There are several possibilities:  It might be due to stress frm having to use 
a system that looks like shit and crashes on you every few hours, or you 
might need to increase the refresh rate on your monitor.  I had a lot of 
trouble with a certain display at my last job where the frequency of the 
monitor refresh beat against the 60Hz flicker from the flourescent lighting 
overhead.

At any rate, if using a system is making you sick, CHANGE IT.  Your health is 
*important*.
