About 2 hours ago my computer monitor started to flicker horizontally, at first only the bottom half and is now moving up. I tried to upgrade device drivers for both the monitor and video card but no success and I also tried to do a system restore in case it was a virus, also with no luck! It is a 1 1/2 year old dell flat screen monitor. do u know what is causin git? can it be fixed? or do I need a new monitor? :( Please help!!!

Is the cable properly seated? Is this a DVI or VGA connected monitor?

If VGA (as I suspect) and if your monitor graphics card support DVI, how does it behave with DVI used?

Does another monitor do the same?

It's all a process of elimination.
