Another thread of same name. Must have deleted other one unintentionally.
SHADOW had suggested that I try moving computer and monitor to new location. Done...same problem.

Since new thread:
Monitor has wavy display. Same problem with new monitor. How do I check video/graphics card? I've tried running a test of card that I found on Internet, but it just ran for about 20 hours without any report.

guessing u have a CRT monitor

try an LCD if you have the spare money

but first... what is in or around your house that may emit electro-magnetic interference

and i dont thing you can troubleshoot your card without another card or running it through a game if its strong enough

Check your cable connecting between you monitor and keyboard , it might be bad, and only way to check the video card is with another video card.

Cable between monitor and keyboard? My computer is in between. What are you referring to?

No effect means I still have waves.
The monitor is fine. Tried a flat screen....same problem
Deguassing? Where is monitor options?
