Monitor or Graphics Card?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Gday ppls,
Have been having a weird occurrence with my pc over the past few days.
After the pc has been on for a while a vertical column (top to bottom & approx 1/4 width of screen) on the screen starts to distort. Usually IT starts with the piCture distorting and droping away kinda like a rain fade effect, until it eventually goes one solid colour (generally black or green).
Restarting the pc straight away sometimes gets rid of it .. but a shutdown for 5-10 mins gets rid of it every time.
I noticed that my monitor (19" lcd - phillips 190b) was getting rather warmish so i have placed a small fan behind it which seems to help prevent the problem.
I'm pretty sure its me monitor thats on the way out as its about 4-5yrs old now and has had extensive use in a warmish room. Just wanting to get the opinion of others ... and of course i cant test another monitior as the only other one i have is an old CRT with no dvi inputs (which is all i have on the pc)
Also .. if i do a print screen it does not pick up the distortion
