Hi, Don`t understand why you sent me message, you will notice I reverted back to your edit within 1 minute, because I was looking at my watchlist on an iphone and have rollback (single click reverts edits) I accidentaly rolledback your edit, simple as that. --palmiped | Talk 16:19, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
PC Video fault
editThank you for your response [1] to my problem at the Computing Ref. desk and for the manual you found. I have replaced the video card but the fault remains! DroneB (talk) 22:36, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- @DroneB: Sorry to hear that. If it is on the hardware level, I'd say that means that there is something wrong with the connectors, either the pci-slot or the cable to the monitor. Since you mentioned that the display and cable were tested, that could mean a new mainboard. Before going there though, I'd exclude other possibilities:
- One thing that I just thought of is that the issue could be software related, what is the refresh rate your display supports and what is the refresh rate set by Windows?
- Since you posted the memory in Norwegian, I'd suspect that 50 hZ would be the max but only because we once had a (crt) monitor that would freak out if set to more than 50 hZ.
- Worth trying before getting new hardware, wish I had remembered that earlier Rmvandijk (talk) 08:55, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Again thanks for your expert input! The video card fits the older AGP slot, not PCI. My good news is that with a correct replacement video card the PC VGA video is now restored. DroneB (talk) 09:47, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- That's good to hear, good luck with the replacement! Rmvandijk (talk) 12:39, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
