Hmm ... i would think its most likely some kind of interference with the monitor ...

make sure there are no strong sources of electric fields nearby ... as they will do that to the monitor ...

i used to have my monitor right next to a tv ... and it would do that to me ...

also ... my little brother used to have his pioneer stereo reciever and cerwin vegas ... right above his monitor ... which made it get all scrambled ...

another thing to check is refresh rates ... make sure everythig is within spec

if its not either of the first two

then finally ... try putting back in the old vid card .... does the image still vibrate ??? or is it back to normal ??? if so try to get an RMA on your vidcard .. or exchange it fromwhere ever you bought it at.

If thats not it ... test with a different monitor ... see about borrowing a cheap unused 14inch monitor or something ... just to be sure ..

I'd hate to have you spend hundreds of dollars to resolve a monitor problem ... and then find out its not even the monitor thats the problem ...

or maybe take your monitor to a friends place ... and plug it in there ... and see how it works


It may be a lot of work ... but it can save some money too

good luck

I think BurnItDown has the right idea; definitely sounds like an interference problem to me. Using unshielded speakers could cause the problem you're describing, as well as any number of other electrical appliances.

Basically, follow BurnItDown's advice, and you should be able to isolate the problem.
