Flickering monitor

[meredog]

i began getting a flickering accross my monitor screen yesterdday (most noticable on white screen). Is there a way to determine if it is the monitor or something else? i reset monitor to 85 hertz but it made no difference.
it is a T4170 e machine and a 19" Envisision monitor (both about 3 years old)

bear with me trying to figure out how this works Herb

how about a response here?

I would suggest that you try the monitor on another system, Then you would know whether it is the monitor that`s faulty.

thought of that , was just hopeing there might be a way to check it without going thru that.
thanks

Possibly borrowing a monitor from a friend and trying it on your system???

There`s not many ways to test a monitor other than what I`ve suggested.

85 Hz is really high, You should not get flicker above 60Hz.
Maybe you're getting some electrical inteference?

electrical intefeirence is really what it looks like but nothing has changed or been rearranged in months
