Just got a new GPU and wanna make sure it isn't getting squirrly on me already.
This happens sometimes comming out of sleep and on boot. You will see 5 or 6 seconds in a weird green line. I don't remember this happening before. Is this normal or bad indication for monitor or GPU?

If not, I can't see it. |

Update:
I switched out my GPU and that wasn't the problem because it still does the same thing. I also ran PRime 95 for 18hrs with no problem with the highest CPU temp reaching 61 degrees.
I am thinking this is motherboard related at this point. Any ideas?
Also, their has been two instances where the motherboard has not read or detected my mouse. Edited by AndydViking - 28 Dec 2009 at 4:12pm |

If this is a CRT monitor, I have seen that on a few that I own. If it isn't then it is probably your monitor if it only occurs when switching resolutions or gaining/loosing signal.

Thanks for the suggestion. It is on a LCD monitor however I have some CRT's laying around and I'll try them out and see if this still occurs. |
