
Try changing the AGP Aperture size in your BIOS to another value - see the 'How can I change my AGP
Aperture size?' question.

Try using the registry key mentioned in the 'How can I enable AGP4X in the Detonator 5.16+ driver sets
on my VIA 133mhz chipset motherboard?' question with the 5.16+ drivers.

Try disabling the Windows startup logo by either using TweakUI (in the Boot tab, uncheck 'Display
splash screen while booting') or editing the c:\msdos.sys file (don't forget to turn off the read only
attribute first) and putting 'Logo=0' in the '[Options]' section.

Boot to Windows as normal, and once Windows is fully loaded, hold the left SHIFT key and click start,
shutdown, then restart. Once you see the message 'Windows is restarting...' you can let go of the SHIFT
key. You will now have the correct amount of video and texture memory and will be able to run the
64MB texture text in 3DMark2000 and you will be able to set the AGP aperture size to 256 without
crashing.
Unfortunately you will need to perform this step each time you boot up your PC. There is no other known
fix.

Make sure that your internal and external power cables are not too close to your GeForce and your
monitor signal cable.

It is possible that this problem only turns up after recovering from your monitor's power saving mode.
Try rebooting.

Try changing the 'Monitor timing' under 'Device Selection' / 'Device Adjustments' / 'Display Timing' in
the NVIDIA control panel to first GTF and then DMT.

Try changing the refresh rate - you may want to try just altering it by 1hz or so by setting up a custom
refresh rate to see if the problem goes away. See the 'How can I manually set refresh rates and force the
refresh rate above 60hz?' question for more details

Make sure that there are no electrical devices near your PC and monitor that may be causing interference.

Try manually adding the following switch to your pstrip.ini in PowerStrip 2.62+:
[Options]
ClkDeviation=n
where n is an integer between 5 and 1000. If set, the PowerStrip will post-process all mode changes in
search of a close, but hopefully more stable refresh rate. A lower n is more likely to reduce jitter but also
likely to vary more from the desired refresh rate. Try a value of 250 and work downwards until you
arrive at something suitable.
