I'm getting so tired of this and it hurts my eyes too. Every so often my screen starts to blink and it keeps doing that until I restart the computer, then it stops and then starts and then stops, starts. Way annoying. Any ideas on why it is doing this and how to fix it would be really great. Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like you need a new driver for your graphics card.Go to Control Panel/System,on the Hardware tab,select Device Manager,and look for any yellow !'s.

Come back with the info and we will help you get sorted out.

I do not see any yellow just a list of the devices.

Go back to Device Manager and find out which graphics card you have,then go to manufacturer's website and download a new dirver

where do i find out what kind of graphic card I have.

 

[rude]

Device Manager/Display Adapter

 

[bbyboop1977]

It says Intel(R) 82845g/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller.
Is that good or not.

I had a similar problem ages ago. Turned out that my settings were too high for my graphics card or monitor to handle. Until you find the drivers..
Try right clicking on desktop > properties > settings > advance > monitor and reduce the refresh rate Hz. If it continues, try knocking down your resolution a tad if you have it set high.

Went to look and it only goes to 60 hertz and it's all ready on that and doesn't go any lower. resolution is as low as it goes.

If you want to save your eyes, you need to RAISE the refresh rate to the highest setting you can, but make sure that there is a check in the box at "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display"

If your refresh rate was already on 60 hertz,that was your problem.

 

[bbyboop1977]

Okay I switched it to 85 hertz which is the highest it will go. Hopefully that will fix the problem. I hope anyway. Thanks rude

 

[bbyboop1977]

Well it didn't fix the problem. The screen still jumps.

Ok,it's driver time,go here:

This is supposed to identify your chipset and direct you to the driver you need.
