Did you install all the proper drivers from the individual hardware device manufacturer's web pages?-- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP --How To Ask Questions The Smart Wayhttp://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

No. I used the cd's that either came with the computer or with the programs

Suggestions: Get the latest drivers, install them - especially your chipset and video device.Check that your video device - if a separate card in the computer - is locked down tight.Check that the cables from your computer to your monitor are locked down tight.Blow out (canned air, computer unplugged from power) the inside of the computer. Power supply, fans, processor and video card especially.-- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP --How To Ask Questions The Smart Wayhttp://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
