fuzzy display and goes blank.

This is my second monitor,that has done this,i have just had it replaced under warranty,its better but the problem is still there,when i use a HDMI to DVI cable the screen keeps going blank,and when i use VGA cable the screen stays on but is fuzzy.

I have a quad boot system with xp,vista32 and vista 64,all with different drivers for my 2 gtx260's,one of them has no display driver and it is still fuzzy.

I've tried two monitors,3 cables,many graphix drivers,and swapping my gtx260's around but no go.

The only thing i can think of is maybe interferance,but i've owned this system for two years and this is a fairly new problem.

Any ideas???:sa:


new problem,now my monitor goes blank after about 10 mins and stays off,the power light is still on.

Um, it's not a video card problem, of course. It is a problem with the monitor then. Just go replace it.

Even when one of your OSes is not using the graphics card, you are getting the fuzzy screen. So surely, the monitor's doing it.

Do you live in a too cold place, or are there any magnetic things around the screen?

Check your resolution and other settings on the monitor.

Try to use the monitor that your cmputer flickers on, on anoter computer, and if that monitor still flickers on another computer, then you have t replace your monitor, if it works without flickering, then it is gpu problem (simple troubleshooting mechanics).

Yeah i tried that,and still bad,i'm on my 3rd wrarranty monitor,and i found the problem,its my logitech speakers,when i plugged my 3rd monitor in the monitor was buzzing so i was sure it was interferance,i unplugged my pc speakers and that fixed it sort of,it has permanently damaged it.It is still usable by the slight fuzz is still there.The speakers killed the 2nd monitor in less than a week.

Probably monitor's problem (thats my hunch).

But three different monitors?

If the monitors still flicker on another computer with a known working gpu, then i think its a monitor problem

Are the monitors close to a power source or magnet?
The speakers may cause a problem, however I have speakers infront of my monitors and have never had a problem.
