Display Corruption Out The Wazoo...

[BrianX]

My P has been jumping into a corrupt display. Even at the post screen. Even across reboots. I've had it for a whole 3 days, it stopped for 2, but re-started. Anyone else have this issue?

I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like (dual headed)...

I'm sorry brainX, but you screenshot seems to be missing.

Yeah, I've been fighting to get them scaled down to the 200K the board wants without losing resultion detal... It basically looks like the red channel went to a pattern or something.

I had a similar problem, corrupt display from boot, I'm afraid that was a faulty board. But I would try reseating your board in the AGP slot first thing.

[BrianX]

I've done that at least a dozen times...


The problem is the corruption starts sometimes after the system is booted. UNless it's wiggling out of the slot somehow...

Could that be caused by corrupted video BIOS? The fonts are stored in the video cards BIOS.

I sent the screenshot to matrox support, they RMAed the board.
