Monitor problems

That's the joy of intermittent faults - when you do something which might cure them, they go and hide until they've lulled you into a false sense of security.

Computers are like that.

the thread is back from the dead

it finally started again and i changed the wire connecting the monitor to the pc but it did not cure it.

what next? try and do something with my graphics drivers?

thanks

I think it's less likely to be drivers from the symptoms. I'd be inclined to remove and re-seat the graphics card as a next step.

okie dokie, i'll try that next. thanks rik. than will teach me to buy a packard bell

You might think that...

I had this once and new drivers for the monitor and graphics card cured mine, did them both together, so don't know which one worked. Good luck
