i cleaned the graphics cards heatsink and the fan is working and has been yet the screen blotches. Harddrive is booting seems like windows is working in the background, could it be the monitor?

have you taken the video card out of the slot and reinserted it fully? is the monitor cable all the way into the plugin(could try undoing and redoing this)? have you tried booting in safe mode(would restore default resolution and may work)?

[suprafreak6]

how do i boot in safemode? like what do i push during boot screen
as for taking it out i have done (so i could clean fan and heatsink) i have taken the monitor cable out.

I was thinking to try another monitor and another slot, because my mobo has 2 pci x16 slots, so could it be the slot thats causing problems? as someone has said already

ok i started in safe mode, and the icons and fonts lookfine, but the background and such are being abnormal, there are lines and break lines in the background.
What should i do while in safe mode?

device manager and everest shows no problems in hardware.

its either a heat condition on the vid card or your agp slot took a shit (prolly a heat condition on the vid card)...........my agp slot took a shit which means.....motherboard death by smashing with a hammer

Nothing like trying to cheer the guy up ay microsoul?

nothing u can do i jsut thought that maybe the screen coldnt handle the resolution so in default settings it would correct itself. since it didnt i would swap the card to the 2nd pci slot, and if that doesnt work try a new monitor. otherwise it sounds like ur vid card is messing up.

Maybe it's the monitor? Did you rig another computer to it?
