video card problem????
i just bought a flat panel TFT lcd monitor, x2gen is the brand, when i hooked it up the screen looked like it was vibrating when i would pass the mouse cursor over a link or when i clicked on something. i sent it back and they tested it for 4 days and told me it was fine. when i got it back i hooked it up and updated my drivers and it still had the same problem. then i took the monitor to my dad's house and hooked it up to his hp computer and it worked fine. i dont know if this is a problem with my graphics card or what. i have a radeon 9200 se 128MB DDR AGP card. this card should be plenty for this monitor. could there be a defect in the card or am i way off base. any help would be great. by the way i built my system myself. i have windows xp home, pent 4 2.0 GHZ, 512MB memory. the monitor is hooked up with the standard d-sub connector. please help.

Try a different video card. If that works, then yours may be the cause.
If the problem happens with another video card, then there it may be caused by a driver conflict, or by your browser if it happens only when online. See if a clean boot can find the cause. |

It could also be electrical interference near your setup. Have you tried using the monitor's auto tune function?

What resolution do you have the video card set at. Should be set to the native resolution of the monitor(1280x1024) and refresh to 60hZ.

Careful, if that's a 15" monitor, then the native res is 1024x768, don't go any higher than that if it's 15". 17 and 19" are 1280x1024.

Sorry, thought I saw the size in his post. But the 60hZ setting still holds.

That monitor wouldn't happen to have a DVI connection? If you had a DVI cable around you could try that.

Do you have another computer in the house? If it works fine on another computer in another setting, try swapping the other computer for your computer - so it's in the same place. The computer that had it working now doesn't, then you've got some interference, otherwise it looks like it points to your computer.
