So I have these lines on my screen and I don't know what caused them. One day I started it up and this is what is I saw.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the video card drivers, but that didn't work. I tried to replace the monitor with an extra, and still the same problem. I have a picture of this, but it will not let me upload it. Those who would like to see it, please email me and I will email you a copy...

Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks

Justin
If you switched it out with another monitor and you still got the same thing, it's obviously a video card problem.

What kind of card is this?

actually, full system specs would help out alot.

are these just a few lines that show up in one constant spot on the screen? or do they take up the whole screen? are they moving or stationary?

a little more detail would go a long WAY.Also...if you could EDIT the image...you may be ABLE to post the one you're trying to upload to the forum.

I'm not sure what the restrictions are to image size...but you could also post the image at "photobucket" and leave a link...this way we could see exactly what you're referring to.Never thought about photobucket. Included is a picture of what it looks like. There are lines that follow the cursor at times and then they just go away. How exactly do I do the full specs? Thanks for the replies.

JustinYeah that looks like a vid card problem definately...I had a old S3 ViRGE a while back where someone had placed a memory module in backwards and FRIED it, and it displayer those kinds of characteristics, so get your Graphics card RAM tested....Gfx card specs...right click desktop >> Properties >> settings >> Advanced >> Adaptor New video card in order i do belive
