Hi All,

First time I've posted on this forum so go easy on me. I've come up against a problem that is simply perplexing...

For the past 2 years my monitor has ran at its native resolution of 1680x1050. Last week I turned my computer on to find the screen artifacting when set at its native resolution. The maximum I can set it to without this happening is 1440x900.

Sys Specs:

MSI P67a-GD65 b3
I5 2500k
XFX HD6970
Corsair pc3-10700 16gb
Corsair AX750
Corsair F120 x 2
Windows 7 64 bit

What I have already tried:

1.) Tested monitor on other computer and confirmed it sets to native resolution;
2.) Clean install of display drivers;
3.) Reset CMOS;
4.) Updated motherboard bios;
5.) Full re-install of windows 7 (twice);
6.)Tried both new and old display drivers (CC Cleaner/driver sweeper before each install)

Please help,
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris, welcome to the forum. Just take it easy no one will bite you here. Now you have done everything you can, but did you tested your graphics card on another computer? or did you test it with "Prime95" or similar software? why I am telling this artefact can happen when your graphics card is going bad.
I think there's nothing wrong with your monitor, it's your GPU. So check it then please reply.

Hi Chris, I have seen your pic, it seems strange. The theory is if it is working fine on another computer then there's nothing wrong with the monitor, right. Do you have another GPU to test the computer in question? So I am still suspecting your GPU. Try it if you could, I am all ears. Bye.

Even if you do not have another gpu to test you can plug the monitor into the motherboard and use integrated graphics to test.
