    Hi,
    I felt that my onboard video card was bad so I changed my motherboard. That board was DOA so I put back my original board....and the screen was bright and clear. When I looked under add and remove programs my video card now was listed, unlike before. When I went to display settings it listed my video card, whereas before it listed default monitor. I was happy to say the least. However after 5 minutes everything was like before--Flickering screen, only default monitor listed under display setting and no video card listed under add/remove. I turned the computer off and on and everything was perfect for 5 minutes. This cycle keeps happening.
    What do you think is the problem????
