black flickering lines.

Just bought the cataclysm hellscream bundle from OC, arrived on 23rd december and ive been noticing some dark flickering lines on games and game menu's, especially if they are darker in colour. The lines seem to move upwards and almost look like ripples in water. They dont effect the performance of the games as far as i can tell, its just annoying more than anything.

I have the latest drivers installed from nvidia website.

Any1 heard of a similar problem?

System spec is i5 overclocked at 4ghz, gtx460 4GB RAM.

Thankyou

Don't know what could be causing this, but i would suggest getting in touch with OCUK before you start tinkering, as this may invalidate your warranty.

Try enabling vsync to limit the refresh rate to 60fps.

Try a different monitor if possible, just to rule it out

definitely sounds monitor fault if lines are moving.
Since its a pre-built bundle you bought (typically monitor not included), im guessing you're using the same monitor you had on your old system. Was it working fully then?
