Screen problems

Hi all

hope some of you techies can advise , I have a Dell flat screen monitor and every now and then , the screen flickers up and down quite violently , it only seems to do it when I open up internet explorer and its seems to be getting more regular

is this a fault with my screen or is a hardware problem with my system ?

it settles down after a few seconds

thanks RR

Can you try plugging in another monitor to see if there is the same problem. If not its the screen, if its the same problem its the graphics card

thanks for the helpful advice

I dont have a spare screen , maybe I can borrow one to test the problem

wouldnt suprise me if its the graphics card or the screen

dell pester you for weeks after buying trying to get you to take out there insurances

they do this cos they know they build there machines with every knowledge the things will go wrong

i have had it more than a year so dont think they will help

thanks again
