Hi, well I thought everything was fine. But its not. I am finding that my screen gets garbled every so often sometimes right away when i just open IE5 or later when ive been browsing for a bit (10-20min) and the system locks, so I updated to 5.13 version (Is the 5.15 an official stable release? should i install it?) and thought it was fixed, nope it isnt. It varies in time that it occurs but the end result is the same garbled text or large gray/black bands acroos the screen. Windows Device manager is set to Compaq 171FS and when I go to load that in the matrox display proerties, or if i try standard 1024x768 the banding/corruption show up like Boom!, so I think that is the problem, how do i fix this? Do i specify something different? I heard about this before with the Abit mobo but couldnt find it anywhere on the forum. this is really ticking me off and driving me crazy!!! I have:
G400 DH 32Mb
SBLive! value
and a Celeron 466 on an Abit BX6 R2.
Is this that monitor thingy? How do I remedy it? Do I have to switch to a diff monitor (the only other one here is a Dell VS15 15", I kinda like 17" though.) I am saving for a V95, but that wont happen until umm, November, so you see this problem is going to kill me! please help me, also because I want to play Descent 3 now that I heard the EMBM patch is out!!!
