As soon as I hit the power button on my computer the screen will automatically start flickering. By that I mean it will blink repeatedly nonstop!!!! I can barely see whats on the screen.
However, if I boot up with the monitor turned off and leave it turned off long enough for the computer to reach the log-in stage the blinking does not happen (well, 9 out of 10 times).
I've tried changing the refresh rate... I get the choice of 60, 65 or 72. But changing these does nothing to abait the flickering.
I've updated my drivers for my monitor (Compaq F1523) and for my graphics card nVidia GeForce 5200. All of which have proved to be of no use.
I have no way of testing out another monitor or mine on another machine ATM sadly.
I'm no computer whizz when it comes to these things but know bits and pieces so any help would be most appreciated as it is driving me crazy...
