Monitor Problem

[karan_khilery]

Hi,
I have a AMD 64 2800+, with winxp pro. Mine is a gigabyte motherboard, which has both onboard graphics as well as a AGP 8x slot.
Recently i bought a Xfx GeForce FX 5200, 8x card and put it in my system.
Things got wierd, my monitor does not display the green color and there is a strange purple hue on my monitor. My monitor is Microtek 15" 1569MD. This monitor works fine with my onboard graphics, but not with my new card. If i put my friends monitor(new lg monitor) then it works fine...
plz help

That colour is most probably due to the moisture during rainy season. Protect ur monitor from it at all costs.

The problem could be.......

the problem cannot be due to moisture.. as he says it works fine on his onboard card.....

plz check that the drivers of card are properly installed and windows recognises your monitor > check this control panel > system > device manager . remove any conflicting drivers of your monitor or reinstall them..

before this this trick is worth trying.......

there should be OSD button on your monitor... access it and check the RGB setting and play around with them and do remember them before setting them so that you can revert back if something goes wrong.....

more over check that degauss is on from > OSD > SPECIAL . this should solve your problems....

its due to magnertic effect.It happened once for me too.There is an option called degauss in your monitors option buttons.it removes the green colour.

My award for the worst card ever created: The XFX Geforce FX5200. I mean, the amount of complaints that I've heard related to this card is just insane.

Anyway try Degaussing. But that might not work as the monitor is working fine with the onboard solution. Try putting the FX 5200 into your friend's PC and see if the grafix card is the culprit.
