TV-out problem with Geforce 6600GT

Kokovartalo · 11-30-2005, 06:49 AM

Hey!

I have just upgraded my MB and memory. And when I put on my tv-out option (Clone view) the tv shows strange vertical and horizontal waving lines. This happened suddenly after the upgrade. I saw that people have problem with B&W pictures but mine is little bit different. You can see the colors but the picture has wavy lines. I´m using S-video cable between the computer and TV. What is also strange that when I boot my machine the picture is fine on my TV until the Windows loading screen appears.

SPecs are: ASUS A7V600-X, 512 MB 400MHZ DDR, GEFORCE 6600GT, NEXUS 300W

Try a different cable. I had a similar problem with my laptop. It wouldn't work with a cheap S-video cable so I got a Monster cable and bingo! It works very nicely. You may not need the uber-expensive Monster cable, but I would guess your current S-video cable is the problem.

Keep us posted with your progress

I bought a new s-video cable with golden plugs and the quality of the picture improved a little bit. Could it still be a broken card?? I forgot to tell the whole specs: MSI NX6600GT 128MB

Unfortunately, gold tips do not improve the quality of the cable in the cable. It is a great sales tool, but doesn't guarantee a quality unit. You may have to try the Monster Cable just to make sure...you can probably return it if it doesn't work for you. If it does, then problem solved.

keep us posted with your progress.
