You could try a program to lock the refresh rate. Or it may
be related to the in game resolution you're running.

Check the dislaimer of the following program. It can hurt
your monitor.

not 100% this is what you need:

You can try using the refresh rate override option in the nVidia driver
control panel. You need to edit the registry adding or changing this
dword entry in order to enable it:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak

NvCplDisableRefreshRatePage = 0

Then set your refresh rates for 1024x768. I don't know if this works
still, I have a DVI monitor, can only do 60 Hz.
