Hi all. I've got an older Dell Desktop Dimension 9200. A few months ago, I started getting lines appearing on the monitor... they would appear when opening up a new window and would move around when I would drag and drop the window, sometimes disappearing altogether and then reappearing.
I have a screenshot of the behavior at the following link: http://sdrv.ms/1e8hE8J
At first, I thought it was the monitor. But switching out the monitor and using one that works perfectly on another computer yielded the same result.
Next I thought it could be the video card (A NVidia GeForce 7300 LE running the latest drivers) but the issue would persist if I connected to the computer through TeamViewer.
I don't think it's a software issue as I did a clean install of Windows about a year ago and I don't use the computer for too much.... but you never know I guess.
So I'm left wondering what the issue is here. Is it a motherboard issue? Or is it a video card issue? Or software somewhere? Anyone have any ideas?
