When I turn the machine on, all is well. Then, after a few minutes, smallcumulative
dashes appear here and there on the screen. The number of these dashes
increase the longer I stay on appearing as if it is some sort of
problem manifesting itself. As the dashes fill in the screen, they fillin
as columns of dashes from the top of the screen to the bottom, eventuallyin
looking like long zippers and rendering the screen virtually useless. It
doesn't matter what site I'm looking at as they appear on all screens but
differing places as I change sites.not
Further, as the dashes start, the display also has a tendency to freeze up
for 5 to 20 seconds. As it does so, the pictures and text are garbled.
Sometimes when the freeze ends the pics and text are restored, somtimes
and I need to slide the slider down past the garbled area and then back upto
restore the display.
All in all, I'm about to chuck the whole system at this point. As that
would be an expensive option, I'm thankful for any and all ideas.
Open the machine and have a look at the video card with the system
running...
good possibility that the cooling fan is bad.
If the fan is OK...then either the video drivers are corrupted...
or the card is just plain bad
