Hi all
Just upgraded to a quad cpu so have a new motherboard as well(Abit ip35pro) and decided to install vista 64.
Now my display keeps either flickering or for a split second drops to 4 displays on the screen then back to normal, i have all the software upgrades and everything is fine apart from this.
Any help?
Thanks
Robert
btw Nvidia 7800gtx card
bump
need help on this one is it the card a driver or the motherboard?
Robert
Try new drivers for the GPU make sure there for vista 64.clean out all drivers with http://www.drivercleaner.net/index.php including the motherboard ones and start again.Quote:

try the card in a different pc if you possibly can, but this could be the card on it's way out.
it could also be that if you have upgraded your mobo & cpu and stuff, make sure your PSU has enough power.. not sure on power requirements for a quad core cpu, but i would have a guess that you would be requiring something in the region of 600W+
