What should I do if the monitor screen flickers?

Today it is hard to imagine the life of a modern person without using a computer and similar devices. But even the most high-quality and modern computer can sometimes fail, violating all the user's plans. In some cases, breakdowns are unimportant, that is, with which you can fully manage on your own, without the help of relevant specialists. One of these situations can be attributed to a simple malfunction, when the monitor screen flickers. In fact, there is nothing in this problem that could not be done without the intervention of specialists. Just not every user knows how to deal with this problem.

So, first of all it is necessary to perform such a simple operation as demagnetizing the monitor. Each monitor needs to perform this procedure with time, so every user should know it. To bring the monitor back to normal, you need to find on its dashboard a button such as "adjust the monitor screen" and go into it. In the corresponding menu, find the required command and perform demagnetization. This procedure is not complicated, so you will spend at most 2 minutes to complete it. But if after that the screen of the monitor flickers, then demagnetization here is absolutely nothing, and the problem needs to be looked elsewhere.

The second step to fix this problem is that you will need to change the refresh rate of the monitor screen. As a rule, the digital value of this quantity will need to be increased, although there are cases with a decrease in frequency. To do this, you will need to click on the desktop (in the free sector, that is, not on the shortcut) to right-click and select "Properties." Then select "Options" and click "Advanced" button below. From the appeared tabs select the tab "Monitor" and in the corresponding pop-up window - the desired frequency. In many cases, the monitor screen flickers Because the screen's refresh rate is too low. By the way, the higher the screen refresh rate, the less your eyes will get tired!

Another very simple way to eliminate flickering of the monitor is to carefully study the surrounding environment around the monitor and make a small rearrangement of objects that can cause electromagnetic fluctuation, and hence ripples on the monitor screen.

Now consider the option when your computer was exposed to a serious virus attack. This could happen accidentally or intentionally, but the effect of this can be quite significant and even deplorable for your computer. It is necessary to carefully check the computer for the presence of various programs that are popularly called viruses. Naturally, your antivirus must be updated to the latest date. As a rule, an antivirus program almost always finds several viruses that do not affect the operation of the system, but their presence is not necessary.

If after such a test the screen of the monitor still flickers, then there may be problems with the drivers of the video card. They could be obsolete or damaged, so they will not be able to perform their functions, which means they must either be reinstalled or restored. Of course, reinstalling will give you more guarantees that the system will work properly! Find and download the appropriate driver on the Internet specifically for your video card is not a problem now. Therefore, you can safely proceed to resuscitate the monitor.

We examined the main problems that cause the monitor to flicker. If after all that has been done above your monitor still continues to flicker, then you will have to turn to the help of specialists. Although, most likely, you still have to buy a new monitor.
