I've recently installed Win2K on my machine and have noticed a very odd occurrence. If I try to bump the refresh rate higher than 60Hz at any resolution the screen goes 'wavy' on me. This seems to hold true for games as well (I assume Direct3D or the games themselves have a default refresh...

This could very well be a bad monitor cable. Check the connections on both ends and if it's still bad and the cable is detachable from the monitor try to replace the cable before going to any other extremes. Look for bent pins on the connectors and make sure everything is screwed in tight. I...

I just put together a machine for my parents and ran into one of the weirder things I've ever seen on a box. Everything looks to be running fine but I have 2 problems. First, when you hit the power button the machine starts up (drives spin up, fans start, etc), but I have no video. As soon as...

I seem to be having some serious 3D problems on my system now. I can run 2D apps and games until the end of time but within 1-5 minutes of running any 3D game my system hardlocks on me. This could be a cooling problem, but I've had the card for over a year now and haven't had any problems...
