Any pc/laptop people on r3v?

does the BIOS screen report on your laptop ?

and get a UPS, as power spikes are bad for pc's.

That's what I'm thinking. Gold plated HDMI ftw.

My buddy said his monitor tweaked like that when he used a DVI cable on his secondary monitor too. He switched to a HMDI for his primary and a VGA for his secondary monitor and it works perfectly now. Coincidence? IDK but they're $8 so might as well start there.

GPU is toast, your computers power supply can't handle two monitors, or if your running a DVI cable, they do this. I hate DVI cables, go VGA or HDMI preferably.

or its the interlink flex cable between the mainboard and the display.

Most likely its the cable.

I'm talking about the wires themselves. I run a DVI on my HP monitor and a HDMI on my Samsung monitor. The HP (DVI) tweaks out every once in a while and I believe it's because of the cord-it doesn't do it with a VGA or HDMI, only a DVI cable.

DVI:



HDMI:



They might serve the same function, but physically they are different.

HDMI and DVI are the same.

Does it only happen in windows or is it displayed like that during POST?
if it happens during POST then your GPU is gone. If everything looks fine but once you get into windows that happens then its probably a driver issue.

Try changing resolutions and updating drivers. see if it changes at all when you move the hinges. The worst thing that can happen is you have to open it up and put in a replacement display.

[george graves]

Eeeek! Were they all plugged into the same power outlet?

[eskimo810]

cable connecting screen below the hinge, inside the case is loose...maybe

[evandael]

Blame planned obsolescence for your issues. Hope it works out, I don't know shit about computers (lawl i'm a Mac!)

[e30lov]

Just shut it down for about an hour or so. Still doing it. Drivers are up to date. I fried my motherboard in my desktop pc about a month ago. Two days later I fried a video card in my personal laptop. Now this happens. I'm never buying a computer again

lol

I would suspect a GPU problem as a monitor issue would not dupicate those fresh as fuck roof racks. try installing new drivers, and letting it cool down.
