    I've noticed since updated to SP2 (this just may be a coincidence), that my screen has been flickering. I'm using the latest Omega drivers, and currently not overclocking anything (video or CPU). screen flickers not off, but from bright to slightly dimmer and back. Called tech support, and they just had me reboot in VGA mode, which did stop it until next reboot. any clues?

    Mmmm.... have you thought about rolling back to the 0F05.P00 BIOS? Might be worth a shot. Here's a link to a BIOS website that you probably already have...
