| color vertical lines Hello, Problem: 2 instances within a month. Unit is powered on every AM and powered off every PM. When unit was turned on after Bios screens appear and before Windows Desktop appears. The screen changed into colored lines. Shut down using power on/off was needed. Second time (3-4 weeks later) powering on-off (twice) did not help. Used GoBack and unit restored to last shutdown. No problems indicated in hardware or software, using Device Manager and Event Viewer. Unit works without problem after each instance. Video card has v91.47 driver from Nvidia site. Using Windows XP Home SP2 all updates, (oem generic). Unit was repaired in August, 2006 due to a power problem from a extremal Fire-wire power port. Motherboard - processor - video card - power supply - 56k modem and memory were replaced. Installed DFI MB with Intel 865pe chipset, Intel P4 3GHz processor, 1.5 GB Micron memory, Nvidia fx6200 with 256 memory video card, Viewsonic VG800b LCD monitor. Researched in Nvidia newsgroups, no mention of this type of problem that I could find for this card. The monitor shows BIOS screens and GoBack screen and beginning of OS screens properly. Appreciate input. Thank You. take care. beamish. |

He had been told it was a bad harddrive. I watched it & guessed/analyzed it to be a bad video card. Only had a cheapo in stock, tried it, and it solved the problem. Client had already bought a new pc and was gonna give it to 10-year old grands, so we decided to leave the simple vid. card in. HTH, s |

Thought it is interesting that using GoBack gave a good boot. This is why I was thinking of a possible software issue. Searching E-Bay for a card, no reason not to install a different card. take care. beamish. |
