Title: A yellow parallel line lies on my monitor
Post by: Sha on May 21, 2007, 09:45:57 PM

I just try to update my graphic card driver, but after i installed it, a yellow parallel line pop up on my screen, and it remains there even after i uninstalled the graphic card driver, i tried update my monitor's driver, didnt work either.  Anyone knows how i can fix this? is this mean my monitor is dead?  Can anyone could help me fix this problem! thx a lot!
PS: the yellow line even shows on the loading screen when i restart computer.

Montior: Viewsonic VX2025wm
Graphic card: Geforce 6800GS

try a different monitor, just to rule that out.

Always try to rule out the simplest things first...

"Newer" drivers aren't always the best drivers...try rolling back to the previous one. If the symptoms persist try the monitor on another machine to rule it out as the culprit...
