I have a Asus A8N-VM mobo running with AMD 3000+.I have a samsung SyncMaster 798plus Monitor.I have set the resolution to 1024 X 768 and refresh rate at 75 Hz.I had no problem for the first two days(new hardware),but soon my monitor starting flickering.I t happens only when you move the mouse or open sum application or type.
If u leave it still ..faint white lines at edges come at a interval of 5-8 sec.
The same happens at 72 Hz and 70 Hz.It does nt happen at 60 Hz but the faint whit lines continue.

reg. the refresh rates, for my monitor the max. it cud display at 1024*768 is only 60 Hz and no more. go to right click mouse -> properties -> settings -> advanced -> monitor and see if the "hide mode the monitor cannot display" is checked. then see under the drop down box the Hz values.. if there aint anything other than 60, then u got to use that only under ur resolution! if u get 60+ and stil getting the problem.. i thnk its a hardware prb and not a configuration problem... gl

whaaa!!! mine samsung 773s (17 inch) is set at 1024*768 at 85 hz refresh rate , no problem!!!

infact in the maual they said it to make 85 hz from 60 hz to reduce the strain on the eyes.

i think ur grphic driver is not installed properly or u are not using maximum hardware accelration for the graphic card.
