Nvidia 3d Vision randomly flashing right lens solved. My experience...
I had installed my 3d vision after doing a full rebuild of my PC, and typically, as most people would, I installed everything I needed as quickly as possible (utilities, etc), without doing stage testing (install stuff, test, install more stuff, test, etc).
Anyway, after a while I was ready to try the 3d vision with a couple of games, and was very pleased with the result. Everything went fine for a few days, and I had noticed that 3d vision was causing extra heat in the GPU (was a gtx 295 at the time), so I had downloaded a couple of monitoring utilities to keep an eye on temps. Over the next couple of days, I noticed the flashing right lens, and at first couldn't think what recent changes I had made to the system that would cause this.
So I started searching on the net for the solution or suggestions and came across a thread here (which I can no longer find) that was describing the problem. I remember in that thread (after 3 pages or so) someone had mentioned that they had solved it by removing or disabling temp and gpu monitoring apps. So it suddenly clicked that before I installed the monitoring utilities, I had no issues. Removed the utilities and hey presto, no more flashing. So it seems the polling of certain hardware components is somehow interrupting the lcd sync (which is logical I suppose) of the glasses.
So, I created this thread, with the descriptive title (for the benefit of the search engines), to put this info right out there. If you are having the flashing, it is probably your gpu monitoring utilities. Disable them. I assume that motherboard monitors (like ntune) may also be able to cause similar effects, but can't confirm for sure.
So there you have it, hope that helps others solve this annoying issue.

I just reinstalled 3D vision after a long time of not using it, and for the first time I had the right lense "strobing" effect...this did go away when I closed the EVGA preciscion monitoring tool, BUT it also went away when I moved the IR emmitter to a USB 2.0 port with monitoring on.
I never had this issue before with monitoring so I knew something else had to be a miss.
