No, I haven't changed a thing. It started doing this a
couple of weeks ago and is getting worse. When using a
process such as word without being online, my monitor
started getting these strange lines running across it.
It is only today that I was able to correlate the two
together. When a line would go across, the cpu of the
ups would shoot up to like 68% and then drop to 0. Then
another line and the ups went up again. Yet it doesn't
happen when connected.
