Monitor Flickering Problem

[mt2568]

Hey all-

I'm having a bit of monitor trouble and was wondering if anyone can help me out.

I have a viewsonic E90-f 19 inch CRT monitor which I bought about 3 months ago. Every once in a while the screen (especially the lower right hand corner) will flicker uncontrollably - usually this problem seems to go away by itself but not it has been doing it for a while. I have tried degaussing the monitor and reinstalling video drivers and monitor drivers (ing file) and checking connections but nothing seems to work. The only way I can get to stop flickering is to run it 60 as opposed to 70 or 75 hertz. 60 hertz is a really crappy refresh rate though so I would really like to be able to restore it to 75 - anyone have suggestions?

And what resolution would we be talking about with this monitor?

1280 by 1024 but it flickers now at any rez - technically its more of a vibration then flicker

Does not sound like emi but have you ruled out any nearby electrical equipment, speakers? Also I would try plugging the monitor into a different outlet.

i have a 400 watt sound system but i have tried plugging it and unplugging it - even put the monitor on its own separate plug but im still getting the shaking
