December 30, 200718 yr When I play games on my computer the screen messes up. The graphics are fine but there is an effect that is like an old T.V..... It's like an old T.V. with an antennae missing. Its hard to explain but its like a bunch of flashing red lights are all over the computer screen... They look like this... __ What's wrong? 98% Of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 0.01% that stayed with Punk, put this in your signature, Punk Till The End!!!
December 30, 200718 yr Could be your monitor on it's way out. Do you have a spare monitor lying around that you could plug in to see if it makes a difference? [Tip.It Mod][Retired][Add your Steam name here!]
December 30, 200718 yr Try updating your graphics card, or your monitor could have broke. More details please. Stat Progress | Stat Averages | Stat Records

December 30, 200718 yr Lordofrah is right, try updating the graphics card drivers first. That's easy to do and it may fix the problem. [hide=Getting Drivers]First, find out the card you have. Many ways to do this. On XP, just go Control Panel > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager > Then expand the little '+' sign next to Display Adapters. This will show your Graphics Card. Now you know the model, go to the Chipset Manufacturers Site ATI - http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html nVidia -http://www.nvidia.com/Download.....lang=en-us Install the drivers and reboot.[/hide] [Tip.It Mod][Retired][Add your Steam name here!]
December 30, 200718 yr Author Its not the drivers so I need a new monitor =(. But thanks for your help. Also I've wanted to know which graphics card I have for a while now so its nice to know. =) 98% Of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 0.01% that stayed with Punk, put this in your signature, Punk Till The End!!!
January 1, 200818 yr I want to say it is the monitor. I had a similar problem...try plugging in a spare if you have one.
