Hi,
I'm running a 24" dell 2405FPW at 1920x1200, on a DVI cable to a Geforce 6800.
I'm having this weird display problem on the desktop (windows XP) where, in some rows, the pixels are randomly shifted left by one pixel. It often skips rows, so, for example, the vertical line on the left edge of your mouse cursor will turn into a zig zag. If you drag windows around, the noise will sometimes follow the window a bit, in the sense that the affected rows will change a little, but often it stays the same.
Is this a monitor problem, a cable problem, or a video card problem?
My video driver has complained that the geforce is not getting enough power from the power supply. I do not suspect that this is an issue, but I'm just throwing it out there.
I dont think this is a monitor problem, since I feel like the defect would occur at the same lines, regardless of whatever the input is (windows moving around changes the defect).
So Im guessing that my DVI cable is shot, and that timing/signal on the cable is bad.
Can anyone help me diagnose this problem?
Best,
Mino
