Monitor refresh rate stuck at 0Mhz

Hello..

I am new to arch and just got my GUI (e17) up and running.. but the screen keeps blinking on and off. When i go to the screen settings, it says i can only have the refresh rate at 0Mhz. I tried changing it in GNOME as well and i had the same problem.

Using:
nv video driver.
$#!+ computer.

Thanks in advance!

What video card do you have? Use nouveau instead.
