    Ok, I got this new PC few months ago. You can see the configuration in the attachment.

    And see the youtube video, how the screen is acting.

    youtube.com/watch?v=b5A9s2o4yk0


    What can be the issue ?

    This is not a LCD issue, since we tried changing the LCD already and the same effects show. :busted_red:

    u talking about the white spot, correct? or resolution looks a bit out of sync? hard for me to tell by watching the vid alone without your input.

    No..
    The whole screen is showing fuzzy lines all through. Like a TV without enough signal works.

    Can you see, the whole screen, white lines revolving all around ?

    I will check the graphic card driver, that entails verifying it is the latest on the manufacture website. You can also delete it and let windows install if for ya? was the issue present since day one, or it did develop after?

    How to delete graphic card driver and ask windows to download it again ?

    It was fine until last week. Not sure, why it started acting this way.

    just hit start / right click on my computer / and Manage
    Hit device Manager
    Scroll to
    Display adapter

    Select your Graphic card, go to driver, uninstall, reboot

    While you at it, tell us what you have as graphic card

    Ok uninstalled the graphics card and let the windows download it again.

    Same problem.

    Still the dazzling lines all around the LCD screen making it hard to work on the monitor.

    What else can it be ?

    what is your graphic card? go to the manufacture and download latest driver, check your cable connection or swap cables if you have another.

    Right click on desktop select Properties >> Settings >> Advanced >> Adapter or right click on desktop>> select graphic properties and you will see what type of graphics card the computer has.

    Does the machine have a make and model? Or was it a home build? If it is a commercial PC, go to that maker's website and get the driver. If it's a home built you need to determine the make and model of the graphics card so you can go to its maker's website and get its latest driver. You already know it's a Intel, you just need to know what model.

    From within the Computer Management panel, click on Device Manager and then expand Display Adapter. The information you need should be there.

    Or if it is home built, call the person your got the computer from.

    Edit:
    I watched your YouTube video. The vid's quality was too poor for me to see any problems.

    Not necessarily. If he's using a graphics card that's part of the mother board he likely can't simply replace it. But you're exactly correct if it's separate from the main board.

    You did what I usually do; forget about built-in. When I build a computer, I always install a separate video card even if the mobo has one built-in. Consequently, I forget about on-board graphics. :D

    I haven't built a complete system in about a year, most of my time with computers is taken up with upgrades, refurbishments and some repairs. But truthfully, even OEM components have gotten so good and so cheap it's not hardly worthwhile to build from scratch anymore. Home desktops seem to be on the way out and you can't easily custom build laptops so why bother?

    The latest computer we have is a Toshiba Qosmio and it's been rock solid for months. Time was you needed to burn in a computer and stress the various components, but failures for me have been very rare for the last, oh, three or four years ... ever since XP SP3 came out.
