BonjourMika1990 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi there everyone! Well, for the past week and a half my computer monitor appeared to be failing...we got a new one, and realized that this was not the problem. heres what happens: There are techincolor lines (bulky) all over when we turn on the computer...and they're always there...sometimes bad, not so bad and really bad... I'm not sure what the problem is: The only thing I've eliminated from the list of possibilities is the monitor. Someone suggested something about a "video card", but I'm not so sure. Can someone help...or point me to the next step? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starrats Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 First thing I can think of is also the video card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*carrie* Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It's probably the video card. My grandpa just had to get a new video card and his was doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipop_monkey Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Sounds like a video card problem,. Take it to Best Buy and let them deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonjourMika1990 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Does ATI do video cards? So, basically I have to have someone take out the video card and replace it? And where exactly would I get the video card? Is it a software? I'm kinda confused:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 it's a little card that says "video" on it. You hold it up to the monitor and say some voodoo, and it makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROFLMAO Sarie! You're cruel and unusual in the most hilarious of ways. Does ATI do video cards?So, basically I have to have someone take out the video card and replace it? And where exactly would I get the video card? Is it a software? I'm kinda confused:blink: It's a piece of hardware - the kind you'd get would depend on a bunch of things, like what you use your computer for. It also has to be the right kind, in order to play nice with all your existing hardware, like your motherboard. Honestly, it's easiest to just make an appointment with Geek Squad and have them take care of it, unless you know someone who knows what they're doing. It's easier in the long run to get it done properly. http://www.geeksquad.com/services/category.aspx?id=231 FYI, it looks something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
