HELP WTF!! is going on ?

[Shamus MacNoob]

Ok this is really weird I am sitting at the puter and poof my whole screen goes into one little line near the top of moniter ... it is approx 3-4 mm wide the line is ..... this has happened a few times but I dont seem to pinpoint a cause ie like a certain game in a certain place .... just happened and I was reading a web page... anyone have any ideas ??????

monitor making any wierd noises when this happens? like a errrr or a hum type noise?

 

[o0RaidR0o]

Sounds like...

...a video card or monitor issue to me. Try degaussing the monitor and reseating the video card. Also if you can borrow another monitor plug it in for a few days to see if it happens again. It would help to eliminate cause.

No noises at all no over heating , no foul smells from moniter or tower ... yes maybe if I use a diff moniter for a few days would allow me to find out if it is the moniter or the card ..... I will reseat the card ..... I am about to buy a new moniter anyways this one is getting a little old so maybe I should do that in a hurry huh!!
