I have an Optiquest Q71 which I run on a TNT2 at 85hz at 1024x768 in Windows 2000.
I've been having problems with it for the past two months.
In the beginning, the screen would go green for a second or two. No biggie I thought.
Then a few weeks later, the screen would turn green, and stay that way. A slap (no joke here) on either side of the monitor would bring it back to the normal colour.
THEN, no video would show at all (blank, black screen). Only a REALLY hard slap on either side of the monitor would bring the video back.
FINALLY, I am having a combination of the above problems, PLUS it fades to black when I do manage to get the video back...
I've tried swapping video cards (Swapped my Diamond v770 TNT2 AGP with a Voodoo3 3000 PCI) to no avail. Have also checked connections to ensure that they are secure.
I've heard that this could be a voltage problem of some sort? Or is it?
Help!
(And yes I could concievably get a new monitor, but I'm a cash strapped student saving up for University...)
