    Angry Constant Monitor Flicker. Would a cold room be the culprit.

    I always try to keep my room cold in the summer (i am a winter person). But ive noticed my monitor flicker is worse then and not as bad other times. Is blasting AC the problem?

    I have a NVIDIA 550 Ti 1GB card with monitors hooked up through VGA to DVI adapters. Asking a YouTube Computer Master (i will not say geek, cause i am also decent with computers) named BetaFlux who said the new RAM i installed could be pushing my PSU's limit (and MemTest86+ Bootable found 660 errors in 11 hours).

    Please respond, im starting to get headaches from this annoying bull****.

    And i know it's not a problem with the monitor, because i have 2 both flickering at the exact same rate.

    Hmm... I doubt new RAM would push a PSU over but still we live and learn... Can you post your system spec including PSU and I'll have a look see.

    im pretty sure my power supply is at 120v

    500GB HDD
    NVIDIA 550 Ti
    AMD Athlon II x4 630 2.8 GHz
    LG Super-Multi DVD-R drive
    8 GB RAM

    All connected to an MSI K9N6PGM2-V2 MoBo

    And it seems it had gone away when the temp got higher in my room. But now its back though i just started up.

    Hmm..120v doesn't sound right.. If you open the case and look on the side of the PSU you should be able to see a sticker stating it's spec. Look for something like 250-300W+.

    Well the only time it flickers is on startup (normal) and when my room is cold.

    Perhaps you have a loose connection somewhere? I'm thinking that when it's cold it perhaps doesn't fit together perfectly but once warmed up and expanded slightly the fit is perfect? Try checking all connections and fittings.

    That would make alot of sense being as it only flickers when cold and at startup, which is a normal thing, and the OSD never flickers.

    That's a good idea. Tomorrow when it's flickering I'd check each connection in turn and see if pushing any of the connectors together changes anything.
