I rebuilt my parents PC about a month ago, and I set it up with Windows XP because my dad wanted to have control over who installed programs and everything…and didn’t want to deal with the way 2K does all of that. Starting about 2 weeks ago he started having weird problems with the video display on the PC, it is incredibly hard to describe though. Its like it doesn’t load all of the images that should be displayed, the PC will lock up, and the monitor clicks off and on like the display is out of its frequency range…and then it will come back.
System Specs
- AMD Athlon T-Bird 1.2 GHz
- Epox 8K7A+
- 256 MB PC2100 Crucial
- Elsa Gladiac GeForce2 MX
- Soundblaster Live! Value
- 3Com 3C905-B 10/100 NIC
- 40GB Maxtor 7200RPM ATA/100 HDD
- Pioneer 106s Slot Load DVD-ROM
- Lite-On 40/12/40 CD-RW
- NEC MultiSync FE700
Has anyone ever seen a similar problem? I can try to explain it in greater detail if needed. The problem seems to occur with most applications…most noticeably when using Internet Explorer and when connecting remote applications via Citrix.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
