PC Video fault

Thank 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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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)[reply]

That's good to hear, good luck with the replacement! Rmvandijk (talk) 12:39, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
