Yellow Lines

[Guest]

My monitor started to get blue specks in in while playing "Everquest" last week and finally went black and froze. I couldn
t ctrl+ald+del it so I had to reboot. My Video card is a GeForce4 Ti 4600, and it says so before it even loads the BIOS, but there were 4 character wide gaps missing in vertical lines down the screen, all the way though to the "Windows Loading" screen. After windows booted, I had vertical yellow lines in groups of 4, about 1/4 of an inch apart all across my screen. When I drag a window the lines "bleed" onto the window and paint it yellow.. I can't figure what's wrong.. I've backed everything up on CD, and have done everything short of formating so far, including physically removing, dusting, and replacing the video card, and nothing helps... The computer runs ok, but I can't make the lines go away, and when in games that are full screen I get blue specks everywhere jumpsing per frame... Any suggestions? I have nothing installed but the windows updates and security patches, Nero for my backups, and things that refuse to uninstall..

Well, going to reboot and mess with it some more, thanks for the help, if anyone knows anything...

This sounds as if there is a problem with your video
card, try insterting another video card and installing
the drivers for it, this should solve your problem

Physically remove and reinstall your video card. If that doesn't fix the
problem it is likely your monitor going bad.
