A weird issue I have been having is a strange, annoying flicker in games. Seems totally random too. I have an LCD set to 60 hz refresh. Enabling V-sync or disableing it doesn't fix the issue. It is random. Rebooting does't help either. It has only happened a few times since I reformated last week.

I just played DiRT and Enemy Territory Quake Wars and they played fine. I exited the DiRT, came back an hour later to play and the screen is flashing and flickering like an old CRT with a low refresh rate, like seizure inducing flickering. Headache. No changes in between games, no reboots.

I go and try Quake Wars and the same thing. I try 3dMark06 it is still doing also. Never did before. I uninstalled my drivers on my ATI x1900 Crossfires (2) and reinstalled clean. Reboot, still flicking in all games.

Then I launch BF2 and no flickering. Play a minute, still great frames. I go back and immediately try both DiRT and ET and the is NO Flickering anymore. This happened with a couple of 3planesoft screensavers last week too. I can't figure it out, why it does it sometimes and then doesn't.

My PC is very cool. 15 degrees celcius cooled. Nothing is overclocked.
