Hiya Hexus, my stepfather's PC causes the monitor to flicker, similar to when you look at a video of a monitor through your phone camera and it looks like it's alternating between brightness levels, most obviously when dark colours are being displayed. This behaviour continues in safe mode too, he's using windows 7 64bit.
I've tried 3 monitors on the PC, 2 were old square Dell flatscreen things (flicker less obvious), one was an 18.5" LCD Packard Bell widescreen (1366 x 768, flicker extremely obvious) and all connect through VGA. None of the monitors exhibit this behaviour when connected to my PC (AMD HD 6950) or my brother's laptop (crappy intel core duo with integrated graphics).
The motherboard in his PC is an asus m5a78l-m lx3 and he is running an Athlon x2 processor with no dedicated GPU. I have tried pretty much everything I can think of (updating drivers etc) besides buying him a cheap graphics card which I am going to try tomorrow but before doing this I thought it might be worth seeing if anyone here has any suggestions.
Thanks guys.
