Hey all I am at my vacation place right now and the system i built for here is acting up a bit..
There are shadows on the screen.. IE, When you have a dark color over a light color you can see the shadow of the dark color across the screen.. Also the screen flickers on and off ie monitor wants to go into standby mode while i am here typing....
Specs:
Asus P2B-F Bios Latest
PIII 500 @ 575
Temps CPU 92 MB 88 <---Farenheight
Nvidia TNT2 Pro 32MB AGP
320MB SD133 Ram
400 Watt PWS
15GB ATA 100 7200 RPM HD
16x DVD
CRystal Sound PCI
Broadexant 56K v.92


Now i just bought a new Viewsonic E55 Monitor thinking it was that but it wasnt.. Any ideas?

    Which Detonator drivers are you using? Along the same lines as M33pins, maybe you should underclock the video card.

    Erm....... silly question, but make sure the cable in in properly, and also try setting the refresh rate (Display >> Advanced Properties >> Monitor) to 60hz, see if its a bad refresh rate doing it.

    You didn't mention where your vacation home is but take a moment and stick a voltmeter in the power outlet from the wall and make sure the voltages are solid.

    No, look, see, you are supposed to LOWER the refresh rate to 60, not just look at it.
