he already has, there's like three different viewsonic with that resolution and they all have different refresh rates

that i don't know. I believe it's the refresh rate in the montior and not the os that's messing up.

might need to reset his monitors configurations or fix whatever it is in the monitor if it flickers during bios... because then it rules out the driver

what he is saying is, if it flickers in bios then it's not a driver issue. More likely then it would be the monitor itself. Have you tried a lower resolution?
