Vertical Lines on display
Hello all, last month I installed a 9800 Pro and since then have had no problems. But yesterday after coming out of standby mode, there were vertical lines on the monitor. The were mostly white and purple in color. I figured the card my have been overheating after I was done playing War III, so I shut off the system for a while. Then later I tested standby mode for a while and the corruption was gone. But later that night I played War for about an hour, put it on standby, came back about a half hour later and the lines were back. I just also recently installed SP 2. Would that affect it somehow? I wasn't having any problems with SP 1. I've read that corruption usually comes from overheating due to poor cooling/overclocking, but my 9800 Pro has an arctic cooling fan. Can anyone offer some help or advice? Thanks in advance.
