Help please - This is doing my head in.
This week my display has started developing random small little blocks
of vertical coloured bars. If I refresh they disappear for a few seconds but then start spawning again. I have downloaded the latest ATI drivers, updated the Bios and reinstalled the Via AGP drivers and re-installed the monitor driver. System is:- ASUS A7V600 Mobo 512 PC3200 ram Radeon 9800 pro 128 Monitor LG Flatron L1811s Win XP pro. I have not installed anything new in the last few weeks, so I dont think it is caused by new games, but the latest games I did install about a month ago was Star Wars Galaxies and Neverwinter nights. But the problem only started in the last couple of days. Please put me out of my misery TIA John Clarke PS If you are seeing this twice. I apologise as the original message never appeared within 24 hours of this re-posting. - Shows how desperate I am. |

I have down loaded the latest ATI drivers, updated the Bios and reinstalled the Via AGP drivers and re-installed the monitor driver. Does this describe what is going on? http://tinyurl.com/2uemt If it is pixelation it is caused by either your graphics card or it's settings; or the monitor you are using and or heat. So is it hardware related. You do not say what settings you are using with your card. Is anti-aliasing turned on or off? It could also be a monitor which is on the way out. Test with another monitor and or upgrade your monitor drivers. Heat could be a problem .. you do not say you are overclocking but if you are, back off all settings for both your graphics card and or motherboard. regards @ndrew |

Maybe leave the side of the case off for a bit... make sure the fan on the card is working. |

But if you have an old vid card laying around why not install it and see if the problem goes away. It could be that your 9800Pro is having problems. I do that first before pulling out anymore of your hair. Then if it's still doing it, try using a different monitor. If you don't have another PC in your house, lug your rig over to a friends and they there's. This sounds like a hardware failure to me, so it shouldn't be to hard to track it down. Keep us posted OK?

JLC I had similar artifact problems with a GeForce Ti4200 and eventually no picture at all. I just replaced it with an ATI card and my computer works fine again. The Ti4200 looks like it has a poorly mounted voltage regulator that got too hot. The OP might consider a visual exam of his problem card. - Chuck |

try reseating it and check and see if the hardware monitor gives you
an indication that you have a PSU issue. "John Clarke" wrote in message om... This week my display has started developing random small little blocks of vertical coloured bars.
