1: Switched the PC on this morning and this is what my desktop looks like (note the vertical bars in the taskbar area, and the pattern of blocks in the widget area)
2: This is what FQ85 looks like - more vertical bars that seem to x-ray things
There are also 16 horizonal bars that follow the mouse pointer around the screen.
Media Player has vertical, dashed lines all over the playing area of the window in a regular pattern.
In the previous day's session no new programs, updates, registry tweaks, uninstalls; in other words I ran the same programs I normally do, doing the same things I normally do and all virus checker and firewalls were untouched and operational.
I have since downloaded the latest ATI drivers for the Radeon Pro 9700, which has been running OK prior to this but it still looks the same.
Two things strike me: SyncMaster 930BF monitor problem or general RAM problem. Can't test the monitor on another computer as everything else I have is not DVI.
Any suggestions?
