hi, my monitor seems all blurry so i disconnected the tower and connect onto my downstairs monitor still the same, i tried another monitor still the same could this be my motherboard or graphics card i have ordered another motherboard of ebay a asus tusi-m which has a built on graphics card just in case it's the graphics card but i think it could be the motherboard as i have tried other graphic cards, i'm thinking it could be the agp slot anyway any help please this thing is giving me eye strain.

here's my present setup

asus p2-99 motherboard
nvidia geforce2 mx400 graphics card
ceative labs 24 bit sound card
ide hd 40 gb
ide hd 80 gb
512 mb pc100 sdram memory

thanks guys, nigel

Hi there!

Is it 'blurry' before windows starts or is it just after windows has booted? If it is just 'blurry' after windows has booted it may just be a driver issue.

If the issue happens all the time it is most likely the graphics card, which as you say the motherboard would correct this, the first thing I would try in the mean time would be to reseat the graphics card [Open the case with the PC switched off, identify your graphics card and remove it and then put it back in ensuring it is correctly seated]

Hope this helps.

i tried that with no luck i have a few older graphics cards but they seem to be the same, the other monitor i have downstairs has a video mode and text mode. the one upstairs which has'nt but then when i put the tower with the problem it is still blurry so do you think it is more then likely the graphics or motherboard.
