Hi Guys, nope no fluorescent light and it looks like I'll have to try
and swap over my card to see what happens as a couple of you
suggested, at least it will rule that out, sods law though I gave away
an old graphics card only two weeks ago! Argh, typical sod or Murphy
spitting in my eye again. I'll nick one out of another desktop and see
what occurs, if it is that it wont be too expensive as I only use the
desktop in question as a kinda of server anyway and it doesn't really
need a high quality card for it, might be able to grab something good
on eBay for 10 or 20 quid. If its not the card I'll go back to your
suggestion kony of the power supply, not sure how much they cost but
shouldnt be too much hopefully, what am I bet though I'll end up
replacing everything but the faulty part!


Try plugging in or unplugging some parts to vary the load on
the power supply (like a hard drive, if possible to do so
and still boot windows... if you have another drive to add
or one you'd unplug isn't the only HDD in the system), then
with the different load, see if the size or frequency of the
disturbance on-screen changes. However, if the card is
going bad, in theory a change in PSU load could still effect
it, instead of guaranteeing the PSU was to blame.

Unless it is actually the driver which I thought id eliminated but
perhaps not again, right ill sort that out next...

It is not likely to be the driver.

Hi guys Im still waiting for my new card to be delivered, the old card
is totally busted now as the screen is just a mess, I'll try out the
different load idea when the new card arrive, fingers crossed Ill get
to the bottom of it.
Have a good new year and thanks for all your help its been much
appreciated!

Hi Guys just to let you know the new card seems to have sorted out all
my woes, Thanks again!

Hello I hope someone can help me I have a problem with a CRT monitor,

the edges, the whole screen is actually a little wobbly and if you are

The monitor is going bad.
