Solve : Old HP Pavillion 8775c Video Card problem?? |
|
Answer» I just BOUGHT a new Hanns-G JC199d monitor because I thought my old CRT was going dark...come to find out the same problem exist on the new LCD. I am guessing video card...the problem is horizontal shadowing for instance the blue forum blocks shadow all the way to the end of the monitor. Computer is all stock except ungraded to XP and 384 memory. If you made no hardware or software changes prior to this, it is a video adapter problem. Are you using an onboard one or one that is in an expansion slot? Does it do this in safe mode as well?sorry very old slow computer...yes it happens in safe mode as well...I can not say that after certain software was install it started...no new hardware has been INSTALLED...sorry for not answering the question in full the first timeSure looks like a failing video card to me, especially after hearing it is doing this in safe-mode and on 2 different monitors. Unless you have hopes of playing awesome games I'm sure you can fix this for small amount of money. Like the GX man says, you should physically look inside to ensure you have an AGP slot so people can recommend a new card to you.computer is open and it does have a agp slot...dont do any gaming just surfing and video...any recommendations on an inexpensive agp card?This one would likely do the job for $25 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1010677&CatId=0 It can even handle DVD movies and it has TV out like your current rig has. It's not going to turn your computer into any kind of gaming machine though, like I said I am sure others will have other suggestions with some sound reasoning so keep checking back.will it matter if it is VGA or DVI?Does your new LCD monitor support both? If so you really don't have to worry about buying a video card with DVI for an older computer. DVI becomes important when you run at much HIGHER resolutions then likely your monitor or computer could handle right now. Now, if you decide to REPLACE your computer and your monitor has both DVI and VGA then on your new computer definately look for it to have a DVI port. But on your current system, it is really not gonna matter if you go with the VGA port or the DVI port.says it has vga and dvi inputs and sxga resolutionWell you are likely using the VGA cable style connection right now. It looks like this: http://support.axiolearning.org/images/kyc/desktop/vga.jpg And the card I suggested to you also uses that style of connection. |
