Screen monitor flashing

[john123]

I don't know why...sometimes my screen flashing since i reinstall windows vista and installed the new driver for vista. My video card is 7950 GT 512MB...is there a problem with my video card or something?

Try completely removing the driver and re-installing it, see if that makes any difference.

Did you get the driver from nvidia's website?

[john123]

yes...the driver is from the manufacturer website....BFG. I'll do like u said. Hope its gonna work. Thanks wise monkey.

Try downloading the driver straight from the nVidia website before installing the BFG version - nvidia are the company that design the chipset, BFG just modify it how they see fit e.g. overclocking, different cooling etc.

Go to this website to download the official drivers - you have a Geforce 7 series graphics card:

oh i just realize that its the driver from nvidia.com. I forgot to tell u that i got an error message...it said that the video is not receiving enough power( i pluged in all the power cable already.) Still flashing...but not all the time. So do i still try to reinstall the driver ? I didnt try it because its the driver from nvidia.

Hmm, that could be the problem - what power supply do you have? Is the 6-pin adapter plugged securely into the graphics card?

[john123]

i have a 600w power supply. The 6-pin adapter already plugged securely into the graphic card.

[The Wise Monkey]

That should be enough, so I'm tempted to think it is a driver issue again.

Try removing and re-installing the driver.

i've tried remove then install the driver. It worked. Thanks a lot!

No problem, glad it is now sorted. :)
