I was called in to take a look at a 5 yr old Gateway Performance 600, P-III,
loaded w/ Windows 98se. I got the serial # and got the list from Gateway
for the original package. I went prepared and took a new video card thinking
it's probably the problem. It belongs to a 60 Yr old woman that doesn't really
use it much. But she does turn it on and leave it on all day.
The Monitor has strange lines (like horizontal bands of darker color).
I replaced the video card, no change. I tried 2 different monitors, still
the same. Oh, I brought it home and hooked it up to one of mine, it's
the same, so it's not electrical/magnetic field interference.
Any Ideas?
