Lines appearing on screen when using VGA but not when using HDMI.
Hi,
I recently made a thread on this forum talking about how my new PC setup has suddenly started creating lines on my screen
Link:
Wavy lines across screen, (usually grey-ish colours) on new setup.
After trying a full list of things;
- 2 different monitors
- 2 different VGA cables
- 3 different mice
- 3 different keyboards
- change power supply
- change graphics card
- used onboard graphics
- switched ram sticks and removed one at a time
- reformatted a dozen of times
- unplugged all sound from computer
- checked motherboard for any visual problems and couldn't see any
- updated all drivers I could possibly think of
- Ran Memtest for 7 passes with no errors
I've finally found out the problem and that was when I connected my graphics card using HDMI to a HDMI compatable monitor it worked fine and I had no more lines!
So it seems that using HDMI is working fine but soon as I use a VGA cable its not working and the lines are back. It only confused me more when I connected a VGA cable from another computer to the monitor it all worked fine.
As far as I can tell it's something to do with my computers VGA/HDMI settings, I've tried onboard VGA and that still didn't work so it doesn't seem to be a graphics card problem just something is stopping VGA working properly but HDMI is working.
Any help? Or I'm gonna have to go buy an expensive new monitor with HDMI compatability.
