Hi "hardware gurus",
It seems that my monitor has gone bad... anyone with such unpleasant experiences out there? Here's the symptoms:
1) horizontal bands; darker where the opened windows are dark and lighter where they are light.
2) Boot into Windows, same symptoms.
3) Changing settings didn't help.
4) Rebooting neither, nor shuting down for hours.
Could it be my video card? I wish... it would be cheaper!
What's it like in a console (e.g. <Ctrl><Alt><F2>) or the BIOS screen? Check that the video card in seated correctly andd that the monitor lead is secure (make sure that there isn't a bent pin). Can you test with an alternative monitor? M
