I've been having this strange problem with my main system.
It's an old system with a PCI Radeon All-in-wonder (32MB).
I have a Viewsonic 19" CRT and Sony 15" CRT.
This problem started a few months back, at first the system was connected to the Sony monitor, and the image on the monitor sometimes become shaky for a few minutes and then just settle itself (similar to when you degauss your monitor, though not that shaky).
At that time I though the problem was the monitor, since it is really an old monitor, and after connecting the system to the Viewsonic the picture was ok. But then a few weeks later, for a few days everytime my system goes on power saving mode the monitor never comes back on even if the system is working (if I connect the Sony then I got picture, but the only way to get any image on the Viewsonic is to hard restart the system). That problem sort of resolve itself after a week or so. Now another problem comes up, which is the display on the Viewsonic becomes off coloured (tended to go to blue) after a few minutes of use, if I power off the monitor and power it back on then the display will be ok for a few minutes.
By the way the problem with the image shaking on the Sony still persists.
Unfortunately at the moment I did not have another system to try check the monitor(s).
Has anyone experience this problem? And any suggestion? Could it be the video card that is the problem or the monitor(s)?
