peppergomez Veteran Registered: 05/21/02 Posts: 14234	Screenis flickering this sicklygrren color. I made sure everything was plugged in properly, and removed and reseated my graphics card. Also turned off amd overdrive. None of this resulted in any improvement. Any other things i can try? _________________________ Mobo ASUS MAXIMUS IV EXTREME (REV 3.0) Memory CORSAIR XMS3 8GB DDR3 GPU 2 EVGA 680 FTW 4GB CPU Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz) Drives 2 HITACHI Deskstar 3TB 2 Crucial 256 GB SSD Displays 3 HP ZR30w 30" monitors UPS Cyberpower PP2200SW PSU Antec High Current Pro HCP-1200 1200W Case COOLER MASTER CM Storm Trooper Drive LITE-ON Black 12X Blu-ray CPU cooler Noctua 6 Dual Heatpipe Fans COOLER MASTER SickleFlow 120 OS Windows 7 Premium

If none of this works then it could well be fried. I had funny colours once and it was the plug come loose but you have checked that. _________________________ IL2, FSX, ROF, SOW, Cliffs of Dover...

Raw Kryptonite Beat the Kobayashi Maru Hotshot Registered: 04/04/08 Posts: 9527 Loc: MS	With the flickering, I'd think card, but if it's dropping a color it could be the monitor. Does the mobo have onboard video to test against? _________________________ •XBL/Steam/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite MWO: Defcon Won •Logitech G27 Nixim •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo

KublaKhan Member Registered: 10/08/07 Posts: 304 Loc: KY - USA	Take a screenshot of desktop when it artifacts. If the screenshot shows the artifacts, its your GPU. If it doesn't its the monitor. _________________________ "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." - Sun-Tzu

SkateZilla Skate Zilla HD Studios Veteran Registered: 11/24/04 Posts: 12030 Loc: Virginia Beach, VA	my old ATI AIW 9600XT card did this because the cable had a worn spot, screen would randomly have a light bluish gren tint, and flicker between normal color and this tint. handling the cable either provoked the tint or helped remove it for the time being. _________________________ Skate Zilla William B.
