Monitor Trouble
 

My monitor is doing this weird little number.

There was a faulty screw in the back of it, which I got fixed, but that didn't seem to have anything to do with it. Could something be wrong with the graphics card?

Post more info. What kind of monitor (LCD, CRT, plasma), how old, what brand, what cable (VGA, DVI) etc. etc.

It's LCD, Samsung, brand new, and I'm pretty sure the cable is VGA. (Whichever the blue plug one is. [/noob])

The picture doesn't really show what's wrong. Does a lower resolution solve the problem? A lower refreshrate? Lower colordepth? Fucking around with the settings on the monitor itself?

Actually it just sort of fixes itself after a while. Most of the time it works normally, but every once in a while it'll just have all these colored lines running across the screen and fucked up icons like in the picture.

Google to see if your screen has similar problems and possible solutions. Your best bet may to take the thing back to where you bought it, since you said it's brand new and it seems like a bad product to me.

This is an obscure attempt, but do you have any sort of video peripherals coming out of your computer? I ask because when I have an S-video cable plugged in to my video card, my monitors look exactly like yours. When I unplug it, things go back to normal.

The only thing I can think of is this adapter thing I have to use to even connect the monitor to the computer. Not sure what it's called, but it's long and white.
