Hi guys.
I posted this in the Monitor forum a few hours ago but probably should have gone here, feel free to delete that one.
I have two intermittent issues and I'm not completely sure of the cause, monitor, graphics, motherboard or all.
First is a few flickering horizontal blue lines particularly noticable on dark screens and video but a computer restart always fixes this and is not a major issue just yet but surely will be down the road.
Secondly and the worst by far is my screen going black as if my monitor has turned off (It hasn’t). The blackout can last a split second to 3 seconds. This usually fixes itself after a minute or so but this morning it went on for a good 20 minutes and then suddenly sorted itself out and has worked ever since.
I have checked for loose connections, all are fine.
My system is old so I wouldn’t be surprised if something is on it’s way out but unless it needs replacing I don’t really want to change anything just yet as I have no issues running anything that i want to.
Board is a Rampage Formula, Graphics is a GTX560Ti and Monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 245B
Any idea's?
Thank you.
