    Display issues


    Can someone help explain what might be happening with my system?
    I installed my Window 7 Ultimate Edition both the 32bit and 64 bit version(separete times not at the same time) and i keep having the same issues. The welcome screen and exit screen are all choppy and pixelated. The Permission to install or do anything dialog box is also the same. I have contacted microsoft and they tell me to do all these different things and when they seem to run out of ideas my screen is all messed up ad i have to reinstall windows again. They keep telling me it's something to do with my graphic card but wouldn't i have this problem all over and not just in these three spots? Ever since i installed the rc edition i have been having this problem. i thought it was something in the beta version and i would fix it self when i upgraded to a full blown version. I love Windows 7 but i wish i could fix these few problems.

    Check video card for blown, leaky capacitors. Or capacitors with rounded tops instead of flat.

    Definitely not necessarily.

    If you attempt to replace cap(s), get same value/rating (or v slightly higher) and low esr type. Replace all that are of the same type as blown one(s), even if they look good.

    Also try your dvi/vga cord, It has happened to me, changed out my GC thinking it was it and still had prob, If you can take GC and put it in a different computer see if it still does it, But try cord first, took me hours before i tried this one simple thing.

    Definitely a good suggestion. But the age of card has me wondering....

    HFMan, do you have onboard integrated graphics adapter on motherboard to try?

    Also make sure your drivers are up-to-date.
