Usually this is the motherboard BIOS not properly handing control to the Videocard BIOS during POST. (Power On System Test)
This can be easily verified by installing the components in a different PC. The Video card, memory and Hard drive will all work fine.
There are other causes for this problem, but they are rare. Things like, certain non PnP compliant monitors, defective "power good" circuitry in the power supply (signal appears way too early),(The test for this problem is to, push the reset button. Did it now boot properly?), and bad PnP firmware in the BIOS.
I have had to change several BIOSs recently. This problem used to be very rare, but is now becomming more common.
You also can take advantage of the warranty on the motherboard, but you will have to show the other components (Video card, memory, and hard disk) are good first.
i would try chaging the mother board because of the flickering the board is shorted out if that doesnt work try unplugging the hole system and putting it back together
