Default screen flickering

My problem is that my screen always flickers on the same PC...even though i've tried much to change the screen but the problem is the same "flickering".

I changed the refresh rate or actually the "frequency", i've made it 85 Hertz .That helped a little but there's still some flickers from time to time.

what could it be?
thanks

Probably the power supply, is your PC in a location subject to a large amount of vibration, like a vehicle or factory?

Hmmm..someone has mentioned me to a power supply problem and also to the age of the screen itself so if it were old, that would be normal to have some filckers.
Anyway concerning power, could it be from the powersupply itlself which is located in the case of PC , or the main electrical power supply?!
My screen isn't subjected to vibration at all,it's on the table.

Just to be clear - is your monitor plugged directly into the mains, or does it run through the PC's power supply? If the monitor draws power through the PC, chances are the PC's PSU is damaged. This would be consistent with the freezing and voltage issues you noted in another thread.

The screen takes power from the case power supply not from the mains
what's then?

It makes no difference, it only feeds mains directly across the two sockets!.

How old is the monitor? Do other monitors show the same behavior when connected to that PC?

i only see one solution.

its the video adapter, or you may call it display adapter (VGA card, etc,..) it need to be changed. (you may try to switch its place on the mother board.. however i dont expact this to solve the problem)

Perhapps your eye are very good at seeing fast chainging things. Try changing the refresh rate to 100Hz

monitor frequency cannot be changed to whatever value you like... The monitor nees to support it...

The various causes of flicker on my screen are
1. If I keep my 60Hz transformer nearby.
2. If a cell Phone is ringing...

However, there is no interference from the nearby laser printer which is less then 6inches away from the monitor. Did you try the screen with other computers? Try shifting the location of your computer away and switching off devices near by.
