LCD screen flashes in yellowish color every once in a while

c627627 · 03-26-05, 05:48 PM

Ati 9600XT card + ViewSonic VX910 LCD.

Screen flashes in yellowish color every once in a while.

It does so even at:
Stock speeds-overclocked speeds-Windows XP-Windows Me-Old drivers-New drivers.

EDIT: ...and so it turns out it was a bent pin on one end of the VGA cable!

hmmm, had that happen to my first lcd, but it flashed white, then one day when i turned it on it stayed white

it could be dieing how old is the card and how long have you had it overclocked?

Aphex_Tom_9 · 03-26-05, 06:04 PM

make sure your cable's plugged in fully/properly

c627627 · 03-26-05, 06:21 PM

LCD is 4 months old, the card is 6 months old. The card itself has never been overclocked.

The cord was the first thing tried.

bobmanfoo · 03-26-05, 06:28 PM

you don't have another video card or monitor?

c627627 · 03-26-05, 07:15 PM

Heh. Yes... a really old PCI card and an old monitor and I wil eventually post the results for others with similar problems in the future to see but I was hoping to see if this was a problem that someone else encountered because I would have to use the system for a bit to notice it, it doesn't happen all the time,...
