I work in Korea and have been having serious probelms with my monitor flickering intermittently. This happened with my old CRT. I got an LCD. Worked fine. Now it flickers. My old PSU died within 9 months and I bought a new one. My old motherboard had the CMOS fry twice. Now I have a new one. This is all since early 2007.
It is all at the same apartment. Currently, my 26" LCD is flickering intermittently. The computer techs said it was the monitor. I called Samsung and they fixed it. But it flickered again and now it is in the shop. I guess we will see.
Communication is difficult and always through 3rd parties. But no one seems to know why my monitor flickers very persistently sometimes, and then at other times is fine.
I have always been at the same location and I am thinking I should just rule out the power as a culprit. My stuff is plugged directly into the outlet - always has been.
Finding a line conditioner is hell here and they seem to have power bars or UPS only. So perhaps, even though I don't care about the battery, I may need a UPS to get the clean power I need.
But which UPS? I have a 1000 watt Zalman PSU and a 9800GX2 vid card + a 26" LCD. am I really going to need a 1200-1300 watt UPS because that will cost huge money. APC brands seem available. Any idea which will do the line conditioning job well, for the least amount of money? Again, I dont care if the battery lasts long - I just want the power regulation. I'm prepared to go to ~$500 but I don't want to spend ~$700+
