Hi, I have an issue with one of my dell wide screens, I have 2 dells side by side and they are of the 24inch variety. The one I'm having probs with uses a dvi connection and over last 2 days has started to exhibit some wierd behaviour in that the screen looks like it's getting static, static doesn't really describe it........it's like if it was a TV then the channel is just slightly off signal. Sometimes it just shows a black screen for second. I've done the usual plug/unplug, reload drivers, reboot, tried different os etc. Initially I thought it was the microwave or something but the other screen which is 2 years older is crystal clear. Has anyone experienced this kind of thing? I guess it could just be going dead.... :( of course it's just out of warranty :pinch:

sounds like your graphics card is overworked/overheating. 2 24" is a good load and then it could be the power supply. list your system specs please :rolleyes:
