My computer jusat messed up. I was viewing the forums when all of a sudden my screen screwed up it started looking like a TV with no aerial in it (all fuzzy). I hard reseted my system and it seems ok now im backing up data then U'm gonna find a virus checker since i dont have one yet.

I wouldnt think a monitor should ever have a display like that even if the card is busted so do you think this is a problem with my graphics card of my monitor or a virus

>>actually that happened to my dad's old monitor when it started to die. dunno

>>but yeh that sounds like its hardware issue or sumtihn

damn. I was hoping it was virus so I could fix it for free. Anyway good thing i virus scanned turned out I had a trojan. how long do you think it has left?
thanks for the help.

no it wasnt just lines when I said fuzzy I meant the entire screen was unusable because it was entirely covered in blue/green/white dots flitting about the screen

I cant because it is working fine for the moment. I'm just worried it could happen again

>>if your comp has integrated gfx take out the agp or pci card and then see if that will happen again.

it does but since the problem hasnt occured again (yet) I dont think it would really prove anything. I forgot to mention though, last week my monitor went completely blank as if it were turned off however it was not as the LED was still on and not blinking like it does when it is on standbye. that also souns like a monitor problem but could also be the graphics card so I dunno

I dunno who to believe my graphics card (saphire 9600) has no fan either so that could be the problem but then again my monitor does make clicking sounds now and then but it has done this since i got it a year ago :/
