Question about my monitor

[steven.m]

This evening when I get in from work my Mum is moaning because the computer wont start. Got the screen saying "Start in safe-mode/normally/last good configuration" but in every option it would just restart and repeat.

Eventually I decided just to reformat the computer, pain in the jacksie but hey ho. Got my AV on, internet up and running etc but when I scroll up and down a webpage (using either the mouse wheel or scroll bar) I get these funny lines across the screen as the page moves.

Never had this before, any ideas why its doing this? Also keep getting these pop-ups that say I need to go to some website and fix my registries and so on, how do I get these to stop? Pop-up blocker is on and they keep coming.

Cheers!

screen / video drivers.

go to device manager and make sure you have all the drivers.

^^ thats right, when you format you will need to re install drivers for your graphics card, that will sort it out.

Yup just get the latest version of your graphics card from your manufacturers website such as www.ati.com or www.nvidia.com

I've got an integrated graphics card on the mobo (I think), its a pretty poor computer to be honest. Not sure if I have the disc for monitor driver or the like. Need a new one anyway so thats an excuse to go get a new monitor

Thanks anyway.
