Hey all,

Recently in the past day or so I've been having an issue where when playing games my screen will flicker constantly. I can't explain exactly how it looks but it's beginning to bug me. This only happens when I'm in a game or menu screen. I've made sure I have the latest directx and checked all my cables are plugged in appropriately. I've also tried a different monitor and still no change, so that's out of the question. I'm also running 2 x ATI 5750 GFX Cards.

I'm just after some possible fixes if anyone has any advice for any screen flickering issues.

Cheers.

As stated in my initial post, I'm using two ATI Radeon 5750 Graphics cards linked through crossfire, the PC was built not too long ago so shouldn't be a hardware problem.

Still happening, I'll have to put up with it for now. Been trying to find the solution for hours today.
Thanks a lot for your effort mate.

That happens to me as well but I just update my graphics driver to the most recent one for my card and it works out in the end. Maybe uninstall and reinstall the drivers?

I'm not sure how this even worked but I took the side off the case and gave the ram sticks a wipe over and it's not flickering at all for the time being, just hope it stays like this.

This happened to me before, not sure if you are having the same thing, I used to use VGA and used to get like transparent wave flicker of some sort, I just changed to DVI and all was good, not sure if it is the same case though.
