Flickering monitor

Name: the1 2006-10-14 5:31

my monitor keeps flickering every so often. it'll start growing dim for a few seconds, then die. i'm pretty sure it has something to do with my computer itself, but i'm not sure what (tested the tv and av output sources, which worked fine). any suggestions on what to do? my friend suggested i update my drivers for my video card, or at the very least try unplugging/replugging the cables from my monitor to my pc

That could be a power supply issue - if your PSU is underpowered and/or overstressed, you can get strange issues like video cutting out and such (not enough power to keep the graphics card ticking over correctly). For things to start working again when not using your wireless NIC or not downloading via Bitcomet (i.e. using the hard disk and CPU), indicates anything that draws a little more power than idle is causing the side-effects.
