Graphics messing up after moving

tuttuttut · 07-12-2008, 09:00 AM

Yesterday I moved into a new place and the graphics card has obviously messed up during the move inside the case because now all my images are distorted and aren't showing up properly, some have lines through them etc, it was fine before the move.

I have opened the case and tried pushing everything in and all that but nothing works, I'm a newbie when it comes to where the graphics card is but looked it up and everything seems in place.

I have also updated the drivers but it didn't work as I suspected it wouldn't

Any ideas?

Thnx

What Brand, Model PC do you have?
If custom build motherboard and graphics card?

It's a Mesh comp with Nvidia 700 series graphics card.

I just checked my laptop and it seems that has colour problems as well, so maybe it isn't my graphics cad but something I have installed on both? But it was fine before the move and ive not installed anything on both since.

Weird

If it has a actual card and not onboard graphics I try removing and reseating the card
I don't know where your at but is power the same as where you were before?

I've tried everything I can in terms of inside the case.

And yeah, I guess the power is the same.

It's defo happening on the laptop too.

Is the PC an LCD or CRT screen?

I would normally tell you to try the monitor on another computer buy since you have a problem with the other one too I not sure whats going on here.
How were they moved packed in a box and put on a truck or ?
