it has nothing to do with graphic card or either cpu.it maybe because of loose plugs or the most common thing which is the push switch witch turn on your monitor which is most probably located on your monitor might be loose and doesnt contact properly.

You can download ccleaner for free here: http://bit.ly/1Bk5V5C
First open CCleaner
Go to the Cleaner tab and you will be confronted by a very confusing lineup of checkboxes.
To make this brief, below is my recommended setup:
Under internet explorer check temporary internet files, cookies, and last download location. Most users don't really need this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a maybe, but you don't want to lose bookmarked sites. You can normally leave Windows Explorer, System, and Advanced alone.
Run CCleaner and it will start deleting files.
afterward it will present you with a list of the files deleted, you really don't need to go through it as it will be several pages long.
The registry cleaner is recommended for slightly more advanced users. Use it after uninstalling programs as they will often leave behind incorrect registry entries.
If you decide to run Registry cleaner then review the items detected and always back up the registry (I keep a folder aside for this)
The Tools tab lets you uninstall programs and set startup programs. Why do you need this if Windows has all of these features? Especially with Vista Home Ed. The windows defender software explorer( startup programs) doesn't pick up some entries (however software explorer is easier to use).
Using CCleaner to uninstall programs and then check for leftover registry entries takes less time.
Under Options you can determine how CCleaner cleans your files. I leave this alone.

if this is a desktop pc, try plugging your monitor into a different computer, maybe one at a friends house...
if it still flickers, the problem is with the monitor.
if you feel really brave, try re-soldering some spots in the monitor-
keep in mind a monitor can shock you even if it is not plugged in- like 30,000 volts or something....
the spots you would need to re-solder (just touch it and re-melt the solder) is on the small square backplane on the back of the tube, it works about 30% of the time....
do not mess around inside the monitor unless you know what you are doing, it is dangerous!
good luck

Highly unlikely it's your Graphic card. More likely your monitor is shorting, which is a very common problem. To be certain check it out on a friends computer and if you get the same take it along to your local repair shop. Shouldn't cost more than a few pounds/dollars.

Set the refresh rate to be the refresh rate the monitor takes. It does no good to refresh it faster. Your monitor might only need a 60Hz refresh rate. Go to screen settings [right click desktop > properties], advanced, then click on the monitor tab (for XP). Something similar should be for Vista.

does the computer turns off too? if not, it is not video card problem. does the power button of your monitor turns red when turning off? if yes, then there could be problem with power of your monitor. you might need to check the power cable. if it is ok, try using your monitor with another computer. if it's really not working properly, there's a problem with your monitor.

Loose connection probably...given the lack of information.

some wires attatching your computer to the screen, could be loose, or dodgy.
