Flickering Monitors?

Posted by michael on from the instant-headache dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Our SB Office runs a small 2 Server network with 4 workstations in the LAN, each connected to a dedicated APC Surge protector. The building has a backup power generator thus we didn't see the need for a UPS. For some odd reason all our monitors flicker a lot. We've tried everything from changing resolutions/refresh rates/video cards/monitors and spacing the monitors farther apart from each other - all to no avail. Could this be a building power supply problem? Some have suggested there may be some magnetic interference but visually inspecting the surroundings doesn't leave us with a culprit for the cause. Could this be fixed by the simple addition of a good UPS? Any help, tip or information would be gladly appreciated. Thank you."
