  • Well, then it can't be the video card drivers. The screen is half good/bad during start up before it even boots up into Windows.

    I suppose it's more likely to be the video card going bad than the monitor then since it's only affecting half of the screen.

    • Would be nice if you had another screen to plug in. That would narrow it down.

      • I have a dual-monitor setup, Bim. The 2nd monitor is connected through a dvi cable, and it's not having any problems.

        I ran Dell's "lcd conditioning" program on the monitor that's for getting rid of image retention. It's cleared it up for now, but like I said it comes and goes.

        • I would tend to think the monitor is your issue then. If it is coming from the video card I would think that running the Dell monitor routine would not clear it up.

          • It's just such a weird issue with it only affecting half the screen.

            • Yes, I am going to guess and say that it has something to do with the screens internal flux capacitors.

              • Well hell, why didn't I think of that in the first place. Thanks Bim! ;)

                • Sure! The advice is worth exactly what you paid for it, but I really think it points to the monitor.

                  • Well, it's fine again for the moment. I guess I'll just keep my eye on it.

                                Not sure if this will shed any light on what the problem is, but here's a screenshot.



                                I appreciate the help guys.
                                Are you sure it's not just a hellmouth forming out of your moniter?
