Hello,
I tried posting this question under "Graphics and Displays" with no replies, so I thought I would try here. My displays have recently started flickering under most conditions of usage. I haven't made any changes to my system. When I click the mouse or scroll on Chrome or IE, play a game, type a message on facebook etc. I have three LG1952 monitors connected as eyefinity to two Sapphire Radeon 5870 video cards connected as crossfire. I have tried re-installing/upgrading the video drivers, and disconnecting each video card and trying one at a time to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. Up to this point I have never had any video problems with my system.

Does the 'flickering' persist while running a 3D application?

If you are not running at the default clock rates, try turning off OCing. On my 5770, my 2nd display glitches like crazy when the OC option is enabled even when my OC settings are the same as normal rates. Oddly enough, the problem goes away while running 3D programs.
