"My monitor has started showing lines lines that gray out the screen with
streaks. If there is a word on the white screen, there will be a gray
background blur all the way accross the screen. If there is a paragraph or
wide shaded area, there is a gray steak for each line. The line moves with
the print as I scoll. This does this in all programs. Brightness, contrast,
degauze, on the other settings on the monitor have no effect on the problem."
I have the exact same problem, and it also slows down my computer
dramatically and makes it freeze and restart. But I got farther than he did.
(I tried system Restore first)I restarted in safe mode, and my computer
worked fine, so I figured it was a bad Video driver. So, I uninstalled my
drivers, restarted normally, and everything was ok. The only problem, is that
I have to reinstall those drives, so that my video card works properly again.
When I did that, it prompted me to restart, so I did, and I got the same
streaking again/slowing problem. So I restarted in safe mode, uninstalled the
drivers yadda yadda yadda. So, now there is no streaking, but I am not sure
if I should reinstall the drivers. Also, since I did that, my computer has
been running just a wee bit slower than usualy, like, if I scroll on a
webpage, its hangs for a sec then jaggedly moves down, so I am convinced I
have not completely erradicated the problem. Any ideas? Please, all of your
help is welcomed.
