Later on I did some testing. I opened the media files that were giving me issue on my windows pc, on my mac pro 1,1 (8800GT, X1900xt) and all the files played back correctly without any of the flicker in resolve.

Next I took off the sli bridge, video still flickers
Then I Took out a video card, same result.
Then I Installed my 8800gt from my mac in to my pc, Same result.
Next I re installed windows and ran my system with the two 560 gtx without the SLI Bridge, Same result.

I did find a solution. But let me explain.

All of the video files that flickered were shot using either a Canon 7D or a 60D, but I used Dual eyes to sync the audio. The difference between dual eyes and Plural eyes is that Dual eyes will create a new video file with the synced audio embedded in the new video track, where as plural eyes will sync the audio and video in side of an NLE and not touch the original file.

So all of the clips that flickered were processed from dual eyes.

I fixed the issue by re-linking the media in resolve with the original source media that was not processed by dual eyes.

But, as I mentioned this only happened on the PC, the Mac version worked flawlessly with the dual eyes processed footage.

Finally, I did have a few clips exhibit the flickering that originated from the uncompressed 422 8 bit codec in the quicktime container.
