Same thing here...and occasional lines on the screen as well. I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue but I know it wasn't like that before i tried 7rc
i upgraded from vista home premium on iq506. Now i get what looks like screen flickers or hits about every 10 seconds... i reloaded the video driver, refreshed resolution, etc. no avail, then encountered a long shutdown and start up process. any ideas? thanks

nah man. I'm sure it's hardware related. Best Buy says it's not even worth fixing. I'm just going to use it for s little while longer and find something else. This is my second or 3 rd Hp that goes about 2 years then craps out.
Just updated to Win7 ove the weekend, I get the flicker about every 10-15 seconds. I have tried updating nvidia drivers, however when I try to install the latest driver 186.81 it claims I am running a 32 bit uninstaller on a 64 bit system, then says Set up detected that the operating systems in use is now Windows vista/7 64 bit ???????

I finally resolved it by installing the Vista driver. My machine hung during the installation but all has been well since.
