Im not at all good with computers so i'm asking for anyone help who may know why it keeps flashing. It flashes for a second every few minutes. OW AND IM NOT SURE WHAT A PROCESSOR IS SO I PUT N FORCE 2, THINKING THAT IS THE NAME AS THE IS WHAT IS ON MY BAX. LOL.

"It flashes for a second every few minutes. "

Try swapping the monitor. If that doesn't help, try swapping the video card.

It might also be a power supply issue where not enough power is being provided to the system.
