Black lines/bars all over the screen

TheRedFox · Apr 25, 2014

Hey there dear reader . So ... recently i bought a new pc , a weak one(not enough money to buy a good one... and still i'm ok with it) I bought the case and everything that's in it, but i haven't changed the monitor,keyboard,mouse etc. and now i have a problem:

Black lines on all 4 sides of my screen ~2 mm ...

Why I mentioned the pc is new? Because i didn't have this issue with my old ati card. My specs are (tell me if you need something more):

graphics card : msi geforce 630gt 2gb ddr3
monitor: viewsonic VA1912w

P.S. I'm not a pro in this stuff,but i'll try to give you as much info as possible .Thank you for taking time on reading this or even helping solving ,I appreciate any help now .And sorry for my bad english , still have to work on it

What do you mean by black lines? Like just a black border around your screen?

TheRedFox · Apr 26, 2014

theadler :

yes- black lines surrounding desktop, windows, but i never saw those in games...

What is your resolution set at? Set it at 1440x900 and see if the black goes away.

TheRedFox · Apr 26, 2014

theadler :

The bad thing is - it is set to 1400x900 (maximum)
I tryed changing it - it's same result for ~all resolutions

If you connect the monitor to another pc, is it the same?

theadler · Apr 26, 2014

Also, is it connected directly to the graphics card or through an adapter?

TheRedFox · Apr 26, 2014

theadler :

It was connected to a Ati Radeon x1050 before i changed the pc , and i didn't have the problem back then.

And the monitor is connected directly.

Enter the On Screen Menu of your monitor. Use the Auto Image Adjust.

TheRedFox · Apr 26, 2014

theadler :

nope

I even tryed manual adjust , result : Image just goes under the lines

theadler · Apr 26, 2014

Do you have another cable you can try?

TheRedFox · Apr 26, 2014

theadler :

Not really, but i'll try to find it.

theadler · Apr 26, 2014

Did you try the Memory Recall in the monitor as well?

TheRedFox · Apr 26, 2014

theadler :

Not really , as i don't know what it is. Can it change any settings, and can i bring back old settings in that case?

theadler · Apr 26, 2014

It's on the monitor, not the computer. It changes any settings you may have made in the monitor back to the factory presets/defaults.

TheRedFox · Apr 26, 2014

theadler :

Nope, still with the lines

theadler · Apr 26, 2014

Well, you can try to use the Overscan option in the Nvidia Control Panel. I don't know if that would work, but it's worth a try. If that doesn't do it, then I'm out of ideas.

TheRedFox · Apr 26, 2014

theadler :

idk what it did , but the memory recall changed my screens brightness, and now it's not bright even with full brightness/contrast.

theadler · Apr 26, 2014

go into color adjustment and choose sRGB. or 9300K.

TheRedFox · Apr 26, 2014

theadler :

It gives me blue-coloured screen on 9300k and on srgb it gives minimum brightness (which i can't edit :/)

theadler · Apr 26, 2014

Try the others, see if it will get your brightness back to a level where you can adjust it where you need it.

TheRedFox · Apr 26, 2014

theadler :

tryed all, none of them fixes it

TheRedFox · Apr 27, 2014

theadler :

It didn't help, and still thanks for trying to help me out.
