Hey, I need to know how to up the power to my video card. I have been experiencing game flicker and flashing for about three weeks now. I have tried everything that my friend and I can thing of ie. drivers, updates, stuff like that. I originally had a hurculies geforce2 mx. I went to their web site and they recomended to turn up the power to the card using the i/o settings or something like that. Anyway I said f*ck it and bought a geforce2 gts 64mb ddr card. I thought that this card would do the trick. .....But nnnooooo. The problem still happens. I have tried the card out on my friends computer (intel platform, I have a athlon platform) and it does the same thing. He has a geforce 256 ddr card. It does not flicker or flash. I also tried my mx card on his system and it to does it. Any way I think that my problem is the power but I don't know how to up it.

Have you considered installing a larger wattage power supply?

just wanted to see if that was actually the problem.
