New DS System w/Dead Pixels

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   4 month old system is now displaying many dead pixels on my Dell 24 inch
monitor. (1900x1200 res).  The further i page down or move the screen the
worse it gets....i.e....the numbers of missing pixels increases to the
point that you cannot read the screen contents.

I know it is not the monitor because I have tried two other computers and no
missing pixels show up.

Is the GTS250 card the only thing that would cause this or should I
be troubleshooting something else?

Should I just call DS to send back the GTS250?

Cheers

	Most liekey you may have a defective video card. However, I recommend trying to first: 1. Re-install your graphics driver with the latest version online. 2. Re-seat your video card and un-plug and re-plug the power connectors.
