I wonder if anyone has had this happening?

Been using an all-in-one Via C3 board with built-in everything. The cheapest I could find. It says 2000+ but actually runs at 7?? Mhz.

Everytime the CPU is busy, I get video noise. I can tell cos'
the fonts start flickering.

Is it just a crap board?

It could be an interference/shielding problem. You could try another monitor or move the monitor away from the motherboard. Also try to move the power supply away from the monitor.

You should also consider the cable runs inside the box. Try routing them around the perimeter.

humpty - exactly the same problem for me on the epia800. I have just accepted it, but I think faroutscience may have the answer. Let me know if you succeed in fixing the problem - thanks!
