« on: May 09, 2007, 12:00:34 PM »

Well my computer at home is receiving a similar problem to this in this picture I found.



Can anybody tell me what the h**l is going on, mine is much worse than that, I can barely see anything.

What happened before this started?
What monitor and video card do you have, and what OS?
Have you tried another monitor, or tried that monitor on another PC?
How old is the PC and monitor?
When was the PC last cleaned out?
And do you have unshielded speakers or other sources of interference near this monitor?
What kind of monitor is it?

We'll need info on the video card when you have it too.

Let us know about the video card. You can DLoad and run Everest Home for all that data.

What was the result with the monitor on another machine ? ?

You didn't use a vaccuum to clean the tower did you ? ?

I've encountered this issue in the past, and what I would suggest is to reseat your video by just taking it out and putting it back in again, and making sure it is screwed in tightly. You may also want to screw in the cord on your monitor securely to the back of the computer. And if it's a loose cord in the monitor, try jiggling it around a few times till you get a clear picture. Most likely, one of these solutions will clear it up.

DLoad a fresh copy of your video drivers from the manuf. site.
Uninstall the current drivers and re-boot. Windows will load generic drivers...enough to function at least.
Re-install the fresh drivers.

It should be as simple as a driver issue as the monitor performed normally on another machine...
