Hello i have been searching the web for a couple months to try to find a way to solve this problem. My system specs are as follows
Pentium 4 2Gigahurtz
512 Ram
Nvidia Geforce 4 440se gfx card
I just recently reformatted and put in a new motherboard...
The occurs whenever i am playing any steam based games ie counter-strike or Day of Defeat and also at random times when im using my computer such as opening windows explorer and going to google or when typing in my password when logging onto my computer. I have tried a different gfx card and the problem still persists and i dont want to put down another 200$ for a new monitor unless i really have to. My monitor is a P92 6557 03n 19" Ibm monitor. I run it at 60 hz in 1280/1024 resolution so my refresh rate shouldnt be a problem i do overclock it when playing cs but to a managable rate... (at 800/600 it can run at 144 hz without trouble) and i only run it at 100. I have seen many people complaining about this same problem and no real answers and id like to know first if anyone has experienced this before and second if they have any fixes that might actually work. Ive heard it might be a power issue or a chord issue and ive checked all of my chords running from the computer to the wall monitor to wall and computer to monitor making me think that thats not the problem. Ive also just reset all my bios settings and then double checked to make sure all power saving features on my computer have been turned off please help me... thanks
