Monitor problem .....

I am having Compaq presario desktop....

From yesterday i am facing a strange problem...the screen is getting distorted everytime I start my PC...two black bars..with somewhat semi--circular shape is comming..

What happened to the monitor....??What next should be done..??

Someone please reply.....is there any possibility of malfunctioning of SMPS...

Try degaussing it from your monitor controls (The symbol would be something like a horseshoe magnet with a cross)

Also if applicable, move your speakers away from the monitor, the bars might just be a magnetic disturbance.

yes...try Degaussing the moniter.And if possible try ur moniter on ur friends system.

I don't think it is a magnetic disturbance...because...the speakers are kept where they are for 2 years and never have any such problem bcoz of them....also......the screen is not shaking as in the case of magnetic disturbance of mobile or speaker when brough near it....

I think its some other problem......does SMPS ..has anything to do with this ???

^^^^^^smps has nothing to do with moniter visual effect.

......thanks....I realised..later that the SMPS question was just a silly one...sorry for that ...

get ur monitor checked.....probably a component has been damaged

I think your moniter itself has some problem. Check your moniter on your friends system.

Seems some capacitor in the monitor's power supply section is leaky.Get it checked.

Naaah guys..what i think that it si surely a Display driver prob..cuz i regurlar keep on xperimenting on my PC.and faced such things..

.see what has hapnd is ur drivers two of the base dlls hve ben damaged ...causing da malfunction..i hv suffered it lots of times..
as i duuno bout ur display driver /adapter so..if ur supports repairing..its better otherwise only way is to FORMAT......u can also see reinstalling that one..but i dont think that will help..

dunno . mind telling if the problem occurs only in windows or even when u're seeing the bios setup ..
if its only in windows , as pritishpaul said , it might be a driver problem . see if changing resolution &/or refresh rate helps ..
if not , its a definite hardware monitor problem . also i feel u cant rule out faulty graphics card or igp as the case may be or heating issues (i dunno abt this much , ...but 1st suspect wud be the monitor itself...does ur pc overheat neway??) ..

mostly its the monitor itself causing the prob . .try it in ur frends house . . bye
