This is a possible hardware misconfiguration problem, not able to be fixed with a ‘tune up’ software.

@BrionO23 if the PC is running slow, when they built the machine, did they use correctly matched RAM for the clock speed? If the RAM speed is rated lower than the clock speed, it will make the CPU slow down to match the RAM

I tend to agree that the monitor and drivers are mismatched. have you installed the monitor by manufacturer and model using their latest drivers?

Does the monitor still flash if you use the PC under a normal lightbulb environment?

As Limbo has already mentioned, monitors flash very quickly when they refresh, and so do fluerescent tubes. You may be getting a strobe effect from the tube/monitor combination. Could also be the fluerescent tube, needs changing.

I was also a bit concerned at the 1.87GB RAM, that seems an odd size.

Can you verify that you’re using the correct CPU in that motherboard given that it supports different socket types?

I think we get it. You want us to try your software. Good. Thanks for asking.

It’s very easy to handle and of course very powerful, my friends and I all use it now, maybe you can have a try.

pd: some options that I mentioned can have another name… I speak in spanish and have a spanish XP. greetings

You may be able to right click the desktop, choose Properties > Settings > Advanced > Monitor and set your monitor to a higher refresh rate to reduce the flashing. That is, if your video card supports a higher setting. Good luck.
