Ack! What's wrong with my monitor?!?!?

[Gouki]

This just started this evening...I don't really know how to explain what it looks like, so just take a look at the attached image.

Never seen that before...what does it mean? Is my monitor gonna die soon?

*note* My first attempt at attaching the pic said it was too large...and when I resized it (using Paint) it chopped off a good portion of it rather then making the image smaller. Oh well...you can still see what the problem is.

I have no idea why cats would want to fight on your monitor










J/K IMO It looks like more of a video problem than a monitor problem. Did you recently change vid drivers or overclock your card?

[Telexen]

If we can see that, it's a video card problem

[Redwolf]

Unless of course you took a picture of your monitor. To me, it looks like a driver issue. What card do you have?

[Gouki]

My system is overclocked...but not my video card. I'm one of those fortunate ppl that has an Epox 8RDA+ board that locks the pci and agp buses.

Btw...here's my specs:

Athlon XP 1700+ @ 2.2Ghz on Epox 8RDA+
2 x 256mb of PC2700 Crucial memory
Radeon 9000 Pro 128mb

Yep, it's probably the video card or he driver. I've run into some cases like that...

[Gouki]

Something else I just noticed...and I should have mentioned this the first time around but when I look at the screen I either see very few of the pixels or none at all...yet when I do a screenshot, they're all over the place!

Well the first thing's i would try would be to reinstall the drivers and to re seat the video card.

Increasing your FSB also affects your video card doesn' it? As well as your sub-systems.

Yep increasing the FSB does increase the AGP speed, but if its an nforce2 motherboard I beleive it keeps the PCI/AGP speeds locked at whatever the normal operating speed is ment to be.
