2900GT Warped Picture

[joewm18]

Hi all,

I've just spent the best part of today re-building my comp with new parts listed as follows:

ATI 2900GT 256mb
3500+ 64
Asus SLI deluxe mobo
1Gb dual channel ddr400
HiperR 480W PSU

Monitor: 19" Asus widescreen LCD (VGA)

The problem i'm having, is after installing all of the neccessary ATI drivers etc, and setting it to native resolution (1440x900) The picture is warped, from left to right as if there's a shadow across everything and the colours are somewhat washed out.

My monitor being VGA - I'm using the provided DVI-VGA adaptor, connecting to a gold connector VGA cable. Things i've tried so far to fix the problem are: Trying both DVI-outs, trying both DVI-VGA adaptors, reseating the card, making sure there's no dust in the slot, made sure the card's power cable is connected.

Refresh rates supported by my monitor are 60, 70, and 75 - where 75Hz provides the sharpest picture. I'm a complete noob when it comes to DVI, PCI-E and ATI cards in general, would there be a setting in the ATI tools which determines what type of signal it outputs? Or could there be something else wrong??

Sorry for lack of photo, but if any1 can shed any light on the issue, i'd be most grateful! Cheers

Try looking in the Catalyst control centre for any thing that looks out of the ordinary, without a shot of the warped screen, i cant really say much else.
What drivers are you using.
Have you tried it on other resolutions.

vga-cables, being analogue, are easily susceptible to damage and will still provide a picture. try another vga cable.
