Ok first off. I have a 17 inch monitor about 4-5 years old. It was from gateway and is a vivitron 700 model if that means anything to anyone.
Problem one: I don't know if this is a driver issue or what, but whenever I run a game, or something that switches to full screen mode and am running in 32 bit mode, I get these strange lines that go across the screen, more like lines where nothing is projected and not actual lines. Similar to when you have your refresh rate set way too low or something, but I don't think that it is a refresh rate issue. I have a Geforce 3 and have been running the newest official drivers but have had this issue with other drivers also.
Problem 2: whenever I completely shut down my computer for a while and then boot it up, I get all kinds of crazy lines all over the place for a couple minutes until it warms up. Is this a sign the monitor is going bad or something else? It does appear to be worse when it is colder outside, since my monitor is very close to a window and my house is cool in general. Thanks for the help
