nothing. I watched some youtube, nothing. I did everything I normally do and nothing, but now, completely out of nowhere, whenever it loads my desktop after booting, bam.

Ideas?

By the way, I hope this is the right sub forum. I assumed it is as it may be a display thing, but please forgive me if it is not.

Lotharian,

I had something similar happen to me on a ProView flat panel monitor hooked up to a pc that I put together myself. I found out that it was (in my case) a bad VGA cable.

Hope that helps,
