Slight "hiccup" (momentary flicker) on monitor
I have two games - NBA Jam and Ms Pacman - both plugged into the same basic powertap and they're both experiencing an intermittent issue. During play, the monitors on both machines seems to "hiccup" occasionally. That is, the image seems to breathe to a smaller size then immediately back to normal. It's just a second long. There's no artifacting or anything else wrong, just the hiccup. It'll do this occasionally, and when it happens, it occurs about every 20-30 seconds.
I did some searching and found other people with similar problems, but nothing exactly like this. It seems to be a simple issue and once related to power. Since it's happening on both machines, I'm wondering if it's not a power supply thing but perhaps fluctuations in the wall outlet.
I was thinking of getting a better surge protector, one with EMI filtering and the like. Has anyone had a similar issue or got results with a similar solution?
