    It could be your VGA cable. Perhaps one of the pins is broken in a connector or a wire has broken or something. You could try a different cable and see if the problem is still there. Or maybe the cable's just a bit loose, see if you can plug it in a bit more firmly.

    poke around on those buttons on the monitor, you should have somewhere in those options, a degauss option. of google for your monitor manufactur and how to degauss it.

    it might help you out, and it looks pretty cool.
     
  4. magnets are not the only force that causes gauss.......

    be one with the gauss.....

    I once serviced a tech call on this - turned out the guy really was on drugs.

    Seems slightly appropriate for this forum hehe
     
  6. I would love to hear that call.......

    My speakers ny my monitor caused crap once. if they are near then put them further away. But it could be new monitor or a spanky new Grafix card time :)
