snyper Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 At work we have a pc based security cctv system, each of the two pc's were upgraded to a terabyte of memory last year. One of the screens has a flicker, the width of the screen at the top about 2" thick. Were were told this was a problem with the HD..is this possible??? Thanks.

Kaidiir Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 HDs causing screen flickering..? :unsure: I've never heard of that happening before. My best guess would be that your video card is unhappy in some way...but then again computers are known to do some strange stuff :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthalzen Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Well, I had a problem with my Hard Drive when I capture videos, and frames keep dropping randomly. But I never heard it can cause flicker. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farchord Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Good question animal... i checked it flickers on desktop mode too...but if i log into word or anything else...no flicker??! Try to change the refresh rate. 75Hz normally does the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEX4S Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 could be video card/ motherboard chipset drivers...it doesnt flicker on .doc because thats a simple 2 or 3 color job.... if those video codecs are corrupted - they will do weird things to your screen...

mikee286 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 is the video card on this system a card or is it integrated on the mobo? if it's integrated other parts in the computer can often cause interferance with the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
