| 782138 | 2009-06-14 02:48:00 | What does a matrix like screen, where all the bios is really fuzzy and jumbled, mean? Its a HP Media Centre, and i checked the RAM/Video card, which are all fine.... any other ideas? | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 782139 | 2009-06-14 05:56:00 | Stuffed monitor if the graphics card is OK. | pctek (84) | ||
| 782140 | 2009-06-14 21:27:00 | I have trid about 5 different monitors, both VGA and DVI, maybe it could be a agp slot issue? | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 782141 | 2009-06-14 22:18:00 | Does it boot past the BIOS fine? And do graphics work ok in your operating system? | ad_267 (6193) | ||
| 782142 | 2009-06-14 23:22:00 | How did you test the graphics card? This issue is normally faulty RAM, faulty graphics memory or an overheated graphics card. With any of those issues, you'd need to replace the offending hardware. A faulty AGP(?) slot would also bo a potential culprit, if that's the case it could potentially signify the beginning of motherboard failure. I'd run RAM tests, using MemTest86+. |

| 782143 | 2009-06-15 00:26:00 | RAM is ok, even got new RAM and a video card to try, no change, i can get into the BIOS but get thru the menus is a bit of guess work as i cant see thingsa very well as it is all blurred and distorted. My conclusion is the board is on its way out | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 782144 | 2009-06-15 00:37:00 | My conclusion is the board is on its way out That would be my thought. If that is the case, being an AGP board getting a replacement may be an impossibility, might be motherboard/RAM/CPU upgrade time. :( |
