I saw this in your profile -- that's a good one.</p> <p>As a quick test to see if cooling is your problem, try taking the covers off of your case. You can use a desktop or floor-standing fan to blow air through the case and see if the video corruption goes away. You can also do a visual inspection of the fans, as jack7h3r1pp3r suggests, to see that they are all spinning. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/video-malfunction#post-43981 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 09:25:59 +0000 mayagrafix 43981@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thanks guys.

Is my motherboard at fault or is the monitor failing? </p>
