Graphics or monitopr problem
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I built my computer about 4 years ago; everything has been working fine but over the last month or so the display has got 'shaky'. The problem seems to be getting worse. It is like horizontal lines across screen, screen jittery.
I asked a local PC repair shop, they thought it was classic signs of the TFT monitor decaying. I bought a new monitor but problem just the same, if not worse as new monitor is wider screen. Also is very jittery when I can hear hard drive or processor being accessed. Just in case overheating problem I have thoroughly cleaned inside case and components and checked graphics card connection and turned up case fan but still no difference. Is this a sign of graphics card breaking down? Any other ideas.

Ram 2No Crucial 512Mb
Hard drive Seagate Barracuda 7200

Previous monitor LG Studio Works 560LS

I would go for a new PC. If it is just for office applications then all you really need is integrated graphics (IGP). But it is a good idea to make sure it has a PCI-e 16x port just in case you want a more powerful GPU for things like graphic applications or as a backup in case the IGP fails.
The Dell Inspiron 530 is a good start (I would get the 518 since I prefer black cases):
