I've recently been encountering problems with my monitor
4 replies, posted
Recently, my monitor has been messing up. Sometimes when I switch user and log back in, the only thing the screen shows is a bunch of greyish/whitish vertical lines. The only way I can get rid of it is if I shut down my computer using the power button. I'm not sure what is causing this problem, however I suspect it's my graphics card drivers. I've tried reinstalling them, but that didn't fix the problem either.
Specs
Monitor: SyncMaster 932BW /BW 1932/932BWE plus
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+
GPU: ATi Radeon HD 5670
If there's anything I missed, feel free to point them out.
It sounds like your GPU, not your monitor. Are you OC'd at all? Trying a newer, or older, driver never hurts.
Yes, my graphics card is overclocked. I've tried the drivers that came with my graphics card, as well as the 10.3 ones, and the 10.5 beta ones. None of those seem to work.
Try using this [url]http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/[/url] to overclock, it will show you how high you can go before you get any artifacts. You just raise it until you get an artifact on the graphic on the left. I bet your current overclock shows artifacts.
I'll just keep it at default clock.

At default clock, the vertical lines don't show up anymore.

I'd prefer to keep it overclocked as high as possible though.
