Hi all who are smarter then me. All of a sudden my computer desk top seems to want to flicker every few seconds. I ran all my scans, did the CCleaner, defraged. What do you think I did to cause this? I can still do everything, cept if I want to type in somthing inthe search, when it flickers, it dissappears. Any help would be appreciated.

All mine do it and I think it is a power surge on mine....as I see the electric lights do the same when it does it. Have you noticed lights doing it too?

also make sure your computer or laptop is not close to a florescent light, that can cause it to flicker.

I have seen people use one of those little desktop florescent lights and it drove them nuts trying to figure out why their monitor was flickering..

I had my cell phone laying beside mine one time and it made it go wonky

Weird. Well, good, glad it's nothing serious. It's not doing it this morning, but I did put my cell out on the dining room table. I don't have a florecent light in here, so it had to be my phone. Thanks everyone!!!!!
