Ok, now here's the scoop. I went out of town and turned off my PC (which is usually on 24/7) last weekend. When I came back I tried to boot it up and instead of the nice white Asus on dark blue background, I get all these vertical lines and funky characters all over my screen. I freaked out and clicked it off and tried again. Again I got the same thing, but I notice the colors look white and blue, but just all vertical lines with jibberish on the screen. I then proceeded to reseat EVERYTHING (memory, video card, sound card, hard drive connections, power connections, etc). Still I could get it up. I tried a different monitor, same thing. Finally after maybe 60 reboots FINALLY I got it to post where I could read the ASUS splash screen and it booted up fine. I have had ZERO problems since it was up, even playing 3d games (which is why I think its not the video card). . . no artifacts, no slow down NOTHING. A few days later I decided to move my PC from under the desk to the side of the desk, and when I connected everthing back up. . . guess what? More vertical lines and gabage. After many reboots its back up again, and its been running fine since then, running 24/7. Anyone have any ideas of what may be going on? I'm leaning towards a bad power supply, but before I spend some money I wanna hear what others think. Thanks!
