hi...ived tryed to look for help on every forum i know,for this problem that i have..but still no answer...
Iam having problems whit my display(i have a PNY GeForce8600GT 512Mb DDR3)..how to say it...i brought a new pc and a new lcd tft LG monitor....the problem is,whit that monitor i was geting the "ghosting effect",very very bad "ghosting effect"...i switched to my old ctr monitor and things are better now...but i still have a little bit of ghosting effect(i think is it ghost effect)is like when iam in desktop and iam draging an opened window from one side of the monitor to another,the edges of that opened window are fuzzy....it looks like iam having no display driver installed(like the generic display driver is installed)but on a much little little scale(in games like fifa08 when iam shooting at goal or when iam making a long pass and game gets more faster,the imagine becomes fuzzy,it looks like the monitor cant catch up whit hte game.I have try'ed on 3 different ctrs and 2 lcd's whit same result)
On my old pc whit a Assus 1600x series 256Mb...i had a similar problem but back then i was just closing the GamerOSD from assus and 3D applications will runs smoth...
Any ideas what this is?

My PC spec:CPU:Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 2,4GHz
eVGA:PNY gf8600gt 512Mb
RAM:4Gigs DDR2
HDD:2x 500Gb 7200rpm

sounds like bad ram on the card
what power supply are you running
brand
wattage
ask a friend to try the card in their computer to see if it is the same
reinstall the drivers
in the device manager uninstall the card
reboot tapping f8 and choose vga mode
when windows finishes rebooting
disable a/virus
install your drivers
reboot the computer

ok thx for the quik replay...
But first thing first...My Pc full specs:
CPU:Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @2,4GHz 1066FBS
VGA:PNY GeForce 8600GT 512Mb DDR3 128bit interface
RAM:2 x 2Gb Swissbit PC2-5300(333MHz) Frequency 200/266/333 MHz
Motherboard:MCP73D(MS-7366*medionpc*)chipset NVidia nForce 630i
HDD:2 x 500Gb GreenPower(WD)7200rpm ATA
PSU:FSP GROUP INC. forton/source AC input:230-240V ,5A,50-60Hz Dc output:350W(+3.3V & +5V & +12V=320W max.)(3.3V &5V=180W max.)
....i do own a gf8500gt but the rsults whit this gc are the same as whit 8600gt so i dont think the grapich card is the problem here...
...ived instaled and uninstaled all the drivers from nvidia up to 174.93 beta but all whit same results...but ill try what u say whit uninstall video card disable the antivirus thing,and replay if anything has changed...
But if u look at this post before i do that part could u tell my if my spu and ram's are ok?

the 350w is to low

colep2003

I agree the 350 Watt is low...both my PC's have a 500W PSU.

Yeah...I would try your graphics card in another PC...

What else...hmm...Can you think of any other problems that your PC is having?

Because it could be something else entirely...But we need to know any and all symtoms your PC is having...

UPDATE: The Low PSU could actaully be the thing at falt. which means its probably causing stress on your parts... Lets go ahead with the try on the other PC...

But Shop for a PSU...So your PC wont die anytime soon...Probably would be best to buy one with another case...So we need to know more about your comp.

Its just as expencive to buy a PSU as to buy a case with one. Its easier to rebuild than to replace a PSU...

Not to mention the 2 hrs. of tedous work...

valica7

well...iam sure that the grapich card isnt the problem...coz as i said i have a gf8500gt whit same simptoms when i put it in my pc.
But about PSU...i didnt have any problems whit both gf8500gt & gf8600gt like frezzing in game ,blue screen,or any others problems that ived seen that peoples whit low PSU have(ived played asassins creed about 4 hours in a row and it ran like a charm*excepting that enoying lack of vsync or fuzzynes i dont know how to call it*)
aaa...and btw on my pny gf8600gt i dont have a 4 pin plug for a direct power cable from psu.Now iam asking if there is any other solution because i dont have the money to spend on a new psu..

dai

before buying see if you can borrow one to check with

valica7

well i found what the problem is in corect words:D
I have no vsync in desktop and games!!!

valica7

Iam going to borrow a psu..yes...(low on cash)
But an interesting thing is that today after i mess around whit the refresh rate and other things i was able to play fifa08 whitout tearing(in desktop iam still having that tearing problem*no vsync*)...but only in the resolution of 1280@1024(dunno what refresh rate)and whit forced vsync from nvidia cp.(desktop still tearing,dvd,dvix playback still tearing,and some other games)

dai

see how you go with the borrowed one

valica7

:( ived borrowed one from a friend...but no luck!it was a 450w....is still had no vsync in desktop dvd,divx playback and some games....aparently in games like Indigo Propechy wich is "nvidia the way is meant to be played" and Lineage 2 wich is runing on unreal engine opengl i dont have this vsync problems(i enabled force vsync for this games)...but is very upseting when iam scrolling a web page or drag a opened window the lack of vsync is very visible(i can see the edge of the window not syncronized and tearing)

dai

you need to borrow one 550w+ if you can
check if you have room to lift the refresh rate

valica7

a quik question....
The brand of the psu counts or any 550w psu is good?(iam very low on cash...and for the moment iam not working:D)

dai

yes it does,todays computers demand quality whereas in the days of win 98 you could get away with just about anything
it started with xp and power requirements have been like a snowball going downhill skyrocketing along the way
Power Supply Information and Selection

colep2003

Your Power input to the devices is very low.

Yes the brand counts...Consair is a good one.
