Do you have a fluorescent lamp next to it? Sometimes the transformer will affect the monitor.

Do you know what refresh rate the video card is set to? Rates lower than 60Hz will appear to flicker.

It would be good to know your specs as bailey is suggesting, it is usually the first thing we would ask for in reply to an answer. it is only so we can help you overcome your problem a lot faster than without knowing the informaiton
What make/model is the monitor? The model may have history of problems
