I think its a common problem. I had a similar issue when screen would flicker with dark backgrounds.

its a easy fix this is what i did and it worked fine after.

Open the nvidia control panel, then adjust desktop size and position and hit full screen

Then go to change resolution -> Customize -> Create Custom resolution -> Type 67 in refresh rate

and select it on the list after, then right click desktop > Screen Resolution > Advanced Settings > Monitor Tab > Screen Refresh Rate > put in 67hz

try that and see if it works.

I did that and it didn't change a thing

Someone please try going to this site then scrolling up and down quickly: http://www.station-drivers.com/page/intel%20chipset.htm

Also, does increasing the refresh rate to 67 hurt the Screen?

It shouldn't, because the refresh rate that nVidia sets is what is reported to Windows! The card still runs at a 60 Hz internal time-base for the update. It simply fakes a higher frequency for parity with faking out certain impossible resolutions. It is helpful for testing, but nothing more.

Definitely flickers! 😞 It is because of the white+grey striping. It has to do with frequencies interfering. Let me explain:
1) Everything that oscillates has an effective frequency. In this case, the frequency is the rate at which the white bands change to grey on a particular row of pixels.
2) Screens have a frequency at which they update...in this case 60 Hz
3) Frequencies can interfere...sometimes with disastrous results.
4) When the frequency of oscillation of the color of a row of pixels approximately matches (+/- 5 Hz) that of the screen update rate, then the pattern of updating the pixels will cause what looks to be flickering.
5) The shorter the height of the bands (fewer rows of pixels), the higher the frequency of oscillation for a given scrolling speed. Thus, it is easy to hit ~60 Hz when spinning the mouse wheel.

Hope this helps! Nothing is wrong with your computer...something is wrong with the website design. :cool:

Wow!! What an educated explanation! Thanks bro!

I am glad it isn't my screen that was broke at least you confirmed that!

Cheers man! Its only that site that has this problem anyway so it's not a big deal 🙂

Thanks! Glad to hear that it cleared up the issue! If it bothers you, I would contact their webmaster and see what can be done. Flickering can give some people headaches.

Sounds complex, but not really :D...same principle as to why car wheels can appear to spin backwards depending on the size of the tire and the speed of the car...really wierd-looking, but fun to watch! 🙂

It was/is probably a video driver issue, not a hardware problem. If the LCD controller was having issues (unlikely), everything would be flickering...and you would get a headache 😉
