What drivers are you running? Did you buy the PC from a manufacturer or build it yourself?

Check the following if is applies:

 

Make sure you are using shielded speakers

 

Make sure your battery back up/external hard drive/USB powered coffee maker, is nowhere near the monitor

 

If using DVI converter dongles, make sure it is not the culprit. A defective one drove me nuts with my old FX1100.

 

Are they CRT's?

 

If so, check to make sure the refresh rate is set to the highest (ie: 85hz or above)

 

If they are LCD's, make sure the refresh rates are set to the manufacturer's suggested setting. Make sure you are using the recommended resolution as well.

 

Hope this helps.

i dont no what you mean by drivers sorry but it was a custom built system from the manufacturer.

go download gpu-z.

 

Run the app. near the bottom it will tell you the driver version you are running. I want to make sure you have the newest driver out there.

 

BTW, what graphics card are you running?

our newer ones with the 1700 were doing the same with the supplies drivers, i believe we just updated them to the latest from the nvidia website and that went away.

 

(Along with fixing some issues we were having with various video codecs)
