I'm starting to think I have a different problem with this computer,
that's not
operating-system related.
I occasionally have slowly-moving horizontal lines on my monitor that show
up
on the lighter coloured parts of my screen and travel upward. It seems to
come
and go, and looks for all the world like electrical interference. The
lines are
very small, maybe 15 per inch, and are mostly visible on the top half of
the
monitor. On a smaller monitor I might not even notice them, but on this
22"
wide screen monitor it's distracting.
I moved the computer further away from the monitor and changed its
orientation
but that didn't change anything. I also tried plugging the monitor and
computer into different/separate electrical circuits and tried it without
my UPS
as well.
Is there anything else I should be trying? I'm running out of ideas.
Hum bars. That suggests an overloaded computer powersupply or that the
monitor powersupply is about to die.
