Solve : Gateway Monitor?

Answer»

I just happened to catch the owner of the store that we ordered our computers from while he was looking at our server.

I showed him the black line, explained everything I had already done, and he mentioned that the video card might be faulty and might be leaving behind an artifact.  Of course I have no clue what that means, but I'm sure that you do.  Do you think that is a possibility?  

He said he would think on the situation and get back to me.  HMMMM......

Can you check the SYSTEM temperatures the moment this black line occurs to eliminate overheating?  
 
You can check the system temperatures in the BIOS. Reset the PC as soon as you see the black line and monitor the temperatures. (Usually under the PC health section)  


'Artifacting' is often caused by overheating. It CAUSES STRANGE visual effects to occur at random.

This is an onboard videocard. In which case your supplier will either have to add an entirely new videocard (expansion card) or he will have to replace the mainboard.


Has the PROBLEM reoccured yet? If yes;

Check to see what the system temperatures are and make certain all computer fans are properly operating.
