I have a UNIQUE computer problem

Did the AGP card have this issue aswell?

Yep. But hard to tell if the card was bad or not. Still, this means I have not tried to troubleshoot the issue yet with a PCI or PCI Express card.

I've encountered screen distortions on OPC's (other peoples computers) before. Normally it's caused by a magnetic devise positioned close to, or on the monitor. Have you added a new set of speakers? Is this distortion the same in different areas or rooms of your domicile?

I've had the same set of speakers for about 4 years now. Yes, the distortion is the same in both bedrooms, and the living room. I tested in both bedrooms without speakers or the internet. Jut mouse, keyboard, and tower.

Actually both would be good. Screenshots (which I expect will look normal to us) and pictures from a camera positioned central to the screen to show the porduced output.

Forgive my mistypings. Using mobile right now.

I've sent screenshots to people of this issue, and the screenshots show no distortion. I think it's because it only takes photos of what the signal is sending out. Not what the monitor itself shows.

If the AGP card did the same as two on board GPU the chances if it being a fault with all 3 is very slim indeed. Two identical systems may share a common fault but to have a 3rd differnt GPU produce the same issue pretty much eliminates the GPU as the cause.

You say there is a slant forwards/backwards just on the left hand side. Does this mean the overall image appears to twist?

Yeah. Like the task bar and browser windows looked crooked and tilted because of this glitch. Still readable but very abnormal looking.
