Random Lines Across my Monitor!!!
Hey guys,

I have these lines going across my monitor. Whenever I drag a window around, some lines remain behind.

Why is this happening and is there anyway to solve it?

Btw my video card fan is broken and has been for a couple of months. Is this the problem?

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like a graphics card problem to me. I would have suggested updating your drivers to your current version but not with your card in the state that it is in. Perhaps you should invest in a new card ?

There are a few nice cards that are reasonably priced at the moment. What will you be using it for (e.g. gaming, developing etc.) and how much are you willing to spend ?

hey, no worries mate. I'm from Hong Kong, and we actually have some malls here devoted to computers.
I asked my freind and he got the exactly the same card. (ATI 9550)[450HK$] [53-54US$]

xcept his manufacturer is different. He says it runs quite well and said that there was also 256mb version available for 100HK$ more, so I might pick tht up!!
