I have a DELL Inspiron 8600 Laptop with an ATI Radeo 9600 Pro Turbo video card with Windows XP Professional and I'm wondering if anyone here has had the same problem as me or can help with my problem.
For the last few weeks for some reason I've had a bunch of weird horizontal lines appear all over my computer display. They always come and go no matter what programs or how many programs I have running and they only appear after I've logged in (they don't appear at the BIOS screen or anything pre-login).
I've only just now gotten the time to fully investigate the problem
This is what my desktop looks like most of the time:
I have already called Dell about this and the person there who helped me had me uninstall all video drivers from the computer and then reinstall new ones for my video card from support.dell.com.
Even after that however the horizontal lines still appear.
Do you think this may be a problem with the video card itself or the monitor? What are the chances that I might have to get one or both replaced?
