About a week ago, I started getting some bad video problems. On boot, there are blocks on the screen as it runs set up, then after it makes it to login screen there is color banding all across the monitor. It was less bad by switching to 16bit color, but still noticable. Video did not work or games. I fiddled around, rebooted, reset drivers a couple of times and it just seemed to randomly fix itself.
Well yesterday it did it again, I tried the same stuff and it's still messed up. I went to a restore point I made right after it was fixed originally, still same problem.
Running WinXP
Samsung 955DF monitor
ATI 9700 Radeon Pro 128mb.
I've reseated the drive, tried a different monitor, still the same problem. Ran through a couple different drivers off the ATI site, along with the catalyst set, still no help.
Not sure if this is in fact a video card problem, hard to tell for sure. Anyone have any thoughts?
